Hotdog with relish and mustard
Gerald M.

We have been wanting to try this place since it changed owners/names. Stopped by on a Friday night. The place was a little busy, but still had some open tables. The service was great. The atmosphere was your typical bar scene. Pool tables, dart boards, a couple games, and jukebox. We started with the spinach dip with tortilla chips, then onto a Chicago style hot dog, hotdog, and cheeseburger. For drinks, we had a few beers, great to find a place with Guinness on tap, even tried the gummy bear slushy drink. Everything was great. We will definitely be back. Hope others will give it a try.

Misty the owner was thee most welcoming person! We walked in and were immediately welcomed with a friendly smile and great conversation! She really made us feel like family! 10 out of 10 would recommend if you like a family feel dive bar!

Condescending "Owner"

Very unprofessional experience. Another customer mocked my mom and me, and instead of handling that, the owner came over condescendingly asking "what's your problem?" As we left, she even flipped me off with a smile. Another regular tried to step in, and she attempted to convince him to "her side." Not the way any old lady should treat others.

I don't normally venture out to New local bars... but my wife and I were out on a date night and dinner ended early but we weren't ready to head home yet why waste a good face of makeup...lol So I yelped bars near me and Hollyrock was like 1.6 miles a away! So as we pulled up we were a little nervous because lets be real all spaces are not lbgtq+ or poc friendly... be mutually decided we'll have one drink and leave if it's not a vibe! Welp 10 drinks later (collectively...lol) we were still there my wife was enjoying they game and everyone was nice. There were pool tables and I think a jukebox the bartender Josh was really nice and poured good drinks my wife had like a chocolate martini and it was really good I had skittles shots all night which were also really good! All and all it was a nice end to the night!

I love me some Hanratty's. Drinks are always strong and everyone who works there is super nice. Low key dive bar at its best.

A good old-fashion bar. Good find! The Guinness tasted just like it is supposed to taste and the price wasn't out of line!

Allowed them to hold my debit card here last night, and had $883 taken from my account today. I wonder if there's a connection.

If you are looking for a good dive bar this is the place. Dave says it has a "family atmosphere". Ryan says we saw marshawn lynch.

What's the protocol on football Saturday (OSU)? How busy does it get? Table availability etc?

I've been there for OSU games. You can almost always find a table, although the place fills up. They usually have good drink specials and a ton of Ohio State fans. Great service.

If you're in the mood for a dive bar with decades-old personality, bikini Lounge is just that spot…read more This tiki themed drinking hole has several generations of patrons. Service is always solid and the beer is cold.

What an unexpectedly fun night!…read more I honestly had no idea what I was walking into when a friend told me I had to check out Bikini Lounge because they know I'm drawn to all things eclectic. They were absolutely right. From the moment the friendly bouncer smiled and said, "Step right on in," I was hooked. Yoooow!! The first DJ was incredible. He was spinning all kinds of trip-hop, indie, electronic, and remix-style tracks that had everybody partyin'. It wasn't your typical dance music, but every song seemed to connect with somebody in the room. The crowd was incredibly diverse, and it was so much fun watching people of every age and style dancing and nobody cared. The second DJ, a younger woman, shifted the vibe a bit and leaned more toward a younger crowd. It wasn't quite my style, so I took that opportunity to grab a seat at the bar and do what I apparently do best... chat with complete strangers. I'm a talker, and thankfully they seemed just as happy to strike up a conversation. This isn't some fancy cocktail lounge, and that's exactly the point. It's authentic. There were people dancing at the bar, grooving in their booths, bouncing in their seats, and filling the dance floor with great energy. I came by myself, and within minutes a cool group of strangers invited me to squeeze into their booth like we'd all come together. That's the kind of place this is. At one point they even offered me a glass of beer from their pitcher. I politely declined (look at me making responsible life choices... sometimes), but then I realized almost everyone had pitchers! So I sauntered over to the bar. I did have to wait a bit; apparently chivalry doesn't extend to letting a woman cut the line, but once I reached the bartender, the service was fast and friendly. Every trip back to the bar was the same. No complaints there. As the night went on, the energy just kept building. Before I knew it, I was on the dance floor sweating, smiling, and dancing with complete strangers. After a while, I had to retreat to the patio just to catch my breath before heading back in for more. My ankles are still sore... and the glutes? Fuhgetabouttit! The best part of the night wasn't the music or even the drinks. It was the people. Every generation was represented. Every fashion style imaginable. Every personality. And somehow it all worked. There was this genuine sense of joy and community that you just don't find everywhere. If you're looking for polished and upscale, this probably isn't your spot. But if you want great music, a welcoming crowd, zero pretension, and one of those nights where you leave happier than you arrived... give Bikini Lounge a shot. I went in not knowing what to expect. I left wondering why I'd waited so long to go.

The Oaxaca Asada- perfectly savory and balanced- wow. Pornstar Highball- crushable- all the flavors of a pornstar martini but so delicious and more approachable. Monsoon Season- spicy clarified mai tai- loved that you could specify the spice level. Garrett and Kenzey went above and beyond with service. I also got to try the strawberry fernet and Anna's play on a daiquiri and her exquisite bramble shot. Everything was thoughtful- balanced and above and beyond in the flavor department. It's nice to see this bar crank on a busy Saturday. I cannot wait to be back and try more cocktails.

It is the Halloween theme of Psycho Killer Cocktail Club pop-up. There were skeletons throughout, Barnes wire across the ceiling, a large screen showing an old movie, and the walls are covered in vintage posters. There is a pool table and an 8 screen TV showing old movies. We ordered a Crime of Passion and two Buried Alives. Both were good, especially the Buried Alive. Int was like boozy chocolate milk with Oreo cookie crumbs. Delish! It's did take a bit for someone to come to our table, and we watched people who came in after is get served before we even had sometime take our order. All in all, this is a great little place to hang out.

But, if you're looking for a really cool bar, KWSC is for you. I stopped by on a week day evening around 8:30 p.m. Located in Roosevelt Row, while there isn't parking, I found free parking on the street a few minutes away on foot. Ambiance (4.5/5): My type of spot. Dimly lit with a speakeasy vibe. There are eight or so seats at the bar, and the rest of your seating options consist of comfortable chairs and sofas. You'll see a lot of photos of people's bums on the walls lol. This is indeed part of the appeal. For free, if you would like, they will take a polaroid of your butt and memorialize you eternally on the walls. While I didn't do that, if that's up your alley, go for it. Service (2/5): This is the main area of improvement. After being seated, I was greeted promptly and got my first cocktail promptly. From there, things fell apart. I had to grab the bartender's attention to order my second drink and to close out. It was a week day and they weren't busy. And there were two bartenders. A lack of attentiveness. When I closed out, I noticed that the cocktails were both $2 more expensive than what was listed on the menu. When I inquired, I was told that the menus were outdated... umm what? If you're not going to re-print your menus, give people a heads-up when they arrive. I understand that most people won't notice, but this is deception. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet. If you're trying to eat here, all they have is snacks. The menu doesn't specify but I'm thinking it's probably chips or somethign like that. Drinks (4/5): A lengthy, and interesting, cocktail list. Similar to a speakeasy, you're going to see creativity and an interesting blend of flavors here. The most popular drink is Fuck Nazis. We're seeing a theme here. KWSC is an interesting spot. For various dollar amounts, you can get funny things outside of the polaroids of your bum. My first cocktail was great. My second one, a tiki drink, not so much. The menu said that there would be some flame action happening. It didn't. Just another example of the service falling short. If the service were better, Killer Whale Sex Club would easily be a five-star experience.
