“I’m in town for work and, after having an absolutely terrible day, I just wanted to find a good place to sit outside, listen to some live music, and unwind. I had never been here before, so I came in and waited at the front to be seated outside near the band. After standing there for a while without anyone acknowledging me, I finally decided I’d just sit at the bar instead.

I sat at the bar for about 10 minutes and still no one came over. At that point, I was honestly ready to leave.

Then Jade came over.

She noticed me looking outside and immediately asked if I had been helped. Without me even asking, she offered to find me a place to sit outside near the music. She went completely out of her way to find me a spot, told me she would take care of me, and proceeded to serve me the entire night, even though I don’t believe that was originally her responsibility.

She completely turned my experience around.

I found out later that Jade is brand new, which made me even more impressed. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care. She just has a light about her that you can’t teach.

I work in HR, so I know good talent when I see it. Jade is a keeper. I hope management recognizes what they have in her because she absolutely deserves the recognition. What started as a night where I was ready to walk out ended up being exactly what I needed after a really hard day, and that was entirely because of Jade. She rocks 💕“

“Great atmosphere and Taylor always takes care of her customers!“

“Food has been fantastic. 3rd time there for after work eating, relaxing. Service is great. Tasty foods! Everyone is so nice. Glad we we're told of this gem ! Molly (I call her super Molly..lol) is a GEM !! Great attitude, smile, friendly, attentive. She is fabulous to say the least. Not many places have such nice employees as Anastasia's does. Molly goes beyond expectations ! I'm sure others do also but Molly takes the cake for us. Great going Anastasia's !! Oh...get your shirts too folks. (Brian).“

“Very Good Dinner tonight. We had Brisket dinner over mashed, dark chicken thighs with mashed and garlic shrimp over pasta. All meals were quite good. Ample portions. Only fault today, Food came out too fast... salad was 2 minutes behind our appetizer, and main course was out before we were done with our salads. We will be back.“

“The staff is very friendly. The food was good. The atmosphere was wonderful. I recommend you guys to get the hamburger there they have different ones.“

“Super fun old school experience“

“Great place the pizza and food are amazing. Best pizza around!!! The new management has really turned this place around with new and really good menu items and even great breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. The place is beautiful and atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. Staff is doing an amazing job!!!“

“We got here for the post Polar Plunge free drink promotion. My friend and I received our free drink, and because the bartender, Bonnie, was attentive and sweet, we stayed for a couple more drinks and ordered some food. Would totally return when next in the area. . . With any luck Bonnie will be working.“

“The Cheeseburger on a Pretzel bun was very good and I would recommend it. I like their selection of German & Craft beers. I will be back at the Old Munich Tavern next Friday.“

“Fantastic experience! Awesome game room, bar, tacos, and Jenna is the very best at what she does 👏“

“Stopped at the wall after watching The exorcist believer which I actually thought was pretty good despite the reviews lol but only to see what the place looked like and to show others who might be interested in visiting themselves. I did a little digging online and seen that they have a bingo night which I would like to come back to but overall there is plenty of space and this is a great option if you want to just find a relaxing place to sit down relax watch a game and enjoy your meal plus if you go in the middle of the week in the middle of the day it's like you have a whole theater to yourself plus zifaros make some of the best fries I've had believe it or not.“

“We used Mickey Finn’s “Amber Room” for our ~100 person wedding and it was incredible!! We had so many complements on the venue about how fun and intimate it felt and was just an amazing atmosphere to celebrate in! I’m also going to give a lot of credit to the wonderful staff! Everyone loved the bartenders. The event coordinator (Kristen) couldn’t be better at her job!! From the time we booked to when we walked out the door at the end of the night, she was there and helping! She couldn’t have made it easier for us to enjoy the night. This is an amazing venue for any event, but highly recommend for a wedding if you’re looking for something more laid back but still beautiful and practical. Everyone loved the food and said it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to! We had so much fun and wouldn’t change a thing!“
