Came in for an old fashioned after doing a quick search on yelp!…read more I like looking for the "best old fashioned" but realize that is all super subjective. There was absolutely nothing special about this old fashioned. I think the most disappointing thing about this drink was they muddled the luxardo cherry into the drink. The only place so far that I found that actually had luxardo cherries WHY would you muddle it. Ugh. The inside was cool. It really could have been a place I would frequent because of its proximity to work. But bummed they just don't have my drink. No biggie there are other places

My best friend and I loved our first experience at this club! ‍ the music was great and the drag…read moreshow was fabulous! Definitely the place to be for the alphabetmafia. Drinks pricing was fair most of the time. The service had its ups and downs. We enjoyed most of the bartenders; they were kind and funny. However we were turned off by one person's attitude. Seemed like she was trying to be funny but for some reason was just plain rude. We overheard one couple say they were leaving sooner than expected because of it. Everyone has a bad day so we steered clear of the bar and enjoyed the music and dancing. The atmosphere is chill and while energetic and FABULOUS! The only thing I would definitely change, if it was possible, would be to expand the space. Expand everything. Including the bathrooms. But they are doing great with what they have to work with! Overall a very fun experience! I highly recommend coming here for a fun night and mingling with amazing people.

What a special "new" place. This used to be The Carriage House restaurant and I didn't have the…read moreopportunity to eat there, so how the restaurant has changed as Vondra Social House, I don't know, but located adjacent to Abraham Lincoln's old neighborhood, this is a great location for locals and tourists. On a chilly mid-week evening I had the pleasure of visiting Vondra's and it was excellent. We sat upstairs and the vibe was chic speakeasy lounge. The stairs could be challenging for some folks, but you can eat on the main floor and that looked cozy as well. My dining partner and I each had a salad- mine was Caesar and it was yummy. We shared a plate of twisted fries and they were so unique and delicious! Deep fried yummies that are hard to describe. You definitely want to order some. Courtney our server was attentive and hilarious! She helped us make some food choice decisions and I hope she is my person the next time I eat there. There's a pretty extensive drink menu including non-alcoholic. I had a Pinot and it was tasty. You definitely want to plan a visit soon!

After stopping by the Abraham Lincoln House and library, we came across this microbrewery and had…read moreto go in! They also have a cidery, but it wasn't open during this season. Thankfully we still were able to get one cider, and they had a selection of other beers. The cider was tart and refreshing, and I really like the berry mocktail, which had ginger beer, and a mix of berries in it. As for food, the Nashville hot chicken sandwich came with a lot of heat which was great. I got the dry rub version, which is spicer than the saucy version. The horseshoe sandwich is a local favorite, which is an open faced sandwich with sliced bread topped with meat (we got the angus beef), fries, and cheese sauce. It was quite heavy and creamy because of all the sauce. Overall we enjoyed our meal and our server was very friendly, although service was on the slower side.

We came here on a Sunday before a matinee at the Hoogland -- full of hope, hungry, and maybe a…read morelittle too optimistic. The building is beautiful, the location is perfect, and we thought, "Hey, maybe those bad reviews were just people having a bad day." Spoiler alert: they were not. Service started strong. We were seated right away, and they even brought coloring pages for our kids -- a nice touch that gave us false hope. Then the food arrived, and it was like watching a plot twist in a bad movie. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Pony Shoe. It came out looking like someone microwaved a bag of frozen chicken tenders and tossed them in buffalo sauce for moral support. The cheese sauce might have been homemade -- it was grainy enough to make me believe someone whisked it themselves -- but there was barely any. Also, who hides the cheese under the fries? That's the star of the show! I had to beg for more, and even then it arrived lukewarm, much like my excitement for the meal. My wife ordered the Pork Schnitzel with "spaetzle." Except it wasn't schnitzel; it was a pork cutlet that had clearly seen the inside of a freezer longer than most people's leftovers. And the "spaetzle"? Nope. Straight-up spaghetti noodles. The mushroom sauce tasted like it came straight from a can labeled Cream of Disappointment. Two of the kids got cheese pizza -- or as I like to call it, "Frozen Circle of Regret." My son's "chips" were somehow both soggy and chewy, a texture I didn't even know existed. Frying them until they're crunchy shouldn't be rocket science, but here we are. Everything was bland, flavorless, and missing any sign of seasoning. The best dish of the entire meal? My daughter's burger on her Pony Shoe -- mostly because it resembled real food. And just to add a little flair, nearly every plate was dusted with dried parsley. Because, of course, nothing says fine dining like sprinkling dried parsley on frozen food. This place has serious potential -- it's got the space, the charm, and the perfect downtown vibe. But if your secret ingredient is "frozen," no amount of parsley is going to save you.
