    Diamond Pool tables.
    Nichole H.

    We went there for their Diamond Pool tables, and boy they did not disappoint. Our drinks were well balanced and tasted great. Throughout the week they offer many specials for drinks and food, too many to list in the review. Drink prices were appropriate, and the bartending and staff were exceptional! We did not have any food this time, but everything that we saw others order, made my husband and I both say that we want to come back for a bite to eat next time. They have at least 12 Diamond pool tables, spaced out nicely for playing. There was a tournament being played when we arrived, and a nice gentleman told us (without even needing to ask) that table 8 was open. The tables are $1.50 a game, which is a decent price for Diamond tables, however they offer free pool Monday through Saturday from 3-6. We will definitely be coming back earlier in the day to play on the tables for free next time. The bar also had a DJ playing when we were there on a Saturday, and they offer many other activities throughout the week from karaoke to trivia nights. There is a nice outside seating area with TV's and speakers to catch your favorite game as well.

    Hosted a bling bday party for Kim

    Tuesday is my favorite night at kips for 2 reasons. KJ Gina is nothing short of spectacular and hosts a 4 hours show that starts at 9 pm. Second reason is one of the Managers there named Memphis who goes above and beyond to make sure you have an incredible experience. We hosted a birthday party and needed batteries for the main present and he saved the day and found us a screw driver and AA batteries ! The food is awesome (love their burgers and chicken strips) join us every Tuesday if you love for karaoke. Ask for "Honey badger"

    I've lived right down the road from this bar for almost a year and just discovered it. I'm so glad I did! It's a really fun divey bar. There is inside and outside seating. I will say the outside seating is limited to two tables with 4 seats per table, but if it's not too crowded you can snag a spot. Inside there's lots of seating and pool tables. The pool table section was really cool! There were so many. I don't like when you're out at a bar and can't get time playing, but here that's not a problem at all! There was a live band and the service was really great. The waitress was super attentive. She did a great job keeping the drinks coming. She checked on us regularly. The prices were pretty cheap. I got the mozzarella sticks appetizer. They were really good! I also ordered a Long Island iced tea, which I'd definitely recommend to anyone who also loves long islands!

    What a dive. Rude bar tender, dirtiest place I've been in a while. Bad location. Lousy lighting and bad management.

    This is where bars go to die! The specials can not make up for the stale smell, poor service, and lack of decor.

    Hi, is this a good place for families? I'm planning to teach my 14 year old daughter to play pool, but I just wanted to make sure first.

    Hey Victor, we are a bar and Indiana law doesn't allow anyone under the age of 21 to be inside unfortunately. The only place that has pool tables that has underage customers is Executive Billiards from what I recall. You might try there.

    Pulling into the packed parking lot on a football Sunday, we were already discussing our backup…read moreplan if the wait was too long. Turns out the entire heated patio is first come, first served, and we were seated almost immediately. It was one of those windy Indiana afternoons where the cold finds every gap in your jacket. I fully expected to spend lunch shivering. Somehow, the heated patio felt warmer than the restaurant itself. Between the TVs, football on every screen, and the patio heaters, we had zero complaints. Now let's talk about the famous pepperoni-stuffed breadsticks. They're a must. And order your own nacho cheese. Seriously. Don't expect anyone to share. I could eat a shoe dipped in their cheese and probably enjoy every bite. The breadsticks always arrive piping hot, stuffed with gooey mozzarella, and if we're judging on a cheese-pull scale...I'm giving them a solid 7/10 on the stretch meter. As for our server, Zach...what a true gem. He's one of those people I'd honestly be surprised to hear anyone say they didn't like. Funny, quick with the jokes, and somehow kept up with the chaos without missing a beat. He also made sure my lemon drop martinis never had a chance to get lonely. Since I wasn't driving, he happily assisted me in...staying hydrated. The place was busy enough that we couldn't stand around chatting long, but he's the kind of person you'd genuinely enjoy running into again. We've been here twice now, and both visits have been consistently great. Whether you're stopping in to catch the game, escape the cold on the heated patio, or simply satisfy a craving for those ridiculously good breadsticks, Ale Emporium continues to be one of our favorite spots. Just don't skip the breadsticks...and trust me, order your own cheese. You'll understand after the first bite.

Our server was pretty great, and up front about wait times. We went when the kitchen has a crew shortage, so there was a wait for food. For appetizers: nachos were great, but if you ordered a simple nacho, it's meh, we had to add several things and added $$ to make it REAL nachos. The dip for the pork rinds was good. The table ordered truffle fries, they finished it. It was our first time trying Upland beers. Most of the options are IPA and tart beers. None of which I like. The mixed drinks menu was meh, they offer 2 hard ciders, but one was unavailable. Our server let us try samples and she was very patient. For main dishes: I ordered a Salmon BLT. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. I didn't eat it with the bun, salmons was very thin, 1 piece of bacon, slice of tomato and 1 piece of lettuce. We had mac and cheese, DO NOT ORDER, it was floating in fat and there's no taste to it. Fish and chips was okay. The pizza was the highlight, it saved the night, I think. Bathrooms clearly labeled, easily seen, and clean. For 6 people, 2 of whom did not have alcoholic drinks (just water), our bill with tip was over $350. I would not come back here again, I had a better time and better food at other breweries.

    We visited Bubba's for the Hamilton County Tenderloin Trail event. Our service was excellent and…read morethe food was as well. Four of us in our party, all enjoyed the Tenderloin sandwich. My wife had a side salad with hers. I enjoyed and order of their Shotgun Shrimp. The sandwich is very large, I cut mine half and got a full sandwich out of each half. The breading was good, not quite as crispy as some that we've had but it was good. The tenderloin itself had good flavor but had quite a bit of gristle. Serving temp was excellent, not mouth blistering, but not cool or cold like some have been I enjoyed the shotgun shrimp. Very tasty and satisfying. It could have used a little more kick, but my wife thought it was quite spicy so perhaps it was good. I just like it to tickle my mouth a little more. My wife loved her salad, crisp lettuce and the dressing was good Overall, a nice evening. The two things that would have moved my rating up to 5 would have been no gristle in the meat (we've been to 3 other places on this Trail and this was the only one that had gristle) and the background music made it difficult to talk. We left quickly because we couldn't visit comfortably Otherwise, we enjoyed the food, the ambiance was nice and the service excellent

The cutlet was a good size, the appearance was what you'd want, the cutlet far over the bun. Unfortunately it was dry and not particularly flavorful. The accompanying slaw (my preference instead of fries) was fine, as least it provided a counterpoint to the fried pork. But honestly, next time I'm in the area, I'd pass on Bubba's and probably won't be hankering for a pork sandwich again.

It can get pretty busy, though, so if you're planning to bring a larger group, I'd recommend visiting during non-peak hours. One of our favorite things is their great pricing on buckets of Sun Cruisers, and we love that you can mix and match the flavors instead of being limited to just one. It's a small touch that makes the experience even better. If you order the wings, don't skip the signature sauce. We've become huge fans of it, and it's one of the reasons we keep coming back. Overall, it's a great spot to grab a drink, catch up with friends, and enjoy the patio. Next on our list is trying the giant pretzel, which is served with your choice of queso or mustard. Looking forward to giving that a try on our next visit!
