Loved this place!!! Biggs bowls only $8 and the music and comedy piece was delightful! I would recommend this divey place for an awesome night with friends or lovers

Review is for the night of 12/15/18 Let me be clear, bars typically don't get 5-stars from me. This place made my night though. I made reservations online a week before with Matt. I was already impressed with his quick response to our reservation request. Cover charge was only $5 tonight which was nice. Take advantage of their buy one get one cover charge coupon on their website. That's a nice touch for a business to offer that. We arrived around 7:30 and there were already several tables filled up. We noticed that our reserved tables were a bit further from the stage than we wanted so I approached the bar and asked if we could be moved up. The staff immediately accommodated us and moved us up. The entertainment hadn't quite begun yet but there was music playing. The atmosphere is open and inviting. I like the large windows off the front of the room because you feel less cramped in here even at max capacity. Kerrigan was our waitress. Our drinks were never empty and every request was met with a friendly, speedy response. I highly recommend her if you're picky about your server. The entertainment was great. They're engaging, funny, and seemed to honor every song request. Prices are reasonable here. Hats off to the bar. Yes I had a waitress but I like to leave a thorough review and that means experiencing each area of an establishment. I kept a tab open at the bar for drinks I would order for the piano players. The bartenders kept up with the crowd and at no point did I feel like I was bothering them. Occasionally you'll get hot-head bartenders at these types of places who hate their life and every single patron at their bar. I think I counted 4 or 5 guys behind the bar each time I approached. I felt with a different one each time and they were all friendly and speedy. Ernie Biggs, you're doing something right. I don't know what it is, but keep it up. I'll make the hour-and a half drive more often for this kind of entertainment.

a war has begun, hahahaha...

This use to be our Thursday night hangout. Why not Friday or Saturday, you might ask yourself? BECAUSE IT'S TOO FLIPPIN CROWDED. That is the ONLY bad thing about the place. The Piano players and drummer are a lot of fun and usually can play just about anything you request. The bartenders work their ass off to try and get everyone served. If you don't like huge crowds, go on Thursday, if you don't crowds it is a VERY hopping place over the weekend.

If you're in the mood for pianos, it's the only piano bar in town so. Also, the artist very talented. I can play whatever cover you want.

Rude and inexperienced staff. So loud you can't even talk to the person next to you. Also have to listen to very vulgar piano players.

Hotel Vandivort - Rooftop view

Hotel Vandivort

(106 reviews)

Great location Nicely sized rooms and oversized shower…read moreAdequate fitness room Fun lobby bar Difficult to get to roof top venue. It is either closed for private events or no allowance for those under 21 (we have struck on 3 visits) Valet parking Springfield's only 4 star hotel.

I hadn't been to Springfield in years, so I asked a local where I should stay for a quick overnight…read moretrip. Without hesitation, he said, "You've got to try the Vandivort." I'm so glad I did. The moment I stepped into the stylish, contemporary lobby, I felt like I'd walked into a boutique hotel in SoHo. The design is chic, modern, and full of personality. I arrived early and was pleasantly surprised to get access to my room right away -- a spacious, beautifully appointed room on the fourth floor of the hotel's main building. (Tip: there's a second building across the alley in back, so if location matters to you, be sure to ask which one you're in.) My room was terrific -- upscale furnishings, high ceilings, and a bed so comfortable I wanted to bring it home with me. Great mattress, perfect pillows -- everything you hope for in a good night's sleep. As luck would have it, the hotel was celebrating its 10-year anniversary with a lobby reception just as I was heading out to a meeting. The place had a celebratory buzz. When I returned, I made a beeline to Vantage, the rooftop bar, for an Old Fashioned. They were out of Angel's Envy (my go-to), but the bartender made a solid one with Woodford Reserve. A quick evening shower made the rooftop a bit humid, so I headed downstairs to The Order, the hotel's lobby bar -- equally impressive, with a standout liquor selection and, yes, Angel's Envy in stock. Round two. The next morning, I hit their fitness room in the back building, followed by a run through downtown. Afterward, I grabbed a surprisingly good $10 breakfast burrito from the on-site café. My only real quibble: no complimentary coffee in the lobby. For a boutique hotel of this caliber, it's a small thing that would make a big difference. Overall, Hotel Vandivort delivered style, comfort, and a memorable experience. If you're heading to Springfield and want something with personality and polish -- stay here. Highly recommended.
