That is all. (I mean, there's more, but mostly:) The FRIES.

Stumbled upon Bokeh Lounge as an out of towner. We were a party of 4. 3 of us had chicken tenders…read moreand they were delicious! Huge and juicy tenders with a few sauce options. Shoutout to our server Mikayla for the warning that the tenders didn't come with a side and recommending we order tots. Her service stood out throughout the meal. Our last friend had a breakfast burrito and she was also happy with her food. We came back shortly after we left because my AirTag notified me I had left my wallet in the restaurant. The staff went above and beyond helping us look in every crevice of the restaurant including the trash bins until we found the wallet. I will never forget their kindness in such a stressful moment. I live across the country, but if I'm ever back in Evansville I will for sure be visiting Bokeh again.

The grilled chicken tenders with house made vinegar kettle chips were so good. The smash burger was also a winner. We came on open mic poetry night. This was fun and unexpected. They are dog friendly with a huge outdoor sitting area. They have live music some nights. This is a fun place to eat, drink or just hang out. Great location in Haney Corner.

Had the Catfish special which the Knob Hill Tavern is known for and it lived up to its reputation…read more Our server Cassidy (I hope got that right) was so sweet and courteous and made this quaint tavern on a rainy night live up to its name. Great staff working together was nice to see and Knob Hill is more than a tavern with separate dining area and an outside patio with patrons dining despite the rain but we went in to the bar area so I could watch the weather reports for my travels the next day on one of their TV's. Great cold fishbowl mugs available and my son even met an old classmate from high school and got caught up on their lives. He even got a peck (kiss) on the cheek from a lady at the next table who couldn't resist his "lure of the animal" and the red face gave us all a chuckle. Great night at Knob Hill Tavern and Thanks again Cassidy for all you do!!

I will not be coming back to Bud's. We ended up leaving entirely because of the door bouncer. He…read morewas on a complete power trip, acting completely narcissistic and combative for absolutely no reason. It is a shame because the venue has potential, but the toxic and negative behavior at the front door ruined the night before it even started. Management needs to address the attitude at the door because turning paying customers away with that kind of disrespect is a terrible look for Franklin Street. The two door guys were clearly trying to bait one guy into escalating the situation- sad for the establishment. Also, The food was ok. Not good, but they were busy with the Nut festival. We sat and watched this guy for 30 minutes, then left and went across the street to the Six String Bar and finished our evening there. 10-10-26

Their signature cocktail list is $12 which seems reasonable for a spot like this (esp. if you're used to bigger city prices like I am.)

After making plans to meet up with my husband's high school friend, he suggested we come here. According to him, a bunch of his fireman friends hang out there & some of their older beloved teachers, from Evansville Mater Dei, which they hoped to run into. As soon as we sat down my husband & his friend found a friend immediately. They hugged & he sat down at our table, which was close to the front entrance. The tables were very cool! They are hinged to the wall & can be made so they are flat & do not take up space. From what I heard, the tables were custom made by a local artisan business. The fridges that housed the beers were commercial refrigerators you'd find at convenient stores, clear with one solid glass door. They were kind of industrial looking being in a bar, which I found aesthetically pleasing, but also smart. They are fully stocked & then can easily be seen when running low. This also allows customers to see what is & is NOT available. BRILLIANT! Drinks are very inexpensive. Bottles of wine can run you $12-16/bottle. Drinks are about $4! My husband's tab was less than $55 & we were there 5 hours! The bar owner is a good friend of our friend who was with us & he bought our pizzas, which were sausage & cheese. Unfortunately, the pizzas are pre-made by another restaurant & could not customize a non-dairy veggie pizza. So, no vegan options, but there are vegetarian options. The bathrooms are towards the back, a straight shot from the front door & designed with a Sailor Jerry themed murals on the doors. The service was great, the vibe was good, and has a mixed crowd, but mostly fire fighters. College night for a younger crowd is on Saturdays. We will definitely come again! My husband already came a 2nd time on our visit. I did not come along as I am feeling under the weather. We are eager to make this a meeting place with friends while in town.
