“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.“

“Gaming, food, service and atmosphere is second to none. Food is hot, drinks are cold, and so relaxing to be there. Ownership treats us like family. Come and see what I’m talking about it.

“A new grill was installed recently, so at this time food wasn't available but should be by 1/31. Nice quaint place to sit down and talk with friends. Course, I like shooting pool, a new pool table was installed around 1/10/2026. Drink prices are very reasonable. Great bar tender.“

“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.“

“Best staff ever. We were there for a few days and they really made us feel at home. I think her name was Cristina. Thank you so much. Perfect place to stay if your in that area.“

“Great atmosphere great people“

“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.“

“The Port is one of the best more relaxed restaurant/bars on the water. The staff is so welcoming and knowledgeable. A perfect vibe any night with live bands, DJs, and a touch tunes jukebox where you can play your own music. Tons of events during peak season, coinciding with the Island, and the Port even does Halloween and Christmas themed events. I’d love to hold my own event here one day.“
