    Beer me!
    Steve S.

    What a great place. Tons of beer on tap to choose from! We had a pale ale from Lock 27 - great beer! We also had a charcuterie board with herb goat cheese, manchego cheese, nice olives, pepperoni, fig jam, 4 kinds of crackers, prosciutto ham and stone ground mustard. It was all great! As Arnold said, 'I'll be back!'

    September 20, 2020 Finally a brewery in Tipp City! This place is across from Harrison's on 2nd Street situated in the historic part of Tipp in the Chaffee's Opera House building from 1867. Their mission is to provide patrons with craft beer, cocktails, wine, and mocktails in an inviting and completely renovated space, which they managed to do. This isn't a large pub so it won't accommodate large parties but if you want to take yourself and a few friends, this makes a great spot to soak in the history at a bar which is built with wood sourced directly from a family farm. The large caulk board has the list of drinks. There is also a paper menu of the draft list. According to their website this pub "...combines Lisa's love of mixology and wine with Shawn's knowledge of beer and draft systems. As the owner of Miami Valley Draft Systems, Shawn meticulously designed and installed our 18 tap system. This system showcases 12 beers on tap with an emphasis on Ohio breweries. There will be four wines offered on tap, including two reds and two whites. The remaining two taps will be include a seltzer offering and a "mocktail" that can be served as is or can be used as mixers enhanced by our full bar of liquors - also with an emphasis on Ohio distilleries." Perhaps they will carry their own label at some point in the future but that isn't in the immediate plans. In the mean time enjoy a nice drink before dinner or lunch at this epic establishment.

    Location: 15 S Second Street, Tipp City Ohio Parking: free street parking and public parking lots within 1-2 blocks (easily walkable) Price: moderate Social distancing: good practices, clean and easy to maintain distance as long as it's not too crowded Specialty: drinks, limited food menu but really interesting charcuterie 'make your own board' option. Chaffees Brewhouse is a new business in downtown Tipp City offering a nice spot in the downtown area to enjoy a cocktail, wine, or one of a dozen draft selections. We stopped in on a Thursday night and enjoyed two beers each, which sounds easier than it is. The selection is a well-chosen variety of flavorful beers, ranging from IPA to stouts. Something (or 3-4 things) for everyone. With the help of a sample, we each chose our second round and enjoyed everything... makes me want to go back and try a few more, though. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, also effortlessly sanitizing the space in between clients. There are four distinct seating areas, including an outdoor patio accessed from the back interior door or the side alley. Nestled into a historic space, the newly renovated space is very charming and well-appointed. Seating is comfortable and spaced well.

    Quaint local bar with craft brews and cocktails. Small and cozy, locals were friendly and they use a lot of Ohio made spirits and brews.

    A true diamond in the rough...this wine bar and eatery is located in one of the ancient former…read moreindustrial buildings of the Depot District. But don't hesitate to get in here, just watch your step a bit. It's dim and romantic with a retro vibe. We ate at the bar which always tends to give a good feel for a new place. There were two barmaids who came and went as they had to serve tables too, but service was quite attentive. We were primarily served by Melissa (I hope I remembered her name right!) and she was so helpful with answering questions. We happened to come on the half price app day** so naturally we tried the Breaking Bread... incredible, easily sufficient for four people to share. It was warm, soft, cheesy and full of flavor. The marinara was delicious as was the blended cheese dip. We took half home and enjoyed it the next day. My husband had the smoked salmon sandwich. It was beautiful to behold, smelled so delectable, and off the charts delicious. After I took a bite I was jealous. I did thoroughly enjoy my BLT+E with a wonderful runny egg and thick fresh tomato. I think I would have liked it better on toasted bread vs. the bun. Everything on the menu sounded good. I had a peek at the brunch menu too. I had a cocktail called the Farm Market which was so refreshing and like a taste of summer which I needed badly on this bitter cold evening. They have a great cocktail list and of course an extensive wine list which is set up in unique categories and fun to read. My husband was happy with his wine. They also have port! Four kinds! Melissa kindly gave me a taste of one and I am SO coming back for a port flight. A word on accessibility- the main entrance has two steps up and there are sturdy grab bars on both sides but you do need to be a bit cautious at the bottom. I was told there is a rear or side entry that is wheelchair accessible. It was way too cold to explore but I'll check it out on our next visit in the very near future. If you're thinking of giving the Cork a try, don't hesitate. It's fabulous. **Yelp advises they are removing Tips (boo) so I'll note again here that apps are half price all night on Thursdays.

    The Cordial Cork is coming up in my opinion. In the past they struggled with service and food…read moreconsistency, but the last ten times I've been over the last two years, the consistency problems have vanished. Best cocktails in town. Not that there is any real competition. Best wine in town, also, no competition. The menu is enticing, offering real New American recipes. The execution and ingredients aren't all super fresh or fancy, but the fundamentals are there. I'm not a fan of their taco tuesday... just not great tacos. Almost all the apps are great though. The Burgers are fairly good. If i was judging the food quality alone, it'd be like 3 stars. But the menu offerings, the drinks, the atmosphere, and the service are all boosting the overall experience. The atmosphere is lovely in a historic general store with antique shelves and woodwork. Often live piano music on the weekends.

    This review is strictly about their event room rental. We just had a baby shower there and it was…read moreless than ideal to put it nicely. They stated they had air conditioning upon reserving the room, they may have one mini split hanging on the wall but it makes 0 difference in the summer. I, 7 months pregnant was beyond uncomfortable and my guests were also very uncomfortable. We had to bring our own fans to the event to get some relief. Another thing, when we were setting up we asked to fill up our water pitcher and the staff working told us no, we couldn't use their tap water.. so someone had to go panic buy jugs of water at the store right before the party started. Would NOT recommending renting this room in the summer time unless you want to have an event in a room that feels like a sauna.

    Where do I begin!? Love this place! Fresh breath of air for Indian lake & total hidden gem…read more 1) it's a wine bar 2) it's a driving range What a perfect combo! Place is super cute and the wine bar is set up like most. You walk in, they have lots of seating, they have a gift shop, a bar tasting area, and an outdoor area. We tried all the available whites by the glass. The Pinot Blanc was our favorite. So much so we ordered a bottle to go. The Riesling and rose were a close second favorite. Chardonnay was good too but it's buttery so maybe better suited (for me) in the colder season. Today was a hot day out. Ohhhh and the chocolate red wine tasted like a tootsie roll pop! So here's the deal- you can order flights of wine for $12 or you can create your own 1 ounce flight tastings for $1 each pour. We did the white flight and then ordered our 1 ounce pours of the other whites. Food- we had the chocolate, the small cheese board (not small, but a good serving size), and the hummus. Manager- my only recommendations: 1) Hummus app- use real cut carrots. Not the processed baby carrots 2) Sauvignon Blanc- use the one from New Zealand for the flight tasting. You'll get more likes Love the place overall and if I lived in the area I'd be back more often!

    Not sure how to best represent our experience. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't great and it seemed…read morea bit pricey for what we got. I think we spent $70 with a tip and that was for 3 people. No Alcohol. One soda and 3 entrees and an appetizer. Again, the food wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing. I posted pics of what we got. The shrimp po boy was probably the most disappointing. Don't get me wrong...loaded with shrimp but just your pre-made shrimp, fried and served. My Rasta pasta was really good. Plentiful and heat was just right. The little piece of bread tasted like it may have been a bit out of date. The jerk cheesesteak was good and good flavor. Fries were my favorite. Had a bit of the coating on them and crunchy and just really tasty. Appetizer of fried ochre was 10 out of 10. Portion size was generous and they came out smoking hot and tasted great. Dining room was a bit odd...like a 60's jazz bar. Music was loud for the amount of people there. We were seated by one person who told us they would be serving us and then another guy came and told us he would be taking care of us. Seems like it may be a "whoever gets to the table first and takes an order gets the table". It was an odd exchange when the girl who seated us came back only for us to say some guy already took our drink order. Unclear as to who was supposed to do what but that made things a little weird. I would be willing to go back but my wife wasn't impressed so I don't know as we will return. We wanted to try it as we had heard great things but now that we have, not sure we need to go back. Food wasn't awful, something just left an odd taste with us and our experience.

    Food was great! Service was outstanding…read more Ambience was really good especially for our larger party (10 of us). Background noise was low and we were able to have conversations without having to raise our voices. Highly recommend the Old fashioned cocktail
