    The bar.
    Kimberly M.

    This place just oozes hip and cool. It's a small space but it's also no-nonsense. They serve beer. Period. It's got a really chill vibe and the folks behind the bar are all smiles, even when it's crazy crowded like it was when we were there. They happily waited while we tried to make our decision and even offered some great advice. This is a great spot to grab a beer with your friends, and it was a great start to our night out in OTR.

    First stop of the day, and just beer.....that its folks, only beer! I love the concept...simple, small, no-frills, local beers and laid back. I love the decor in here, the overall simplicity of this place is amazing. To me, there is no better kind of place to grab a brew. The small simple tables and few standing rails make for a very homey feel. If you are looking for a large roomy place, then this is not your place, but if you like a small no-nonsense place, get yourself on down here now! I love the different rotating local brews. That makes me and the boyfriend happy! The friendly staff gave us recommendations based on what we drink and what we like. You can also get a small sample to make sure you like before you buy a pint or a growler. They also serve flights, whooo hooo! Bonus - they have board games and Cards Against Humanity -say whaaaat! What's better than a little brew and Cards Against Humanity with friends! YES! This is also the meeting place for a couple of tours - Craft Connection and Pedal Wagon so you are bound to see a bunch of folks in here at any given time on the weekends. If you have not been here yet, get on down to Half Cut and grab a beer! PS...The White Rascal is delicious! Yummmm-o!

    Awesome Place! Great beer selection and convenient for a quick "walk by" growler fill or stop in for a few cold pints!

    Stumbled upon Ripple Wine Bar as my family and I had a long wait at a close by restaurant for our…read moredinner. We are all so glad we stopped in during our wait! First of all, we LOVED the Grateful Dead inspo reflected in the menu and decor. That in and of itself made us want to come back! We were already a little hungry but didn't want to spoil our appetites, as we were going to a birthday dinner, so we split the Mediterranean Plate. It was delicious and gone in seconds! It was the perfect dish to tide us over. Other plates looked delicious, as well! We will definitely have to come back to try more. My mom got the Scarlet Begonia while I got the Casey Jones. We loved our cocktails. They also have an extensive wine menu. I had a class of Gavi and it was great. It's nice that they had an N/A section on their drink menu too. We will definitely be back!

    Although I was pretty limited on what I could eat because most items had dairy.... The food that I…read moredid eat as well as the service I received, was excellent! We sat at the bar for dinner, during Restaurant week and decided to order a few items off the regular menu. The bartender Matt was great and extremely helpful. He answered all my questions about specific food items and also checked in with the Chef to make sure I could eat certain things. It is a very cute space, I did not go upstairs, but the bar area is very nice. We had the salmon with broccolini and roasted red peppers which was pretty good. We also had the hummus plate - the hummus and pita chips were good, although I didn't really like the quinoa only because it has a very heavy vinegar on it. I did not eat the pierogies because they have cheese in them, but my friend did and really loved them! It is street parking, so be mindful of that.

Described Moroccan inspired style. Their drink menu is very impressive! Nice wine and cocktail selection. All would pair well with your meals.

It was hard to choose my favorite. The oysters were fresh and shucked to perfection. The chickpeas were light and airy. The clams were amazing. Loved the sauce l! The octopus was also delish. Was not rubbery and melts in your mouth. Everyone raved about the lamb! I loved cous cous that came with it. Overall all the meals were unique and had great flavor. We had such a great experience. The service was really good and I can't wait to tell my friends. I can see us coming back.

Two in my party got the cheeseburgers and they were still mooing when they came out. Both asked to send them back to be cooked longer. Fries were amazing. I got the Beef Kafta and while, good, it just wasn't worth the price. I think my salad was literally 4 pieces of lettuce. Drinks were delectable though, so if you just want nice ambience and a drink, I think the bar would be fun. Service was odd. We asked 4 times for enough menus for the 6 of us, and we ended up with 1 menu to share? Then we got hit with a tip service fee of 30% for a large party. I left feeling I had an appetizer for dinner.
