“Everyone was friendly- my sister and I thru ancestry .com found 4 nieces frm our older sister who we thought had been dead for over 50yrs- alive! . Three of the nieces came to Ohio and one of the places we went was the tavern-the story got told and everyone was so happy for us- It was mind blowing! We had a great time!“

“great bartenders family to me. great local bar“

“Delicious food. Came quickly too. Very pleasant wait staff. Weren’t rushed at all. This is about my 4th or 5th time. Still go back. Worth the drive.“

“Great food! Great service!“

“Great food. Great service. Going on a busy night can lead to some issues. I was with a party of 9 and although most of the food came out great, a couple of people got lukewarm/cold dishes. I chalk it up to large group and busy night but still something they need to work on.“

“Stopped in after a Reds game to get dinner with my wife on our way back to the KOA Campground nearby. Clare had our table and was a great server! Frequent visits to the table, very cheerful, and served us a fantastic steak sandwich. Draft beer was cold and clean taste. And they have Keno. My kind of place, I will be back the next time I’m in the area 😁“

“We ate here for the first time today( yes I know long overdue) for brunch. Great atmosphere, clean, stylish the food was awesome, the service was top notch in our waitress Taylor. I took the time to tell the manager of Taylor’s performance as it was solid ahead of the curve it all culminated into a great dining experience. It was refreshingly top notch all the way around.

“Our favorite Friday night spot! We visit weekly and I am finally taking time to come here and write a review. Hands down the best service, food and atmosphere! I love their menu, there are plenty of options for every one. We’ve had them accommodate large groups for us and again provide top notch service. We always request our favorite server, Dion and she never disappoints! She is friendly and so attentive to us. We appreciate her! We appreciate a close place to enjoy a great meal and spend time with friends and family! ❤️“

“My parents were in town last weekend for my birthday and we were feeling some Italian food for lunch on Sunday and this place was a pleasant surprise. The Muffuletta was extremely good and the sandwich bun wasn't hard like some Italian subs are, so it didn't cut up my mouth. My dad got the Italian sandwich and he said that was very good. My mom couldn't decide one what size of Margherita pizza to get, and the server gave a good recommendation for the perfect amount. Overall great experience and I want to try out a dinner service in the future. The whole reason I knew about this place was because I saw pictures of how it looked inside and the exposed brick and wine rack all look great.“

“came from Hillsboro and was not disappointed!!! great food and great service!“

“great place to drink and meet new people“

“Years ago I came here and was not a fan. Decided to give the place another go and it did not disappoint!! By far some of the best poutine I’ve ever had. Also a big fan of the southern comfort foxy fries (I actually dreamt about getting them again). Truly could not choose a favorite between the two. My boyfriend and I have gone twice this week it is so good. Also tried the pulled pork sandwich which the meat and bbq sauce were terrific, my only complaint is that it could’ve had a little more meat on it. We also had the wings which were well seasoned and the sauce on the side complimented them well. We already want to come back and try the smash burger and other items on this menu. Very excited to add Lock 27 into our restaurant rotation.

*update as we now come here once a week. The classic smash burger is out of this world, we have to order atleast one when we come. Also tried the blue cheese chicken sandwich (swapped BC for Swiss though) and it did not disappoint. The slaw was a little too wet but the chicken was crispy and not too thick. The poutine has been consistently amazing. This fall they had my personal favorite HVO blackberry bliss on tap and then rotated to a similar berry cider that might have turned into my *new* favorite drink. Also had a berry cocktail (name?) since my original review and it was good. They can’t serve liquor on sundays though.“
