Great place to catch your breath on a cold winter's day…read more The facility is fairly large but the actual indoor space is a little quaint. Would love to check it out in the warmer months with the large patio space outside. I appreciate that they offer up the IBU as well as the alcohol content as it is easier to determine which beers you are going to enjoy. They seem to have a decent selection. Food options are very limited. Service was pretty standard for a local brewery. I would like to return once the weather breaks.

The food was excellent, but the Square Potatoes served with beer cheese were the standout for us--we're still talking about them! The menu has plenty of options, and of course, you can pair your meal with one of Fretboard's craft beers. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Be sure to check out the rooftop space, which adds another fun element to the restaurant. Great food, great beer, friendly service, and a fantastic atmosphere made Fretboard a memorable part of our Hamilton getaway. We would definitely return!

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!

The bartender was handling the table service this evening and did a great job. You would have thought that she had known us for years. She is super friendly! It wasn't crowded tonight when we got there but it did pick up quick. Despite the additional guests that came in she was on top of it. My wife ordered a Diet Coke and I ordered a tall Miller Lite. The draft beer was exceptionally cold which I like. We ordered our food which was 6 buffalo wings for me with a wedge salad and Bleu cheese. My wife ordered the shepherd's pie with came with a small salad. When our food came out the presentation was great as well as piping hot. She had to let her entree cool a bit before eating it. My wings were very meaty and loaded with sauce. (No need to ask for extra) The wedge salad was huge and delicious as well. I got their homemade Bleu cheese with it and definitely don't regret that. Note the wings came with Bleu cheese and celery also. My wife loved her salad and couldn't stop raving over the Shepherds pie. I did get a taste and must agree with her on how good it was. I took half of my salad and a full Bleu cheese home with me for tomorrow and my wife also brought home half of her meal. We ended up ordering the brown butter cake to split for desert which I will say was outstanding. We will surely go back and only wish that we had tried it sooner. Don't sleep on this one or you will be missing out.

I know that Mrs Mona Lisa still has her booth here as well and am praying my information is accurate ... my opinions and experiences however are first hand and full of love! Amy has worked so hard to make this happen for the community here, and even if she won't say it I will proudly tell you she is a huge advocate for helping her fellow humans be it feeding those who are displaced or collecting school supplies for local kids... but back to the bar!!! the atmosphere is so laidback and yet has a sophisticated vibe so you can't argue the ambiance is here! I can't wait to see what happens next with this one of a kind gem in the heart of downtown Hamilton. I heard she's even renting the top floor out for exclusive events so stay tuned and stop in, Karaoke and have a great time with friends!

It tastes a lot like an iced coffee. The rest of the beers on tap are mainly from the Cincinnati or Dayton breweries including MadTree and Warped Wing. The atmosphere is the best among the bars.
