“Gotta get those jalapeño poppers and a burger!!!!!! So so so good!“

“Since its transformation into Taylor’s on Toft, this bar has established itself as one of Antioch’s most polished and welcoming drinking destinations. The owner—often found behind the bar—sets the tone with a warm, personable presence that immediately makes guests feel at ease. Her cocktail craftsmanship is equally impressive: the Manhattan is exemplary, balanced and precise, while the martinis are consistently excellent, executed with confidence and restraint. The ambiance strikes an ideal note—refined yet relaxed—making it a natural choice for a pre-dinner aperitif or a lingering post-meal nightcap. During a recent visit, a live singing group added a festive touch, infusing the space with genuine Christmas cheer without overwhelming the intimate atmosphere. While we have not yet sampled the food, dishes arriving at neighboring tables are beautifully presented and look enticing, suggesting the bar program is thoughtfully complemented by the kitchen. Taylor’s on Toft is a standout in Antioch: a place defined by gracious hospitality, expertly made cocktails, and an atmosphere that invites return visits. Highly recommended.“

“We stopped in to listen to L & M EXPERIENCE. Have never been to this place. The bartender la were fantastic and friendly. I was pleasantly surprised how affordable their drinks were. I had to ask her was she sure of the cost before I paid her.
We will be back. They have a great pool room and their slot machines are in a separate room set up very nicely. My husband ordered a. Diet coke and he pulled his money out and they said Pop is free. That was also surprising.“

“good place to go and the ppl are friendly and respectful, and yes very good food“

“Last weekend was our first time at this fun-loving bar on the water. We went to hear the band Crooked Fences because we have a friend in the band. They serve up bar food - burgers, cheese curds, etc. - and, of course, drinks in a fun atmosphere on the water. There are garage door that open to the dock, so it gives a outdoor vibe. They also have a ferry to Blarney Island that leaves from the bar for $15 round trip. The wait staff is friendly and attentive. A good place for a casual afternoon or evening by the water.“

“Stayed there in Summer 2022. Very clean, and even though our room was near the bar we did not have trouble sleeping. Gorgeous sunrise views. We did not get the email with the code so could not check in at check in time, so we had to wait an hour or 2. Not a huge deal. The bigger deal was the neighbor with the F… Biden sign (in her front yard) coming onto the property making guests uncomfortable.“

“looking for good food and down to earth people this is your spot. it's a staple in the community by boat or car you can hang out and have good drinks with good friends. if you don't know now you know!“

“Dee has really done a great job with Serve & Swig. The volleyball courts & leagues here are great. The outdoor patio atmosphere is really nice the way it sets up so everyone can easily spectate the matches. The staff is always friendly. The chicken tacos on Tuesday are 10/10.“
