Best maitre d’, fantastic service, great raw bar, awesome vibe
Just a smidge over priced but overall good food, great fries, and a cool vibe. Love the decor, booths, overall feel. Definitely a good date night spot.
I haven't been there in awhile so now all the people that used to work there are gone. There are new set of people. It is still a good place for a quick bite. I think the option for happy hour is very limited.
Parking: I normally arrive there early so I don't have issue with street parking at that time. It is harder for parking after 6 pm especially on Friday and weekends.

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.
