    Grape Bomb
    Chrishawn B.

    Came here after dinner to listen to the live band and get drinks. Band was great. Weather was perfect for it. My grape bomb was amazing!! I could drink a ton of them!! So good!! It was very packed. We had to stand outside for a while til a table opened up. We loved being at an outside table. My husband did go over to the bbq food truck to see what they had and she gave him a sample of their pulled pork. It was amazing!! Definitely will be back!

    ROCK N ROLLS, amazing food. I got the and it was phenomenal. The flavor was off the charts and you gotta experience it for yourself. Fries had perfect Cajun seasoning. The amount of food is definitely with the price and a visit. Gf - it was really good

    Food truck menu.

    Summary: This food truck park combines several "permanent," or long-term, food trucks and a fixed indoor bar around a park-like courtyard. The bar is in a 160+ year old, heavily renovated building that retains charm while offering comfortable, modern amenities like couches and TVs for sports enthusiasts. Just feet away are food trucks offering various entrees. On a mid-weeknight the courtyard was busy with patrons enjoying food and drink around fire pits, playing cornhole, or just relaxing. That night they could choose from BBQ, wraps and sandwiches, or Mac and cheese small plates from the three "permanent " food trucks. Co-owners Dave and Emily said they have space for up to three more trucks. With pride, they took quite a bit of time to show us around and explain their renovations. HUB opened in October but already looks like a perfectly created concept that should benefit from Hamilton's downtown resurgence.

    Ohhh this place is fun. They have a large outdoor turf area.... Beer selection is really good. Soooo grab a craft beer or a Bud of Miller.. let the kids run around.... Have a couple more beers and hang out! They have parking but it's limited so there is street parking also.

    Food from Burger 12-27 the full time food truck at Hamilton's Urban Backyard.

    Wonderful atmosphere to grab a beer and dinner. The bartenders and great food trucks as well.

    Great food, drinks and super nice staff. We had a perfect fall day to top it off- the sandwiches were huge.

    Fun! Good clean fun - and a bar to boot. This is a happy place…read more I love an arcade and this one is excellent, with three dozen or more pinball tables along with a Ms Pac Man, target shooting game, punching bag game & some other retro stuff. No Defender, sadly, but I'll make a request on my next visit. Paying for the games is done 21st Century style, with a magic card that you tap on the machine and it takes the credits you've paid for. Easy to reload your card either at the bar or a handy self-service kiosk. Speaking of the bar they have many many beers on tap. Hot food (sandwiches, spaghetti bowls, wings) is available too. I can't comment on the food as we didn't eat here but I came for the games, man. The big back room has table seating and features lots of kiddie games plus claw machines. I saw some really attractive prizes but the machine was a bit costly so observe the amount of credits before you tap. In a brilliant move there is also a row of pinball back there, so the whole family can find something to enjoy and keep the kiddies out of the bar. There is plenty of parking, most of it free on the street or in the parking lot opposite the outdoor seating area. It was great to get my hands on a pinball game and also play Pac-Man! I hope to return soon.

    We were in town for the weekend, and just had dinner around the corner. Restaurant staff…read morerecommended we come here for some entertainment, and we are so glad we did! We had a ball checking out all the vintage pinball machines, and we played a few games. There are multiple rooms full of a variety of different games, including claw games and all sorts of other arcade games. It was fun checking everything out and killing some time.

    The Lucky Well - Burger on GF Bun w/half house salad.

    My wife, myself and another couple decided to go out Friday evening. They had never been to The…read moreLucky Well before but my wife and I had. Probably didn't do a review the first time as it was a family gathering and I was preoccupied. This visit, we opted to sit outside, in front. It was pleasant enough temperature wise, but it's very close to the main street and when some vehicle with loud engine or muffler came by, well, didn't help with conversations. Ok, waitress came out and friendly greeting, took our drink order. Came back in a short while and took our order, then was right back with our beverages. She was very good about checking in on us every so often. Gotta say, they have one of the best Espresso martinis I've had. And a wide variety of bourbon, too. On to dinner. I ordered a Burger that came with lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese, pickle and their special sauce. The burger itself was good, honestly, I've had better but that was at a place specializing in burgers. It came with their "chips" which are thin cross-cut fries that were actually quite good. Also ordered a 1/2 ceasar salad, it was a typical Caesar salad. My wife ordered the Shepard pie, she really liked it and it was large enough for her to eat only half and bring the other half home. The other gentleman in our group ordered the fish sandwich with side salad . It was a pretty big piece of fish and he said it was good. So, as I mentioned earlier, my wife and I had been there before and we will probably go again, this time I'll get the shepherds pie and try the hot honey carrots that sound good!

    Loved it. Much more of a restaurant than a pub. Very spacious, classy Irish themed wall decor…read more Nice big bar. Service was very good, questions answered and recommendations made. Unique and interesting cocktail list, I had the "Well Water" which was fresh light and tasty but potent. My husband had the red blend wine and liked it a lot. Food was fabulously delicious, nicely presented, and very generous portions. One of the best Shepherds Pies ever, and those corned beef egg rolls were loaded with fillings. They could be a meal in themselves. An unexpected salad accompanied the Shepherds Pie, dressed with a creamy Malt Vinegar dressing- wow! Never had anything quite like it. One thing I found odd was the absence of salt and pepper and any condiments at all. I probably could have used a bit of HP Sauce or similar on the bangers, but everything was so good and there was so much we just fell to and really didn't miss it. Our waitress did not miss a beat in having our leftovers neatly wrapped up for us. This is located at the dead end of Monument Avenue right by the Log Cabin and Soldiers Monument so you can enjoy some history. Plenty of parking including disabled spots but you do have to walk around the corner for the entrance. Needless to say, we will be back! Highly recommended.

    Take yourself out on your own darn date. Why not?…read more You deserve it. And when you do..... Order the Pink Starburst for 10 buckeroos. A steal. It's pretty and pink and glows. Second choice was an expressotini. The crab rangoons for 6 bucks are a steal. Who can't resist crispy fried filled puffs filled with cream cheese ? Not this girl. Then I took Anthony's suggestion and went with a coconut spaghetti. If you're wondering what that is...... It's flippin fabulous. It's mandarin egg noodles tossed with shrimp, vegetables, in a savory brown sauce. Sold. The curiosity alone was enough to order it. Now on to the ambience. 9.5 outta 10. The music is in the background and not too loud to not hear the conversations your eavesdropping on in the next booth. And any place you go and hear Fleetwood Mac is a plus. The bar has a cool vibe and you don't have to break the bank. And!!! best part yet, there are books all around the place to read if you get bored or have a boring date. And Lori is such a darn hard worker with a smile a great hair. And thankfully, they do Apple Pay.

    Excellent, excellent, excellent. We came for an early dinner and got a spot out front (25c for 30…read moreminutes, free after 5 PM). We sat in a very comfortable 2-person booth. Our waitress was Sheridan and she provided absolutely superb service. Major shout-out. They didn't have the beer my husband ordered so she took the initiative to return to the table with two samples of similar beer for him to try. She answered all our questions and made appropriate recommendations. We were checked on often enough, a soda refill appeared without my asking, and she neatly boxed up our leftovers. She was pleasant and kind and one of the best servers ever. Very classy decor here; subtle touches of the orient; wood, leather, and...books! And a very elegant bar. Motown music was playing, and festive but not excessive Christmas decorations were up. And yes, a fortune cat was there to greet us. Food arrived quickly. We had the Thai Dumplings app which was just enough for two to whet the appetite. It was tangy and peanutty and the cool cucumber slices a perfect contrast. My husband had the Green Mango Grouper and loved it. I had a taste and it was fantastic, fresh white fish and delectable toppings, spice level 2 was just right. I tasted it and agreed it was excellent and right then we made plans to return. I had Siam Curry with chicken. Full of flavor and wonderful vegetables especially the snow peas. Spice level 3 is described as Thai Spicy and they are not kidding. They do not wimp out on the spice here so use caution. (For example at Thai Thara in Richmond Indiana I go with 5 of 5 and I still need to add some spice.) Sheridan brought extra chili oil if needed. I would recommend erring on the side of lower spice with the option to add. We took home an order of Singapore Noodles to share for supper tomorrow along with our leftovers. I snuck a taste before putting it away and it's delicious! Looking forward to another visit soon and I think I'll try one of their cocktails. Highly recommended!
