Blue Willow is a local bar that is full of locals! They have a good amount of TVs always playing whatever sports are on. I was their during lent, and enjoyed their shrimp dinner, it was crispy and a good portion. I sat at the bar, so service was great. If you sit at a table, you may have to walk up to the bar if you need something right away. read more

Blue Willow Lounge - Crispy Shrimp Dinner. It comes with fresh cut fries, but I upgraded to waffle fries with cheese. - Dive Bars Near Me - Macedonia, Ohio

I came to Blue Willow on Friday night after seeing a movie. A customer was throwing up on the sidewalk when I walked in. The place was trashed. Chairs tipped over. Garbage all over the floor. Everyone in the place was blasted drunk and stumbling around. I sat at an open stool at the bar and had my card out in my hand. One bartender was entering her tips but looked right at me then turned back around to what she was doing and ignored me after that. The other bartender was doing shots with customers. She looked right at me then poured herself another shot. I sat there for 10 minutes until a new customer sat down. The bartender walked right past me and served her friend the new customer. I walked out and won't ever be back. read more

Some friends and i frequently have came here for almost 2 years now because of the cheap drinks but won't be here anymore. I was here Saturday night, 8/15 to be exact, and was thrown off from how rude the bartender was to me and my cousin (blonde hair, short in stature) . She complained that we never tipped and said she didn't care if we were there or not but never has been friendly with us nor tried to have a conversation like she does with everyone else. She hasn't even bothered to know our names but can remember we don't tip lol. Keep in mind we've never been rowdy nor have caused any problems in this bar neither. A lot of the guys that come in simply ask for a beer or other simple drinks where as we like to have mixed drinks so i guess that's why she was upset lmao idk. Regardless you are a BARTENDER, it's your job to make drinks, you aren't entitled to have my money as a tip. Especially when everything you make tastes like you've poured half a bottle of lemon juice into the cup. There's been times where guys will come almost behind the bar and get very touchy with her, some even trying to kiss her which is concerning but she laughs it off so i guess they don't get treated the way we did because they tipped?? Idk weird vibes when we could've been asked nicely to start tipping. No tip for you boo :( read more

The WORST service in the world. The owner told me to go away after a dispute on a $30 order.. that was NOT Delivered. I TIP that much- but I was accused of being rude after not getting my food. I guess that allows a tiny-awful little place to turn away business read more

Just don't!!! The $1.75 short draw of Yuengling was the highlight. After the bartender said "the food is really good here", I ordered a cheeseburger with chili on the side such that I could create my own chili burger. The bun was raw, always better toasted at least, right? The burger itself was hard, dry and close to inedible. The chili was room temperature and I've had better out of a tin can. A couple of tablespoons of chopped onion added $.50 to the bill. Fresh cut fries were decent. I'd been driving all day and didn't want to go elsewhere; but I regret the decision to see this through. Bartenders in between their shifts and I got lost in the shuffle. Never bothered to ask me how it was, never asked for another beer, I had to beg for the check. $16.15 before tax, you should be ashamed of yourselves! read more

Had lunch with a friend and this place was great! It is not an overly polished place, but very easy and relaxed! I had the willow burger and it was the best "bar" burger I have had in a long time! A lot of beers on the menu. It is a place I would love to have in my neighborhood! read more

I was so excited to find this little dive when we moved to Macedonia. Finally, a place other than a chain where we can get some good food and drinks. I really enjoy the fish sandwich, which is crispy and delicious, and the daily specials but when we dined in, we felt really uncomfortable. No one was practicing social distancing and only about half the patrons wore masks. We decided to start ordering take out only from then on out. We have ordered maybe 5 or 6 times. The food is still great but it's hard to reach anyone by phone and then when we show up, we have had to wait for 15-20 minutes longer. My husband said the last time he picked up, not even the staff were wearing masks. We will hold off on future orders until this pandemic improves but what a disappointment. I love the food but just didn't feel safe. read more

I must admit this is my local watering hole for sure. Love the atmosphere and the people here. You always meet someone knew and its a blast to hang out with the girls behind the bar!! The wings are some of the best I have had for sure with there own homemade sauces. Monday night is taco night 3 tacos for $3 Tuesday night is wing night and every night during any Tribe game is $1 build a hot dog night. Add $1 for chili. Some specials they carry during the week. Cincinnati Chili usually on Monday's Meatloaf on Tuesday's Steak Hoagie basically anytime now. Fish Fry's on Friday's Patio is open always open Live DJ on Friday and Saturday Nights Usually have a live band once a month Also they have added KENO..........KENO ROCKS!!!!!!!!!! read more

See all

Miserable waiting over one and half hour. Other tables served before us. Pathetic. Won't be back. Will do winking Lizard instead. ... Sorry local establishment you screwed yourself.... read more

I just called blue Willow to ask what the food special was for the evening. The phone was answered by a man and he said "it's Burger night." I asked him what that meant and he said all the burgers were on sale and that I could add whatever I wanted for a set price. I asked what that set price was, and he said "I don't know." I asked if there was someone there that knew and his response was "yes but I'm busy right now." I said "sorry for bothering you" and hung up. 1. Who works somewhere without knowing the specials 2. Why answer the phone if you don't in fact know what the special is 3. Why make a customer feel like they're bothering you for asking 4. Why not just find out the answer In my opinion, you won't stay "busy" for long if that's how you treat your customers. I was in the service industry for 20 years, and not at one of my previous employers would that be acceptable! read more

Such a nice neighborhood hang out. The atmosphere is nice, the food is good bar food The bar maids are nice and pleasant. Pool table if you enjoy playing. The owner is so nice, comes and speaks to her patrons all the time. Very pleasant lady. There are many TV's around, nice place to watch the games if you like. read more

A great place to watch a game or just have a drink. Reasonable prices, good food and friendly staff.

Beyond disappointed... Picked up tonight.. 40 min late Fries were BLACK! Wings soggy. You need to step it up. Used to love the food but standards have dropped. read more

Ordered food last night because we heard food was decent - WRONG. Shrump dinner - shrimp was burnt along with french fries. Probably 7 good fries out of the bunch. No shrimp sauce only tartar. Coleslaw tasted rancid and did not eat. Won't see us again. read more

I went there for the first time last Thursday. I really enjoyed it my server bartender was great fun and makes great drinks. Her name was Shannon . The food was very good the onion rings were cooked perfect and the blt had real bacon and great prices too. It was a fun little spot gpod music and down home feel . read more

Stopped here the other night after dinner. Didn't eat anything, so this isn't a food review. For a bar, it's an okay place to go. We had been to the old location and this one far exceeds that location at least in cleanliness. The drinks were strong and delivered quickly. The prices are lower than most places I have visited. The bartender was polite and had service with a smile. High marks for the bar area. We played some kind of a bowling game that was fun for all four of us. The bar has a pool table that was in use the whole time. There was a DJ standing in the corner turning some really terrible tunes with K-Mart disco lights spinning around. That was a bit of a detraction to the bar overall. read more

Staff is very friendly, music and atmosphere good. Was not impressed with wings and fries. Come to drink.

Honestly I'm not impressed. The beer special is pretty good for a bucket of 5 beers for $10.00 and that made me happy but the food was a miss. The home made chips were ok but required ketchup to be able to eat them, the Philly cheese sandwich while good was quote lacking In the meat department. A good 1/3 of my sandwich was covered by a very small strip of meat. My dining companions also got a philly and an order of chicken strips. She ripped off 1/2 of the bread and threw it away so her sandwich would be meatier and she found a bone in with her sandwich while the little lady said she loved her chicken strips but wished they would have come with something else. Tldr; good strips decent beer special stay away from the Philly or you'll be hungry still. read more

I like it here! Attentive bar staff! Friendly people! Food is good, only had one bad experience here where my bartender was trashed. But every other time has been absolutely fabulous! read more

Great neighborhood bar. The staff is as fun as the patrons. It won't take long to fit right in with the regulars who are very welcoming. A very diverse crowd. Weekly food specials and great drink prices. The food may take a little bit longer than expected but it is worth it! Best wings around!! read more

DIVE DIVE DIVE... but the cleanest dive you have ever been too. Reasonable prices on beer, and all the dive accoutrements (darts, jukebox, pool). Service is ok if not very slightly above average. Friendly atmosphere 95% of the time. Some might go in and see the newly constructed bar, and not smell the stale beer and faint vomit aroma that customarily accompanies a dive. Blue willow... you're a dive. I don't care how much you mop or wipe stuff down. You're a dive at heart, and that's a good thing. I'll see you after work! read more

Great bar. Went for dinner with my husband. Sat at the bar. I got an order of the mild garlic wings, they were really good. Husband had a burger. The menu is nothing special, your standard bar food. Miller Light and Bug Light were on sale $2.00 for a tall, which is obviously a great deal. Someone else made the comment that this is a clean dive bar, I agree. The bartender was also friendly and the service was good. read more

This spot is not bad. It is right by the freeway and is a hide-a-way. Pleasant people and drinks ok. It is a nice spot to get away.

Good drinks. Decent food. Good prices. Waitress disappeared for 40 minutes. Almost walked out on check because we didn't know where she was. Drinks sat empty for 30 minutes. read more

This is A Very happening place!!!!! The staff efficient.... Food excellent.... Service great and the patrons are friendly and nice

All I will say is that you can tell by the photos that this place is not well known for its food...

Ordered the wings(Cajun and mild garlic parm) for dinner and they were delicious. Best wings I have had in a long time. The service was good. Will definitely go back again, highly recommend this place!! read more

The burgers and wings are great! The service is nice but soooo slow!! My husband and I stopped for a beer and dinner before going to the movies. We got there at 615, thinking that would allow us plenty of time to eat before the 7:40 show. We didn't get our food till almost 7:15!! At that point we had to chow it down which was disappointing. read more

Happy hour $2 tall domestic drafts and great wings! The crowd is friendly and there is great music- almost every night the bar is hopping! The bartenders are friendly and experienced and the atmosphere is fun and relaxed. read more

I'm from out of town. A local coworker suggested this place. I had a burger and more beers than I'd like to admit. It's low key with great patrons. I didn't catch the bartenders name but she was sweet. If you like local dives, this is the place read more

Have been going here since 2002. Great people behind the bar. Food is always good. Great wings and burgers. Kim & Nikki (?) make this a fun place to eat & drink at. read more
