This is the first Rumpus Room review in "over 10 years!" This is probably because the RR reopened…read morein August of 2025 after being shutdown for about 5 years! Okay people now THIS is a "neighborhood bar." It serves the historic Birmingham neighborhood of East Toledo, but seems very friendly to outsiders (like your's truly). Laice, the bartender was great. Drinks: Strong and well priced. Local booze? Yes! Several products from Toledo Spirits are in da house! Lots of domestic beer, White Claw, canned Bacardi's, etc). Craft beer? Nah. FOOD: Not really yet, but they are working on reopening the kitchen. Right now, however, they do have (LOL) chips, nuts, and beef jerky. And, you can bring in your own food, too. Very comfy atmosphere. TOTAL throwback. Again, THIS is a what a neighborhood bar is supposed to be. Tons of booths...seems like a great place to serve food. RR has pool tables, online Jukebox, keno, etc...everything you'd expect to find in a neighborhood bar. The Rumpus Room. Hey? It is what it is...and for this kind of place, it's 5 stars!

I live in a region with a lot of restaurants per capita, the vast majority of which are mediocre or…read moreoutright bad. They have remained so, unfortunately, because the people who live around here don't know any better, or simply don't care that their dining options are so abysmal. That said, the Rumpus Room is a dive bar that serves food. This is by no means a novel concept, and the bar (no pun intended) certainly isn't set high; however, a lot of bars around where I live manage to screw up simple things. Even worse, there are a few bars that market themselves as "gastropubs," which, in addition to being inaccurate, has the unfortunate side effect of duping some unsuspecting and unknowing diners into believing that they've stumbled upon a real gastropub. And now, a brief interlude... Merriam-Webster defines a gastropub as "a pub, bar, or tavern that offers meals of high quality," which is why it's risible that Ye Olde Durty Bird and Bar 145 think of themselves as gastropubs. This is not necessarily to say that either Ye Olde Durty Bird or Bar 145 serve poor-quality food (they don't) or that they're being intentionally dishonest by associating themselves with the term "gastropub" (they're not). What this is saying, however, is that people in this area wouldn't know a gastropub if one crept up behind them and smacked them across the face. Moving on, the Rumpus Room gets it right. No glamour, glitz, or puffery at 2212 Consaul Street, just good food. Nothing exceptional, mind you; then again, that's perfectly acceptable as long as you're not telling people something to the contrary. The burgers are excellent, and are served with house-made potato chips. On my last visit, I enjoyed a cup of chicken paprikash soup, likely a nod to the surrounding historically Hungarian neighborhood, Birmingham. The only other individual in the bar at the time of my last visit, a man I adjudged to be the proprietor, told me that this coming Friday would feature breaded pork chops, sweet and sour cabbage, and mashed potatoes, which I'm sure will be on par with everything else I've had here. The putative owner also offered that the meatloaf, the recipe for which was his mother's, has pleased everyone who's ordered it. Clearly, I need to order it the next time I'm there. I've only been to the Rumpus Room for lunch, so I can't speak to the alcohol offered; however, I've seen what's there. Draft beer isn't available, but the requisite brands of American lager (e.g., Budweiser, Bud Light) are. Likely owing both to the clientele and the time warp in which the Rumpus Room exists, widely available brands of liquor sit next to bottles of Black Velvet, Queen Anne, Seagram's VO, and, although I don't remember seeing it, I can't imagine there isn't a bottle of Cutty Sark somewhere. Contrary to the Rumpus Room's radio advert on 100.7 The Zone, I wouldn't bring my family here, and, were I single, I wouldn't bring a date here. But I would return - and have - for the friendly atmosphere and the satisfying meals.

And, you'll probably find them here at The Attic on Adams! This is a very cool bar. The drinks are strong and cheap. The atmosphere is eclectic and comfortable. The service is usually fast, friendly, and accurate. Local products? Yes. Pretty much all of the local distilleries are well represented here. Breweries too. The food? I haven't eaten here since Manos closed shop, but the apps looked pretty good. A couple of couches for comfortable seating, a couple or three pinball machines, pool tables, a dart board, or two. Yeah, you'll find them here. A few board games as well. The crowd? That's where the fun is. Very diverse and interesting. Very laid back and pretty friendly. If there's a hipster left uptown, you'll find him/her/them here! Five stars!!

I wish they had more canned beverage options but they do have drink specials and a good beer list. Just not what I drink in particular. I don't care for the current food menu as it's mostly fried food. Before they had the best fresh cut thick fries but are currently different. Staff is generally friendlyish.

Maaaaaan I wanted to love this place!!!!…read more First visit ever for me. It's a Monday and I had high hopes. Jazz Night!! We were 2 of 3 people there. I hated to leave but they didn't open until 7, and we had not eaten yet. The food variety is just typical bar food. I wasn't enticed enough to risk it. Service - they really need someone that appreciates jazz to bring the right crowd in. This particular bartender seemed less than thrilled to be there. Ambiance - If they work on that, this place would be a gold mine on Mondays!!! Needs a loungy intimate setting. Small tables in front of the stage along with thick deep read curtains surrounding. We walked into a dead cold bar and odds are we will not be back.

The only thing I'll say is that, it's an interesting place, very inconsistent, fake nice attitude and staff can escalate fast. I want to think it'll get better, I'll try anywhere 3x however, this has been a hit, followed by more misses than hits. I keep trying but, there are other places.

But in all seriousness, this place had a very large menu with many different options to choose from, which I always love. I ordered the "club classic "with french fries and a side of the smoked Gouda mac & cheese. As you can see in the photo of the sandwich is a serious sandwich that was very large and I could only eat half of it. The ingredients were fresh and I loved how toasted the bread was. The mac & cheese was also quite yummy. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

If you need an after work pick-me-up, OR, if you want to edge off after work, BHD has you covered! This place is both a coffee shop, and the "speakeasy." Want a coffee or tea drink, a bagel, a banana, or a bougie pastry? You can find these in the cafe. If you want an excellent, if not overpriced, cocktail? You can find it at the bottom of the spiral staircase, in the bar area. The area directly above the bar (up a few steps up from the cafe), is a nice seating area. The view, over the parking lot(s) of the river, is surprisingly scenic. Service: This is a weird one...on nearly every occasion that we've been here, the wife and I got strange vibes. The people behind the counter in the coffee shop seemed, for some reason, snobby and aloof. C'mon, girls, you're baristas, not prima ballerinas...Still, the service was at least fast and accurate. I like the atmosphere. From the comfy chairs in the cafe, to the "secret" back door of the speakeasy, this place is very cool. However, THE BAR NEEDS A FOOT RAIL! All in all, this is a very nice edition to the downtown coffee, and bar, scene.
