If you're looking for cheap drinks this is it. Id call this place a local hangout for the townies for sure. Subtle touches like cans of roach spray behind the bar, a bathroom that literally was 85 degrees. Add some sloppy people and average food and that's fanatics. read more

Can't recommend this place enough! They take great care of us whenever we're playing we play here on tour.

Wow. You're kidding me. Great place. Lots of food choices. And specials. Wonderful find. Oh and cold beer.

Amazing intimate place to see live music. I recommend the Buffalo chicken salad. Been there a dozen times. The owner is a gem! Lima is super lucky to have Fanatics. read more

The food was good- just bar food but good. Our waiter was helpful and quick. They have live music frequently ( this Sunday there was a band). Not huge inside so I imagine it gets a little crazy when bigger bands are there. I wouldn't go out of my way to go there but if I am in Lima, I would definitely stop in for a brew. read more

I was invited to attend a concert at Fanatics in Lima, NY, to see the Jazz group, The Howard Levy 4. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted very warmly by Norm and a few other regular customers. We arrived early to have a meal. We had chicken wings, two "garbage plates, and the beef and cheddar sandwich. We were all very pleased with our meals, which arrived timely and hot. The bar provides top shelf drinks as well. The live music is played in the back where there is ample seating. To see the bands, you buy tickets and have assigned seating. You can also order food and drinks in here as well. My husband the fried zucchini with ranch, which he enjoyed. I opted for the decadent and very sweet, snicker peanut butter pie with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and drizzled with chocolate. Delish! Fanatics reminds me of a "cheers" bar where everyone seems to know your name. Fanatics is a gem in this village of Lima! read more

This was my first time at Fanatic's and it went like this...First off there's plenty of off street parking and easy entrance with a ramp inside for the impaired folks...Now on to the food...I ordered a chicken finger and fries meal and a IPA beer on tap...The beer arrived cold as ice and then the food...Well the chicken fingers were okay I guess, although nothing more than frozen bagged stuff...The sauce was also just okay, like many other pubs...The fries were very dark and oily...The room was cozy with a sort of old school vibe of years gone by...The walls adorned with various acts who have graced the stage over the years...The bill for chicken fingers and two IPA's + tax + tip was around $35.00 give or take...All in all not a bad place for a meal, but nothing I'm rushing back for anytime soon...Give em a try for yourself whenever you're in Lima NY. read more

Ordered here for the first time and all the food was excellent. I got take out, but being inside I noticed a great atmosphere and good crowd. read more

This place is an underrated gem!! Their wings (with their signature Fanatic's sauce--a blend of Buffalo and country sweet) are my family's favorite!! They are plump, juicy, with the perfect blend of sweet & savory! The staff are always incredibly friendly and their weekly trivia nite every Wednesday is highly recommended for the entertainment value alone! read more

Fanatics brings amazing musicians in to a small town atmosphere. I've always had a great time there!

Absolutely the best live Blues artists in Western NY. Nice place for a drink and dinner too. read more

Walking in, we were greeted with a warm friendly smile from Tara our bartender. She was efficient, knowledgeable and attentive. After spending only a few hours here, it was evident that this is the kind of establishment that makes everyone feel welcome. Regulars were greeted by name and everyone entering was happy to spend a few hours enjoying some refreshing pints, delicious food and the company of people who very much felt like that were at a home away from home. Big screen tvs were available to watch games along with quick draw for those looking to gamble a bit! Overall, I would recommend this wonderful little gem to anyone looking for a good time with great people! read more

Wouldn't kick out disruptive patrons. Recently went here to see my favorite band, The Cold Stares. I love them! But there were three tables surrounding us that were all one party and talked and even shouted over the music to each other. They wouldn't stop and when I complained to mgmt they claimed they couldn't kick them out because there were too many of them. One guy was even pinching and slapping other people on the butt. It was disturbing to say the least. Hot take: You can kick out that many people but you chose not to. You chose to have your establishment favor rowdy disruptive patrons over people who paid to be there to see the band. Couldn't hear the band or concentrate on the songs, mostly heard them. read more

This place is the best The music is off the wall would never expect this kind of music and food from a sports bar To me this is not a sports bar it's a classy restaurant The locals are awesome Pub wings Beef on wick Specials all the time You have to try this place Mark & Jennifer Foodie read more

Stopped for a Fish Fry on a Friday afternoon. Since I don't get to this area of the country much anymore, I make it a point to get a good Beer Battered Haddock Fish Fry, one that hangs off the ends of the plates, every time I visit the area, and it's a Friday. Fanatics did not disappoint in that regard. Let's keep in mind, this is an unpretentious bar/pizza parlor that offers a full menu, and on Fridays, also offers that delicious fish! By no means is this fish fry "bar food," do not make that mistake. Lottery tickets are also sold here along with what seems like a legal gambling service. There are a few places in the area that do a better fish fry, but regardless, I am a fan. The place isn't perfect, it's not the best of the best IMHO, it's worth a visit. Pros: Awesome fish fry Friendly service Cons: lemonade tastes like "instant" Listening to people around us trying to act like horse bookies read more

Fanatics is not accepting the coupons in the SaveAround book and claim they didn't authorize their restaurant being in the book. I contacted SaveAround and they actually have a LEGAL, SIGNED agreement for Fanatics and stated Fanatics should be honoring the coupons per this agreement. read more

It's got that sports bar/ country tavern/ Irish pub kinda vibe! We went for "Open Mic night" which happens, usually, 2 Mondays a month. The room gets pretty "cozy" because the place is small and fills up quickly, but we still found seats. No fancy decor. Last night there were guitar players, a variety of styles, some harmonica, some cover tunes and even some pretty good original tunes. Really, anyone is welcome to sign up on the clipboard to play 2 songs. It's a warm and friendly place and everyone gets a warm reception. George does a great job managing Open Mic, and the bartender was awesome (I don't know how she managed solo with such a crowd). Nice selection of draft beers, $6.25 a beer. We had Shock Top, Young Lion IPA and The Kind IPA. Not much variety in wine, but beer goes better with fresh cut homemade fries anyway (delish!). Yes, if you order nothing else, get an order of these super hot, "large spirals" of yum! It's not around the corner from us, but it's a lovely drive through the country to get to this casual, relaxed pub read more

Fanatics has really good food and drink. Jim the owner is awesome. Love getting to sneak away here. And they kill at the crossroads fest! It wouldn't be nearly as great without Fanatics! read more

Fanatics has a great bartender and wait staff. The food is good, and they make sure they are paying attention to you.

Got a 3 inch piece of celery with my boneless wings with leaves on it. I call it "kitchen scraps". Complained and got banned for doing it. Not the same place anymore. It used to be a great place to go but this kind of treatment for a steady customer is outrageous. read more

Worst service I have ever had in a restaurant. My wife and I are lifelong residents of Lima and decided to try this restaurant. The hostess seated us at the bar table section since the private party in the back room was reserved. We were sit at a table with menus and we sat there 15-20 minutes and no service. We got up and left and will never go back. We will be sure to tell everyone we know in Lima the poor service we had. read more

Wow are the specialty pizzas amazing. You get a discount if you take out and they have daily specials. Haven't tried much other than the drinks and pizza. Great bar and bar food too. Yummy!!!! read more

If you enjoy thin crust pizza or pizza where the toppings outweigh the crust look no further. Many specialty pizzas and now in two sizes. A casual bar and dining area and frequent live music make this a destination in this small town. If I'm within 50 miles and craving quality pizza I will make the trip. read more

First time patron, had the "Texas Fish Fry"... probably the best fish fry I've ever had. Big piece of haddock, seasoned to perfection. Side Winder Frys are a treat too. Great service, varied menu, nice small venue for music & dining. I'm anxious to try the Mac & Cheese... lots of choices there. Next time. read more

Arrived at the restaurant and sat there for 15 minutes. Not one person acknowledged us. Two waitress working and there was only about 4 other tables in the restaurant. The two waitress walked right by us not even telling us they would be right with us, not a word from them. We left and will not return and we will share our horrible experience with everyone we know. read more

The food was amazing when it was pastaria. Cathy and Kate are great bartenders. Tara is a great server. Kind of a weird vibe. Place seems to be busy but not as busy as it once was. They have great bands !!! Wish they would do more karaoke! read more

This place has great food. Tasty and there's so many different choices. Some of the staff was super sweet and helpful however others were not. read more

when this first opened as Pastaria, the food was great, except on the days they bought Sausage, or frozen chicken fingers from the Save-a-Lot store behind the restaurant since then, no so good, as they say at the chinese laundry I don't know if the cook quit, or what, but Jim, you can do better last lunch I had there came with instant mashed potatoes ... INSTANT ..?? c'mon the fish fry is now the only decent meal, tho it's a bit skimpy I'd rather pay a dollar, or two more for a better sized piece i would try the prime rib, but 8oz for $16 ...?? read more

When passing through town, I enjoy stopping in. I miss the old Menu, but the burgers are great. Great music on weekends. Not thrilled with the families that bring kids in and let them hang at the bar...... they really should be back in the dining room. read more

They have a excellent fish fry. Always comes. Hot and crispy. I would recommend it. Service is always good
