It fugggggs you up, hence the name "Legal Joint." Now Brathaus is fancy and has mango, peach, and raspberry flavors too. I couldn't bring myself to stray from the tried and true, but I'm sure they are equally as tasty. If you're ever in BG, stop by and have a drink. You can thank me later.

The bar staff were incredibly friendly and very attentive! The only critiques I have are that there are many many tables for watching and not much room for dancing ( or in my case moshing since I visited to see a metal show) which was a bit sad, they do not serve food here which again was a bit sad ( I should have looked up though) BUT!!!!! They do have a popcorn machine so that was a very happy surprise! This bar has good vibes and character!

A Beautifully Filthy Rock & Roll Dive…read more If you love a good, grungy, rock and roll dive bar, Howard's Club H is the place for you. It's got all the essentials: cold beer (only slightly overpriced), bartenders who are usually nice enough, and a smell that can only be described as shame with a hint of stale beer. The bathrooms? Perfectly disgusting, just as they should be in a place like this. The walls are covered in layers of graffiti and stickers, some of it actually pretty interesting if you take the time to look. Live bands crank out music that ranges from surprisingly solid to who let them on stage? But that's part of the charm. This is the kind of bar where you go to lose track of time, drink with strangers who might become friends, and soak in the glorious decay of a true dive. It's not for everyone, but if you appreciate a bar with character, history, and just the right amount of grime, Howard's Club H is a must.

Drove from Columbus to meet a friend for dinner. Looked at different places to meet and thought…read moreTrotters looked good. Could not have picked a better place. Amy greeted us with a great smile and a friendly attitude. By the time we left 90-minutes later we acted like old friends. We started with the Scotch eggs (after some alcohol). Really tasty with a crunchy exterior and flavorful sausage inside. Then two of us got the Irish egg rolls, one got a burger and one got a Reuben. The egg rolls were just the right amount for a dinner. Crunchy crust that held together with a nice filling. We kept stealing fries from one friend because they were so good. Amy kept our drinks filled, kept us laughing with her comments and really made us feel welcome. Place has a friendly neighborhood vibe working. Felt great. Make this a regular stop if you are in the area, you won't be disappointed.

You walk in and the stage is on the left, bar in the right, and pizza straight ahead. Order your drinks at the bar and pizza at the window and just relax, pay separately. I'm A pizza snob and I can say this is legit comfort pizza. It's a tavern style, thin crust and cut in squares, and it's really good pizza. I ordered the meat pizza and the toppings were legit. Piles of bacon, pepperoni, sausage and bacon. Crust was crispy and the sauce served its job. Definitely bring a crowd. I ordered a pizza and it's enough for probably 4 meals. It's filling and delicious. If you're in the area and want a chill place to have some good pizza check this place out. Oh, I wouldn't bring kids. You can, but it's a bar and I've heard several colorful conversations.

Sandusky, OH has quite a large LGBTQ* community, but... Crowbar is just "meh". I really expected…read morebetter and realized that it's just like every other gay bar in most smaller cities/towns: music that is way too freakin' loud, expensive drinks, and the uncomfortable feeling that everyone over 40 is constantly trying to take me home. The service from the bartenders is quite good; they're able to handle large crowds almost effortlessly from the four different times that I've been. The drag shows are quite entertaining, as always, but that's not what makes a club great. If I had any suggestions, I would probably start with the DJ staff: they play great music, but have no idea how to read a crowd at appropriate times or how to adjust the levels to match the room and/or crowd. Everyone loves to dance and have a great time, but I don't think everyone should feel like their ears are bleed when they leave. Granted, this is typical of many different clubs, but it doesn't mean that it's how it should be done. Really, I had a great time and had some great drinks that were over-priced, but that doesn't mean there isn't plenty of room for improvement.

We stayed for two rounds only because to use a credit card you have to spend $10. They had a surprising amount of bottled beverages, bud and bud light on tap.

It doesn't seem like a bad place but I can't do the smoke. 1 star because I didn't die, 1 star for the cool bowling game. - 3 stars for smoke and sketchy bathrooms. Also I wouldn't advise lone women to go here. I was the only female. Man after man came through the door. No females. The second review of this place is pretty accurate.

Mad Anthony's: A Dive Bar That Feels Like Home…read more Walking into Mad Anthony's feels like slipping into your favorite flannel shirt--warm, familiar, and a little rough around the edges, but in the best way. It's a dive bar that knows exactly what it is, and it leans into it unapologetically. The beer is cheap, cold, and endless, just the way nature intended. The regulars are the kind of people who will call you "buddy" before they even know your name, and by the end of the night, you might just have a nickname you didn't ask for but secretly love. The building itself is historic, though no one's quite sure how old it actually is--just old enough to have stories, and maybe a few ghosts, if you believe the guy on the corner stool. The crooked pool table in the back adds a layer of excitement (or frustration) to your game, and the food situation? Let's just say they've perfected the fine art of the toaster oven. A hotdog or frozen pizza has never tasted better, especially when served with the kind of charm only a dive bar can muster. And then there's the bathroom. This is where Mad Anthony's truly shines. They've cracked the code to dive-bar bathroom management by making sure the urinals are always packed with ice. It's a quirky, borderline genius trick that keeps the place from smelling like regret, and honestly, it's a level of thoughtfulness you wouldn't expect but deeply appreciate. The lighting is dark, but not "what-did-I-just-sit-on" dark--just enough to make everyone look a little cooler and keep the vibe cozy. Mad Anthony's doesn't try to impress, and that's exactly why it does. It's imperfect in all the right ways, and if you're looking for a bar that feels like an old friend, this is the place.
