“All of the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. What an awesome and unique venue to see my favorite music played live! I drove from Indianapolis just to see a show, and not a single complaint or regret. How it should always be done. These folks get it. If your band plays out, this is where you want to see them.“

“Went out for drinks last night not expecting much, just a typical sports bar, but was surprised at the upscale quality of the drinks. Our bartender Darren was great and super talented- he made us a variety of stuff from on and off menu and even gave us drink recommendations based on what he thought we’d like after asking us about our preferences. There is a legitimate cocktail bar program hiding in here!“

“We went midday with no one in here and it was great. The prices for the drinks are much better than what I pay at home. The bartender could have been more sociable but she was preparing for the rush hour I assume. There is plenty of seating and the heat on the outdoor patio works very well.
Being able to order food from below is great also. See you next time“

“Amazing place !! Highly recommend“

“Great local low key bar with friendly attentive staff“

“What a great find! We were looking for a place to take a bunch of kids after a birthday Zipline adventure. Decided to try this and it was perfect! The upstairs is amazing! So big and spacious with a bar and balcony and party room with games.
I don't think they want to be known as a place for kids parties, but they were accommodating nonetheless and it was a hit with the kids.
They even had pizzas ready for us when we got there (I called about 20 minutes before we arrived).“

“Great neighborhood bar. Great bartenders, fantastic beer selection, but if you’re looking for food, you’re in the wrong place go across the street or next-door to Mo Chico or Tequila.. This is my favorite neighborhood. Hang out. Parking on the street or across the street in the Paige lot, or behind building on free parking deck.“

“Went here to actually get photos for a college project, a jazz themed session, the staff were so welcoming and understanding! This tavern is so cozy and unique. I love this hidden little gem! Would return here as a customer due to how polite the staff were.“

“Ok, just got home. Truth review. I had a twistin and shakin time!! The band was Memphis Rhythm Review and they brought it! It. Was. Broughten y'all!! Props to Brian for bringing them in! Find the band, follow them, and the bar, for good music and dancing. Thanks again for a fun night!“

“Great place! Kim and Peter make everyone feel welcome.“

“This establishment is top notch in every way! I recommend the “Kyle” and the “Yolanda Mai Tai” 😊“

“This place is absolutely INSANE!!! Never thought I could spend 5+ hours in one store, with 3 kids along with me, and not get bored and ready to leave. We will 100% be back!“

“Popped in after dinner downtown last night and Prim certainly delivered! I have been gushing about the ambiance and aesthetic since we walked in to anyone who will listen. I literally cannot wait until my next visit because the vibe matches my energy perfectly. This place is such a breath of fresh air, not to mention how pretty it smells inside. The decor is to DIE for - literally bury me at Prim when I die. Love, a new regular for sure.“

“I came in for warmth today after my car broke down a block over and I had to wait for a jump. I told the barista, Tate, why I was upset and he showed me immense kindness. He let me put on a tv show I like and offered to help me jump my car. Coffee was delicious too. I’m so grateful for his kindness. Thank you Tate!“

“Bartender/owner showed my friends and I a great time to start off our night! Streetside parking on the edge of campus. Environment felt very safe and welcoming.

“I’m no stranger to dive bars—I've made a habit of seeking them out like some people collect vinyl. But on this particular night, I didn’t stumble into one by choice.

The car broke down on I-75, leaving me stranded with a dead phone, a finicky bank, and a AAA estimate that might as well have been a suggestion to take up knitting. Three hours for a tow? I wasn't built for that kind of existential waiting.

I did the most practical thing that a woman in a stupid dress and painful, platform shoes could do: I hiked through abandoned service roads that stretch like ghostly veins off the highway—and found myself at the New Stumble Inn.

If you’re on a quest for artisanal cocktails or a curated list of craft beers, this isn't your haven. But if you're in desperate need of a cold beer and the kind of comfort that only comes from worn bar stools and neon signs that hum like they might give up any second, well then, take that high heeled exit off the abandoned service road, my friend.

The night played out like some kind of fever dream. My phone battery was circling the drain, my bank decided that I was a top tier mafioso worthy of card freezing, and I was left with the very real possibility of being stranded in every sense of the word. The New Stumble Inn didn’t let me panic. In this dive bar, surrounded by strangers who felt like family, I was safe.

A bar patron —someone I’d never met—offered to let me CashApp her to cover my tab. The bartender threw a Post-It my way for last-minute Uber details, promising I wouldn't “just be walking home." And I did get home safe and sound.

The next time that I go to the New Stumble Inn, it will be on purpose and not via an abandoned service route.
Because it really is a shame that I discovered this place under these circumstances. Establishments like this transform patrons into a community, creating unexpected belonging. This isn't just a bar; it's a sanctuary for the stranded. It is a go-to for those needing a cold drink and a warm welcome, no matter how they stumbled in.“

“Dana g can’t be me !! 💯🙌🏻❤️“

“One of the best bars in Norwood. Sara, Amy, and the rest of the bartenders are amazing.“

“Nothing but the best to say about the Bay Horse Cafe. Our company is right next to him and we greatly enjoy stopping in after work. Kyle is a great owner with everything operating smooth as can be. His staff is also awesome and friendly as can be which is just a reflection of how much Kyle cares about providing a quality experience for his customers.“

“First time visiting Logo's n tried the Homerun Nachos. I think they might be the "goodest"! 😋 And great friendly service too!“
