“With over a thousand different kinds of whisky (~700 being bourbon alone), this is a very good place for an after work drink. Great atmosphere , first bourbon bar in the area so lots of history, and comparable prices. I had the sample flights from Aaron and Liv, both offered an excellent sampling (although I liked Aaron's better - sorry Liv). What even made it more comfortable was the lady knitting at the bar, just like being back at my American Legion Post. Loved it. I will be back!“

“This is my go to hangout get a drink and a bite spot. It is comfortable, nice chill vibe. The Cuban food is great. They have my favorite Cubano I have ever had even better than ones I have had in Miami. Drinks aren't dive bar cheap but also not crazy expensive.

“Food and Service Great! However, I was Staying @ the Radisson & No One Mentioned There Is A Breakfast Buffet. No One Mentioned the Lounge Is No Longer A Bar. Meaning No Lunch, Dinner, Nor Alcoholic Beverages. Just Serves Breakfast Only.“

“One of the staff thought it'd be 'funny' to try and steal my purse. I was watching the band play and he tried to take my purse from me. He only stopped pulling on my purse when my friend and I yelled at him. He tried to play it off as a joke. I didnt get his name. We left after the incident. This place is not safe for women when staff are behaving like this.“

“Had an awesome time. The vibe is exactly what you want—classic dive bar feel with NHL on and Labatt on draft. As an out-of-towner, I felt right at home thanks to the bartenders and the regulars—they were all fun, welcoming, and made it a great night. Definitely a spot I’d come back to.“

“I recently hosted a baby shower at Blinker's Tavern and I must say it was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. This establishment truly exceeded my expectations in every aspect, leaving me with a lasting impression. From the moment I reached out to Blinker's to inquire about hosting the baby shower, the event coordinator Amy L. was incredibly friendly, attentive and accommodating. The restaurant, servers and host went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect. They seamlessly coordinated the flow of food and beverages, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and allowing me to enjoy my time. Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Thank you!“

“This was my first time at the gruff and it was absolutely amazing. The food was great. The service was amazing as well, and we got to sit outside and enjoy the weather! Most definitely will be going back.“

“Great food , not too heavy“

“The bbq food was so delicious! The homemade bbq sauces were so tasty! The baked beans were delicious too! Also, the pretzels were some of the best I’ve ever had (especially with the garlic seasoning added)!“

“My husband and I had a great experience at Libby's. We ordered the sampler which was juat okay. Our biggest gripe with it was that the pork belly was overcooked and too chewey on the deviled eggs. The goetta balls fine in the sauce they were served with but, the fried green tomatoes stole the show. The sauce had a slight kick that paired so well with the fried tomato.
For the main course we had a Hot Brown and Shrimp with grits; both of which were rich in flavor and took oir taste buds to a new level.

Dessert included hot served bread pudding with apples and Honey Pie. The pudding we will be getting again soon. The Honey Pie was a new and interesting dish. If you're looking for pie that is custard-like , similar to pumpkin pie but with honey flavor, order this.

Service was friendly and available without being pushy. The atmosphere was relaxed. We'll undoubtedly be returning soon.“
