Service Bar at Middle West Spirits

The food, drinks, and music played were all fantastic. However, it was the friendly and personable service that really set this experience apart. Huge shout out to Abby for being so kind and helpful!

I am never disappointed by Service Bar. Last night was part of restaurant week and the selections were great. The food really impressed me as usual. The chef was spot on! The drinks too were tastey! Our service was fantastic. Our server was attentive but also, others who delivered the food, checked in on us, etc. were so receptive and pleasant. I will surely go back again!

We got there early. While waiting for our companions, a friendly waitress for us a drink an appetizer. Food was good, we had a nice time. We had several cocktails from the distillery and they were tasty! Minor issue - one guest is a vegetarian and one a vegan. The options are pretty limiting. There were no choices among the appetizers and only the Chef vegan special on the main course. So even though we had a nice time, this will remain an only occasional destination.

From a food and ambiance perspective, this was a great dinner. Cannot beat the creative cocktails here. Flat white and Manhattan's were excellent. Absolutely delicious. Each of our meals was stellar from juicy burgers to calamari bolognese to chicken sandwich. However, what really killed this meal was the most obnoxious, overbearing server. The restaurant was about 2/3 full and we knew the table was not about to be flipped, yet the server felt the need to "check on us" every 5 minutes. We were clearly still enjoying our first round of drinks, still eating dinner, still eating dessert and another round, yet she was oblivious to this. Her "are WE needing anything else", "are WE enjoying our french fries", are "WE liking our drinks" got to the point that we were ready to reply "WE would like you to back off" without being totally rude. It literally destroyed the entire vibe of the evening, given how insistent and invasive her interruptions were. She should be given the book "Setting The Table" to learn the difference between service and hospitality. I would give Service Bar 5 stars if not for this.

The food was absolutely fantastic. My wife and I ordered simple appetizers and entrees (Macaroni and cheese, Caesar salad, Pork chop Milanaise, and beef ragu paradelle) but each was prepared with a distinct flavor personality that sets it apart from other restaurants. I am looking forward to returning to tryout other menu items.

Drinks and food were excellent. The Caesar salad alone is worth the stop. Great hidden gem.

We were celebrating our daughters graduation. It was such a perfect place to go, great food, great service, loved it!! Will definitely go back!!

After a great tour of the distillery, we dined at the Service Bar (which is an impressive space highlighted by a turn of the century bar). Abby, our server, was delightful and guided us through the menu. We began with a smoked trout small plate - simply outstanding. As entrees, my wife had beef neck ragout which she described as very tender with flavorful vegetables. My spring pea gnudi was exceptional, with very fresh peas and delectable gnudi. Our son had the calabrian honey chicken, which he described as flavorful with a balance of savory and sweet spicy. The drinks, as one would expect, were superb as well. The old fashioned and Ireland's call worth the trip in themselves. The Middle West Service Bar, and the distillery tour, are hidden gems.

Delicious! The pork milenese was fantastic. Duck fat fries were great and my partners burger was spot on. Loved the manhattan and the Courtland sour. It was a quiet Saturday night and had spectacular service. Looking forward to being back and bringing friends. It's a cool vibe and great location. Parking lot next door!

Another fantastic dinner at Service Bar! The Old Fashioned was delicious and so well balanced. The Caesar salad was unique and so good. The dressing had a nice bite to it and the anchovy crisp on top was so good! The beef neck Ragu was to absolutely die for. Delicious wide pappardelle noodles with just the right amount of beef Ragu, flavor bomb in every bite!

Even better than I remember! I come here to try things I would probably never order elsewhere because I know it's going to be good. And I love that their bar staff can always help me find just what I'm itching for.

Cool vibes and tasty gastropub fare at the kitchen in Middle West distillery. Generous portions and helpful, attentive service. We had the smoked trout and wings as appetizers and some pappardelle with beef ragout and some pork cheek entrees (could have used more polenta), followed by some sticky toffee pudding topped with some buttery bourbon sauce. Cocktails were also generous and top notch, as to be expected from a distillery restaurant. Will be back.

Pair a meal here along a tour of the Middle West Distillery and you'll have a wonderful evening. The cocktails are really well made and the service is fantastic! They have a couple chef specials, one is a pizza and one is a vegan dish and we tried them both. They were absolutely delicious. They have specials on desserts as well as dessert cocktails. If you like any of the spirits you can stop at the attached bottle shop to grab some before you leave.

We had a table reserved on 2/15/25 and had a fantastic experience. The service was on point, with a friendly waiter who took very good care of us. There was a small mishap with a drink hitting the floor (party foul!), but everyone jumped right on it and made it a non-issue for us or anyone else around.

The food and drinks were top notch as well, all topped off by a great atmosphere. We will be back.

Parking: The attached lot is somewhat small for the number of cars. It seems like they minimized the parking space sizes to try and maximize the total amount of cars. Carpool if possible.

The atmosphere was nice, our server hovered a little too much, asking us about 4-5 times if our food was tasting good. The same food we had for the entire meal, kinda felt robotic. The wings were so overly salty we couldn't finish them, but everything else was delicious and our cocktails were excellent. We would go back.
