We completely stumbled on this bar as they had only been open for a few weeks…read more They had a fantastic staff that was very pleasant and quick to get our order in. They had an amazing cocktail menu so I ordered the "Kiwi do you live me" drink and it was delicious! We only had a short amount of time before our plans so we didn't get to try and good, but it all looked delicious! We will be coming back to try that food.

This spot is new. Only reason Im giving 2 stars. Room to grow. 40 minutes to place a brunch order…read morethat has 4 items. Not off to a great start. I called and made reservations. When we arrived the host? Not sure who he was just starts talking about the only seats at the bar. Didn't get a word in edgewise to say hey I have a reservation. We were the only folks sitting at the bar so ok. So back to where I was. 40 minutes later sitting directly at the bar trying to make eye contact and caught a server finally to take our order. Now 4 more folks came n sat at the bar. Somehow their food order got taken and before ours. My man is ticked and about to leave. Ordered a pearmosa which is a woodchuck cider not a mimosa to me. We got a waffle (cold), bacon, grits and the seafood grits. Most were cold. Butter just melted and that's after I heated it up next day. The flavor of the food was good. Just not proper temp, service sucked and the parking sucks. Limited street parking or pay to park lots. Im going to give them some time to grow before trying again. Two words for this black owned establishment. Do better

The ambiance was welcoming and cozy, and the drinks were great! The band was really amazing...and a sincere & heartfelt thanks goes out to the house band: Andre Wright, Gene Parker and his son Ray. (Special addition Mr. Bobbie Johnston and his family - they provided food, love and hugs) To everyone, YOU ARE APPRECIATED! Thank you Peacock Cafe staff for allowing the space and opportunity to celebrate the life of our dear brother. We sincerely appreciate the warmth and hospitality that I'm sure he would've most certainly been proud of!

I thought this spot was closed. Their Facebook page hasn't been updated since about 2017 and I…read morenever really hear anybody talking about it anymore. This bar has been here probably as long as I've been in Toledo and that's over 15 years. When you walk in you see this beautiful bar made out of wood. I don't know who made it but it is gorgeous. They have a nice selection of alcohol for cocktails and Sutter Home type wine. Even a few craft beers for me. They have special events like jazz on Thursday for free with free appetizers and host comedy events on occasion. Only problem is you have to search it out. They don't do a great job of advertising. Now this place has a reputation of being a primarily black bar but I have seen folks of all ethnicities here and they are welcome. The bartenders are semi-friendly depending who you get. Prices are like you would expect being near downtown. AKA overpriced. But the bathrooms are clean and the atmosphere is nice. Come check it out

There were a few pinball machines that I could play with my guy. Very friendly bartenders to chop it up with. Today its called Toledo pinball club. Things have changed. Now children are allowed. There's pinball tournaments. The beer list hasn't changed in months and its no longer creative. They will push that now expensive bar food from the Distillery upstairs. Atmosphere has changed and its not for me. I come to chill out, drink some beer, and play a game or 2. Now, you are going to hear young boys screeching as they play pinball behind you. I left a half full beer last time I as there. No longer my scene. Count me out

We've come here a few times and have always had a good time…read more The pinballs players come here and are regulars and friends with the staff. The food is pulled from the Distillery menu so it's great bar food. The atmosphere is a nerd basement with at least 10 pinball machines, board games and active puzzles. They announce when they have new pinball machines and the community comes out and shows up in a big way. It's a great spot to get away and nerd out with your favorite pinball game.

Located in Fort Industry Square, Brew House Downtown is a pretty cool place. It's fancy, a little…read moreunique, and the product is great. If you need an after work pick-me-up, OR, if you want to edge off after work, BHD has you covered! This place is both a coffee shop, and the "speakeasy." Want a coffee or tea drink, a bagel, a banana, or a bougie pastry? You can find these in the cafe. If you want an excellent, if not overpriced, cocktail? You can find it at the bottom of the spiral staircase, in the bar area. The area directly above the bar (up a few steps up from the cafe), is a nice seating area. The view, over the parking lot(s) of the river, is surprisingly scenic. Service: This is a weird one...on nearly every occasion that we've been here, the wife and I got strange vibes. The people behind the counter in the coffee shop seemed, for some reason, snobby and aloof. C'mon, girls, you're baristas, not prima ballerinas...Still, the service was at least fast and accurate. I like the atmosphere. From the comfy chairs in the cafe, to the "secret" back door of the speakeasy, this place is very cool. However, THE BAR NEEDS A FOOT RAIL! All in all, this is a very nice edition to the downtown coffee, and bar, scene.

In true speakeasy fashion you had to know about or at least have an intuition that this was it from the back. They could play on it. My cocktail was fine and acceptable it's that it would be a 3 on a scale of 1-5 which is good 3 meets all the requirements. Return factor high 8
