About The Olde Bar

The Olde Bar offers a nostalgic ambiance reminiscent of the old Bookbinder's, with a Garces twist. Despite some issues with long waits and small portions, the friendly service and fantastic cocktails make up for it. The food hits the spot, with tasty dishes like the lobster roll and chicken biscuit. The bar seating in booths adds to the experience, making it a place worth revisiting. It is also a seafood heaven for those who love seafood dishes, with dishes like Warm Lobster salad and smoked salmon spread being highly recommended. The restaurant's history and friendly bar staff create a welcoming atmosphere, perfect for quick bites or a more relaxed meal. However, parking can be challenging after 6 pm, especially on weekends. The dessert, especially the chocolate mousse cake with pistachio praline and cocoa nibs, is a highlight. Overall, The Olde Bar remains a good place for a casual and tasty dining experience, with a warm and lively bar scene that visitors enjoy.
