Thunderbolt is a popular spot known for its amazing drinks and delicious gluten-free chicken. It has made it to the best bars list, offering creative cocktails like the "liquid picnic" with a unique twist. The restaurant features an extensive cocktail menu with many different styles of drinks, showcasing cool techniques and layered flavors. Most of the drinks are batched, and while some may not be perfectly balanced, the bartenders are friendly and skilled. The food options are limited but include favorites like the chicken sandwich, fries, fried chicken biscuit, and Mac n cheese. The atmosphere is great, with a soundtrack that keeps the vibe just right—not too buzzy and not too low key. Despite occasional loud celebrations, the staff provides excellent service even during busy times. The patio makes it a casual hangout spot, and there’s no waiting time for seating, making it a convenient choice for a night out. Parking may be a challenge, but the friendly environment and quality drinks make Thunderbolt a favorite destination.
