Mad Anthony's: A Dive Bar That Feels Like Home…read more Walking into Mad Anthony's feels like slipping into your favorite flannel shirt--warm, familiar, and a little rough around the edges, but in the best way. It's a dive bar that knows exactly what it is, and it leans into it unapologetically. The beer is cheap, cold, and endless, just the way nature intended. The regulars are the kind of people who will call you "buddy" before they even know your name, and by the end of the night, you might just have a nickname you didn't ask for but secretly love. The building itself is historic, though no one's quite sure how old it actually is--just old enough to have stories, and maybe a few ghosts, if you believe the guy on the corner stool. The crooked pool table in the back adds a layer of excitement (or frustration) to your game, and the food situation? Let's just say they've perfected the fine art of the toaster oven. A hotdog or frozen pizza has never tasted better, especially when served with the kind of charm only a dive bar can muster. And then there's the bathroom. This is where Mad Anthony's truly shines. They've cracked the code to dive-bar bathroom management by making sure the urinals are always packed with ice. It's a quirky, borderline genius trick that keeps the place from smelling like regret, and honestly, it's a level of thoughtfulness you wouldn't expect but deeply appreciate. The lighting is dark, but not "what-did-I-just-sit-on" dark--just enough to make everyone look a little cooler and keep the vibe cozy. Mad Anthony's doesn't try to impress, and that's exactly why it does. It's imperfect in all the right ways, and if you're looking for a bar that feels like an old friend, this is the place.

I love restaurants that serve brunch, and this place goes above and beyond. This time it was not disappointing. The food was delicious and the server was fantastic. Super friendly and super knowledgeable. The food came out to order and was easy to make accommodations for. It's really nice that this place is also family friendly and has vegan/vegetarian options. The restaurant itself is clean and it's nice to be able to look out the windows and the people making the pizzas. It's a good lay out and a good amount of seating without being too big or too small. Theres also an entrance/exit from the front and an entrance/exit to the patio and back parking lot.

I will say every time before this time, I was always impressed with the service and food. This time they had a Harry Potter themed cocktail list. We all know I love a good cocktail menu, and Harry Potter themed? How could we go wrong? I ordered the Harry Potter flight and was wowed by all the different flavors. One had frangelico in it and I was really wowed by the flavor. All of them were delicious! We ordered the feta dip, baked Brie and the meatballs to all share. They were all absolutely delicious! It's a wine bar and known for their cheese, but I have to say the meatballs were dynamite. Isaiah was our water and he was quick and very nice. I'm excited for the new GM as he gets more people coming back and excited about their new themes and events.

I've only been to the Downtown Perrysburg location but have been impressed every time. They have a good variety of beers on tap that they make including some rotating seasonal selections. Not a beer drinker? They also have a full bar with specialty cocktails, wine, and NA options. I've stopped in a couple of times for a casual drink at the bar or to enjoy on their amazing summer patio area. They often have events like live music to enjoy so keep an eye out! This visit, I stopped in for brunch with friends. Their menu is smaller but has good variety and is priced well. I got the Biscuits & Gravy which had a handful of biscuits sauced in their house made gravy and topped with fluffy eggs. Delicious! My friend got the Chicken Salad Sliders which came with 3 pretzel bun sliders filled with yummy egg salad and a side option. He chose their chips which were tasty. My husband got the Chicken & Waffles. This was the most expensive but smallest portion. The sandwich itself was good and comes with a side but side options aren't listed on the menu. The entree was served on a large plate and simply looked small in size. Flavors were good but it left room for more food. Overall, this is a great, easy food and drink spot in Perrysburg. They offer their beers on tap but also some are canned for purchase in the to-go fridge. Stop out in the summer to enjoy their prime season and get a DORA cup to enjoy while walking around Downtown Perrysburg!

We have to wait an hr for our food but you hurry up and get us out of here! Duly noted! I DO NOT recommend anyone of color to patronize this establishment. You will definitely get treated like you're second class.

We arrived at 4:00 to be told that they couldn't seat us until 4:30. There were only two other couples in the entire place. We waited at the bar and the three of the four of us ordered drinks. I wanted a coffee and was told that there is no coffee in the building. So I asked about the expresso martini and what is in it. I was told the run down and it had a shot of expresso. So I ordered a shot of expresso minus the liquor. The bar tender seemed to get a bit of an attitude from that. We did get seated and placed our order for appetizers and then food. From the time we placed orders it took over an hour. Waters filled once and it took over 25 min for one of the drinks to come to us. It is sad to have this experience because we come here to visit friends every year and have always enjoyed this restaurant as per my previous posts. It's is hard to write a bad review but I feel it is important to be honest with every visit. The food was good and many times that can make up for a lot.

They are known for their woodfire pizzas but also have so many other amazing food options. They also have a full bar offering seasonal cocktails, local beers on tap, and wines.

I had to order their Meatball Pizza as it's a favorite of mine! The fresh Ricotta and Meatball chunks play nicely off each other. They make their ranch in house so I also always order a side of it to dip my pizza in. My husband got the Melty Mozzarella Sandwich after hearing their soup of the day was tomato bisque. I liked that the sandwich came with more elements than just bread and cheese to freshen it up. Overall, this is a prime spot to visit when in Perrysburg! Their food and service never disappoint and I love the consistency they always offer.
