I can't wait to come back and sit on the deck during the summer or fall. I had an N/A drink as I was driving. It was really mellow but refreshing. My friend had a bonafide cocktail and also enjoyed the citrus and clove flavor. We had the buffalo chicken dip and fig and prosciutto flatbread. Both really good and clean. By that I mean I had no stomach issues after eating there. Service was good although they could have come by more often. Nonetheless I will be back.

Say it with me: OVERRATED. The scene is odd, the furnishings…read moreare odd (old office chairs and old wheelchairs for seating) but I could get past all of that if the drinks were actually good... Sometimes you look at a drink menu and are intrigued but a bunch of options, this place was the opposite, not one drink looked good. All of the options are very masculine in nature: vermouth, bitters, etc.. you would think there would be something with like vodka or tequila and some fruit but nope. There was one drink that almost fit that profile but they threw in pink peppercorn and I was told that under no circumstance would they alter the ingredients... makes me think the bartender is either incapable or a complete jerk. In any case, bad customer service. I came here with 3 others and no one liked their drinks.

An open-faced Meatloaf sandwich with mashed potatoes, gravy, and crispy onion rings. Nicely seasoned and a good portion (see photo). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Service: I sat at the Bar, so Service was good--not great. It was busy, so it's okay. Still, a "non Bartender" took my food order. He came back twice to confirm what he wrote down. That's sad, so I'm taking a Star. Ambiance: A vibrant crowd with a lot of activity and many TVs. If you're looking to grab a meal and want a good atmosphere, this is the place. Overall: Food is tasty and filling, prices are good, and value for the price is great! Give them a try!

Good, but inconsistent…read more We went to Beartown Bar & Grill for the first time last week, and it was so good that we returned 3 days later. We ordered the same things on both visits. We had the signature burger with fries and a side of ranch, and the chicken and ribs with a salad. On our first visit, we were seated promptly. The burger was fresh and the fries were super hot and tasty; the ranch tasted homemade. The chicken was amazing, the ribs had a delicious sauce that was smoky and not too sweet, and the side salad was big enough that we were able to actually split it between us. The waitress was attentive without being annoying and she brought us 3 wet wipes and an extra plate to put the discarded rib bones on. However, just 3 days later, we had an entirely different experience. We stood at the door for easily 10 minutes before being seated. The waitress forgot to bring the ranch dressing we asked for when we ordered. The fries were cold-ish and stale; the burger didn't taste seasoned. The side salad had a rotten slice of cucumber and we only got 1 side of dressing when we got 2 sides of dressing previously. The salad wasn't large enough to share this time. The pieces of chicken were smaller and although the ribs were still good, this time we had to ask for wet wipes (we were given 2 instead of 3 like last time) and a plate for the rib bones. It was pretty disappointing... if our first experience at Beartown had been like our second visit, we wouldn't have gone back.
