“Awesome hole in the wall away from the Mainstrasse. You need to check it out!!“

“I really like this spot! I am just now getting into bourbon after a long time of not being a bourbon drinker, so I had never made the effort to check this place out, but I wish I had much earlier! While they have a wide bourbon selection, of course, they do have other drinks, and cocktails, too. The cocktails are phenomenal and unique!

The people are great and the vibe is very accepting and welcoming. The bartender was so kind and attentive. It is a quaint but beautifully kept place, and I really enjoyed my afternoon there! The happy hour deals were nice, too!“

“The vibes were electric the second we walked in, definitely the spot on a Saturday night. We sat at the bar and ordered food through the QR code and later grabbed a seat by the fire 😍. Not my preferred way of ordering but it made perfect sense for the bar setting. The quesadilla was amazing and my husband got the wings, we shared the cornbread, the butter!! 🔥 We had the sweetest little bartender help us, I didn’t catch her name but she was cracking us up! Good vibes all around and worth checking out!“

“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.“

“I love love love the vibe here. The Dj was off the hook . I had a great time here. Infact if you wanna have fun, come to Gypsy. It’s also not pricy. I was not impressed with the state of the rest room when I went to use it. Though it may be a one time thing. However, I still love Gypsy. It’s all fun fun fun“

“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!“
