Today they were offering a Bloody Mary Bar where one picks their preferred vodka and can go up to add whatever mix and topping you want. Their menu has a variety of sandwiches, burgers, salads, hotdogs, and pizza. They have monthly beer specials so my friends ordered a Pacifico for $3.75 and Miller High Life for $1.75. I got a John Daly cocktail which was just under $5. Steal! For food, I got the Brent's Best Burger in the junior size. The regular fries were not my favorite but I loved the burger flavor. Our group also got the DeCarlo Sandwich and a Patty Melt. Both were thoroughly enjoyed! Our server, Danielle, was very kind and gave us some good suggestions on what to eat. She was very patient with me while exploring the menu. Overall, this was a great experience where items were loved or just ok. I did love the casual atmosphere and special deals they offered.

I just ate it and didnt say anything. The pizza has a similar crust to That place in Maumee everyone loves. The rest of the food was decent and I'll return to try some more of their menu. They had several TVs with sports balls on and a table with assorted games to be played. Great rainy day bar.

It's in a shopping Center Plaza kind of off of the main road. I have been before but just for a beer. We sat at the bar area and the bartender was really nice. Sorry I didn't get her name. You can tell there's a lot of regulars that come here but we were treated just the same. They have about 10 taps and had a few ipas on there for me. What I really like is the prices. An IPA for $5? Can't hardly find that anymore. So we had two rounds of beer each and got two appetizers. I spinach dip and some pepperoni egg rolls. Both were actually really good. Spinach dip could use some more seasoning but that just seems to be the case almost everywhere anymore. Food came out fast and was delivered hot. Beer was Ice cold. It's kind of a small spot so you're either going to sit at the bar or at one of the few tables that are around the bar area. Lots of TVs around the bar. $31 for both of us. I do recommend.

I'm too old for bottom shelf drinks but regular prices are reasonable. Bartenders are used to simple drinks and beer. I asked for a pinot grigio and got a blank look.

I can't tell you the last time I went someplace with security at the door lol. To say I felt out of place would be an understatement. I definitely got the stank eye from some women. I found some rolling papers and a joint in the parking lot, so there's that. It looked like there was an upstairs and a pool table. Honestly I wasn't trying to make much eye contact with anyone in there so I can't give anymore details. We ordered 3 green tea shots. They were large but poured light. Priced OK though. Might be better to visit during the day.

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

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.

The weather was quite nice Sunday afternoon, so we decided to go and check things out. We ordered a flight of crafted brews: Blimey; Big Fat Boss Baby Mocha; and two Student Body Right and our food choices (limited menu for the soft opening). Because it was so nice out, we decided to occupy one of the tables in the "courtyard" area near the IT5 Food Truck. It did take long and I received a text message indicating our food was ready. We had a Mushroom Swiss Smash Burger w Fries and Chicken Tenders w Cole Slaw. Both food items were very good. The chicken tenders were tender and juicy. The smash burger was done to our liking. Fries were made while we waited. We had been to the Fieldhouse a couple times, but we did not know there was a fire ring set up "in the back 40". Nice touch. Maybe IT5 will utilize some of the additional space out back for more than one food truck? Time will tell...

If it had been there when I was in college we would have been here. Great space inside with an upstairs that seems to get rented out for private parties but no worries because they have an awesome outside patio with cornhole etc outside. Food trucks good selection of beers galore. Along with quick friendly service. I get a wave from most of the bartenders because I been here a time or two. ;). Did I mention they do a lil farmers market thing from 11-3 on Sundays on the patio? I love new places. Eat your heart Earnest Brewery. There's a new sheriff on the south side.

It's been on my list for a while now and I would say it was the worth the wait. So, if you're waiting, stop! Just go! This trip, I went the appetizers route. Next trip, I might get a few different heavier options. However, I will always get the whiskey glazed Brussels. The pretzels were a little harder than my preference. The basket of fries was very hot. The Brie was pretty good as well and they definitely serve enough of it for a table to share. Whiskey: Well I actually ordered an Apple pie martini because it caught my eye on their featured menu. I then (mistake on my part) ordered two smoked manhattan's. Those were great. I preferred the smoked vs not smoked. And all were decent or standard sized glasses. The atmosphere is perfect for recapping your day or catching up with people. There's a lot of space and plenty of seating options. There's definitely a cozy feel to this place.

We were eventually seated in what I call the 'overflow' room Separated from the main bar area. No table cloths No silverware. No service for almost 10 min. Candle on table, not lit. Felt like we were seated in the garage. Sad that the ambiance was flat for the money we spent to eat and have cocktails. When asking about paying the bill, we were told it's easier for her if we just pay online. There goes the personal connection that you expect when paying that kind of money. The food was delicious. Just wish the experience of eating there matched.

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.

The minute we walk in she's already pouring our drinks and firing up the computer and sound system. There's something novel about self serve karaoke and being in charge of the song order/selection. I've been to a few other "karaoke bars" in the area, but you may get to sing twice if your lucky and you'll be standing in line for a drink. One dollar pickle backs (throw in some Franks) are devious and delicious... trust me! They usually have a beer special as well as 1$ jello/pudding shots- not my thing, but it's nice to have options. Pam makes a great margarita and killer gin and tonics. If you love to sing, or just love watching other people stumble through karaoke classics this is the spot to be. I've come here through several owners and it just keeps getting better with time. Pop in for a drink and a tune, you'll be happy you did!
