“Great food, fast service friendly“

“We had a birthday gathering here and the food was very good, atmosphere was very good, but Lisa the server was beyond exceptional! She really did a great job especially having such a large party to take care of. Friendly, humorous, timely and accurate. We all appreciated her and agreed she was the best server we've all had in a long time!“

“Excellent! From the food to the service. The prices are reasonable and the music and atmosphere made all of this together a total hit. In an unassuming strip mall, we also drove right by! We will definitely be back!“

“best place in Toledo hands down“

“We were in Ohio for a wedding and stopped here for dinner. There was a 45 minute wait but after a quick look inside, we decided that it was worth checking out. We were very glad we waited, the appetizers were incredible and the burgers were perfect. I love bourbon and was impressed at their selection. If we are ever back in Ohio, we will definitely be back.“

“Claude’s hosted our Oregon Economic Development Foundation mixer, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park. The food, the service, the atmosphere — everything was truly exceptional. Our group was well taken care of from the moment we walked in, and the staff went above and beyond to make the night seamless. The setup was perfect for conversation and networking, and the menu was outstanding. Our guests raved about the entire experience. Claude’s never misses. Highly recommend them for any event or gathering.“

“Triple Crown is a cozy, local neighborhood bar tucked inside a small plaza next to the meat market on Highland Sylvania. From the moment you step through the door, the space exudes a welcoming, low-key vibe. The venue is compact, featuring a pool table near the entrance, a small jukebox, and a long bar that stretches along the side. Bathrooms are located at the back of the building, and along that wall you’ll find a few high-top tables for seating.

The drink selection is straightforward and reliable. They carry basic domestic beers and well-known liquors such as Jack Daniel’s, Patron, and Crown Royal, along with a small bourbon selection—a nice touch for bourbon enthusiasts. The staff consistently impresses with their friendliness and efficiency, and the bar itself is usually clean and well-maintained. Patrons come from all walks of life, contributing to a genuinely neighborhood feel.

It’s important to note that Triple Crown does not have a kitchen or serve full meals. There is a small rack of snack-sized chips if you’re feeling peckish, but beyond that, no food options are available. The front section offers a few chairs and a small area for socializing, and if you’re a smoker, there’s space at the front of the building to enjoy a cigarette while sipping your drink.

Though the bar is modest in size and amenities, it offers occasional live music and fun events, and the staff is happy to help celebrate birthdays or other special occasions. Triple Crown is exactly the kind of neighborhood pub you visit for good drinks, friendly service, and an easygoing atmosphere—no frills, just a welcoming spot to relax and enjoy yourself.“

Shelly and Adrienne served great drinks all evening. Everyone commented on what a great time they had. Don’t hesitate to book Shelly’s for your next event!“

“This evening was my first time checking out the taproom. I no longer live in Sylvania and tonight that breaks my heart because I can't eat their spinach pie every day. I would eat this breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Our server, Krista, was fab. Excellent service, great food, great drinks. Full stop. Krista made our night special. Spot on food and drink recommendations and excellent service. Did I mention the spinach pie?? Best I've ever had. I'm glad we did ourselves the favor of going to the Taproom. It is an experience we won't soon forget. Thanks to our amazing bartender, chef, and server!!“

“Come in and check it out for yourself theres no complaints come have a good time playing pool listening to music or a have drink with ur friends or by yourself they have clean bathrooms clean place all around outside patio live music ask bartender when neighborhood bar but always welcoming new faces“

“Townie bar. Service is kinda slow, one bartender thinks she is the almighty higher being and will cut you off for no reason, but everyone likes to feel special and that they're in charge of others. It's been around for 100 years, probably be around for another 100. If you like the dark, depressing bar atmosphere, this is the place for you!“

“friendly bartenders and customers. great prices on drinks. I go in the afternoon and feel safe“

“I believe this is the place to go if you want it all.Food,cold beer,pool tables, TVs, and good music“

“For a dive bar, this is a lovely little place with standard drinks, a lot of good local options with alcohol coming from local breweries and local distilleries. The service there is outstanding and the mix of people is a little bit eclectic and changing day by day. I will definitely be coming back again. The drinks are inexpensive and delicious. It makes for a great option at the end of the day.“

“This place is so good. If you are looking for a unique pizza place. This is it. The cook and the style is different from anywhere else in the area. Great for date night, family dinner and boys night out. Do your self a favor and check it out. You won’t be sorry.“

“I didn't visit this place the other day, but I was nearby. I've visited here in the past and from what I hear it's much better than before. One things for certain and two for sure, the chicken is SMACKIN!! I used to visit back in the say to sit down and have a drink, dance, and enjoy the music. Sometimes they would have live bands and singers. Then some nights they would have a DJ. $2 Tuesdays would jump! That's where drinks were only $2 all night. Now whenever I'm nearby, I could SMELLTHAT CHICKEN! YES!!! I may go there soon to buy some.“

“I may or may not have been drunk here a few or a few hundred times or so 🤷🏼‍♂️ good people.“
