The…read moreburger was grilled to have just enough char to taste and was good enough that I could've eaten it on its own without the rest of the trimmings. However, those trimming only improved the burger (though note that the "BBQ burger" just has BBQ sauce on it among other things, and it's just standard sweet sauce). The onion petals were also great and much better than the typical onion rings. The tea was a little off, but it's just as likely that I don't like the way the supplier prepared it as much as The Corner Bar did something. Be aware that this place is loud, but it does call itself a bar, after all.

A few minutes later, our order of fried cauliflower arrived. A little sticky with a sweet sauce but nice and spicy and very delicious. I'd have this again when I come here next time.

It's never a win on both. The best thing I've had here so far is the strawberry French toast--it's actually really good. Unfortunately, the worst thing I've had was the waffle portion of the chicken and waffles. The waffles were so hard that I honestly can't believe the kitchen sent them out, and I can't believe I actually tried to eat them! I really want to see this place succeed, but they definitely need to work on consistency, especially with both the food and the drinks. There's potential here, but unfortunately, my experiences so far have been more disappointing than enjoyable.

That's like charging $10 for a small shot of Hpnotic, especially without notifying that it is that much of an additional charge. I understand an upcharge, but $10 is absurd for what was a splash of Baileys. It wasn't even 1.5oz brought out in those small plastic communion cups. Upon Google review, "A $10 upcharge for a shot of Baileys Irish Cream in an espresso martini is unusually high. Normal liquor and modifier upcharges at restaurants generally range from $2 to $6. The Modifier Premium: Standard bars charge $2 to $5 to add a splash of liqueur.The Standalone Pour: High-end lounges often lack a dedicated "modifier" button for premium liqueurs in their Point-of-Sale (POS) system. The bartender is forced to ring up a full 1.5 oz to 2 oz pour, which carries a baseline lounge price of $10 to $14."

This place was truly awful! I've lived on 3 continents and can say that this is the worst service…read morewe've experienced! It's quite apparent that this place has a serious problem starting with management and working its way down. Long story short, we bowled for two hours and during that time they lost our first food order, delivered the second order placed with 6 min left of our two hours of bowling and delivered it missing food and drinks. During this time our bowling lane kept erroring out and it was nearly impossible to track someone down to fix the problem. When we did find someone, the person was so incredibly rude and snarky. I told one person about our error, she stared at me, didn't say a word, and walked off! Then she came back later to blame us for the issue claiming we had too many bowling balls, which was not the reason the pins wouldn't reset First person we talked to about food: told us to place our order at the bar because we had alcohol in the order. Second person we talked to: told us that the food and drinks would be delivered to our bowling lane Third person we talked to (after waiting for our order over an hour): told us they did nothing with our order because they can't bring alcohol to the lane while holding up the list we gave them. No one informed us that they wouldn't put the order in, contrary to what person 2 told us. Talked to a manager who then put part of our order in. Second order was delivered incomplete with 6 min of bowling left. Food was so disgusting and soggy that I wouldn't have fed it to my dog. I informed the manager to refund us and we went to Chipotle 3 min down the road to eat. Time will tell if I'm charged for food we didn't receive or food that wasn't edible! Needless to say, we will go somewhere else to bowl and will never step foot in this poorly run "establishment" again! Pics are of the error we continued to get on the lane, the incredibly rude bartender (supposedly her name is Ashley) and the ridiculously large bee in the waiting area which just sparked interest.

I had high hopes for this restaurant when I made a reservation for Valentine's Day, but…read moreunfortunately, the experience fell far below expectations. While I take full responsibility for arriving 15 minutes late, I was shocked at how rudely the hostess--who we later learned was the manager--handled the situation. Rather than a simple acknowledgment of the delay, or improbability of getting a table, she made a point to shame us, emphasizing that accommodating us would be an extra burden for her. This set an uncomfortable tone from the start. When she begrudgingly seated us at a table that had somehow magically become available, she made another unnecessary comment, implying that I should do my part to not make her job so difficult again. My partner was immediately put off and suggested we leave, but I decided to give the restaurant another chance, assuming the manager might just be having a rough night. Unfortunately, things did not improve. The food, best described as uninspired frozen bar fare from the main Duckworth's kitchen, took over 30 minutes to arrive--and even then, it was served before our drinks. When the drinks finally did arrive, they were nothing exceptional. I ordered a French 75, and my partner had a Paloma, only to realize that even the drinks had come from downstairs at Duckworth's. Given the restaurant's supposed reputation, I was surprised that it didn't have its own bar, unlike how things are set up at The Cellar. The only redeeming aspect of our visit was our waitress, who was pleasant and professional. However, what puzzled us the most was that despite the manager's initial reluctance to seat us, nearly half of the restaurant remained empty throughout the evening. With at least three or four servers working in a relatively small space, it was clear that staffing wasn't the issue--so why the hostility? It was hard not to wonder if other potential diners had been similarly turned off by the manager's deplorable attitude and the underwhelming menu. Overall, the experience left a bad taste in our mouths--both literally and figuratively. Between the lackluster food and drinks, and the uncalled-for attitude from management (she is bald and was wearing a dress on the evening of 2/14/25 at 9:30PM-11PM), I cannot recommend this place to anyone looking for a pleasant dining experience.

They are located in the back of the Park Road Shopping center which isn't where you would expect to find one of the classiest cocktail joints in the city, but like any good speakeasy, they keep a low profile and looks can be deceiving. Membership is $10.00 annually, and they are very keen on making sure the place isn't overcrowded, so if you arrive without a reservation, there is a chance you may not be given a seat. It isn't to be snooty, they simply want to make sure that experience for all guests meets a certain standard, and to do that they make sure that there aren't people standing around the bar and crowding it. We took our chances recently before grabbing dinner nearby, and by a stroke of luck they had two open bar seats. Their cocktail menu is second to none. They have creative options cooked up by their mixologists, or they can serve up the classics. It's honestly hard to go wrong, I haven't had a bad drink here. The service is top notch. You can tell the people behind the bar enjoy what they do. Even if you aren't a big cocktail person and this may not seem like your scene, I still highly recommend trying it out sometime. It's a great experience!
