    It's the best place in Winchester. Really good food. Great people. Get the pork chop. Daily…read morespecials are great. So are the tots. Did I mention beer?

    After being a constant customer here at the A &B sports bar in Winchester Indiana and receiving…read morevery good service as well as excellent food it saddens me to make this review. I ordered a New York strip steak which was one of their specials today and a baked potato. I should have only ordered the baked potato. The steak was extremely and I mean extremely bad. It was filled completely with nothing but gristle. I inform my server that while her service was very very good the steak was very very bad. The manager came up to my table and admitted to me that they had received bad meat from their vendor from time to time. However when I received my bill the steak charge was still on there. I used to come here two or three times a month to get their frog legs I will not be back. They've lost a really good customer. You would think that someone who owns and establishment and admits to a customer that the meat is bad from time to time would take a little bit more care and how they treat that customer especially if that customer was a regular. Luckily my wife only ordered an order of onion petals because she was not feeling very well. Perhaps it was a blessing that she wasn't feeling so well so she didn't have to order the food here and get sick even more. If I can I am going to see if I can contest this bill with my bank because this is wrong and cannot be rewarded with payment. On my way out of the place a young man was coming in and I warned him don't order the New York strip he asked me why and I was completely honest with him. He said thank you very much for the heads up. To the owner of this establishment if you want to give me a call my number is 765-209-8045 or you can email me at richard.buckner@comcast.net perhaps you may want to make some type of amends for your actions. I believe in giving someone a chance. But the decision for them to do so is up to them.

    I visited this establishment on a Saturday night and noticed very few patrons (a clear warning sign…read morefor a bar). The bartender continued to carry on a conversation with other customers while I waited patiently to be recognized. He eventually came over and stood in front of me without speaking (warning sign number two). I requested a beer menu which he pointed out was on the wall. He kindly let me sample 2 beers. I requested a wine menu for my wife and he listed the varietals available. I inquired about the cost of the Pinot Grigio. He apparently had to go find the the manager and came back to tell me the price of the Sauvignon blanc. I politely pointed out that I wanted the price of the Pinot. He seemed visibly frustrated (as he looked like it was a burden for him to walk that much) and had to go find the manager again. He poured the beer and opened the bottle, throwing away the cork. I asked about the possibility of corking the leftover and he seemed to fish the cork out of the trash, pushing it back into the bottle without offering a wine glass (the third warning sign). I gave him my credit card and as he rang up the sale, I inquired about setting up a tab since he didn't offer to do so as most bartenders will. This was clearly too much for this poorly trained millennial and he again had to get assistance from the manager. Not being able to control himself, he muttered "I guess he's never been to a bar before" loud enough for me to hear, obviously upset that I did not request a tab before he rang in the sale. I asked him to repeat what he said. He of course had misplaced his cajones by then and denied saying anything. The manager, looking like Large Marge from Pee-wee's Big Adventure, naturally failed to try and resolve the situation and took back the drinks without giving my credit card back until asked. I sarcastically thanked them for their customer service and went to leave. Naturally, one of their few regulars had to throw in his 2 cents in and followed me outside. This little bald man with his pit bull said that "maybe the problem is you". I replied "maybe" and walked away with my wife. He followed behind making fun of my wife's gait (she limps from prior surgery for bone cancer) and threatening to push her over. As he was obviously all talk and no action, I ignored him as we walked over to the Canon Commons for the concert. Of course he also showed up there, but by then he also had misplaced his man parts and didn't approach us. So a word of warning to potential new visitors - DON'T.

    We chose Elm Street to dinner tonight because we had always had good food and good service in the…read morepast. That was not the case tonight. We arrived at 5:30 p.m. and were seated immediately and right in front of the musicians. There were no menus for us but the hostess explained she had run out and would return with them. It took several minutes but she did return with them. We realized there was no bar menu at our table so I took the one from a nearby table. After 15 minutes I spoke to a young woman who was bussing the table behind us and told her we had not yet seen a member of the wait staff. She said she would look into it. Five more minutes went by and I stopped the hostess and told her we had not seen a waiter. She said she would look into it. Another five minutes goes by and finally Isaiah stopped at our table, apologized for our wait and took our drink order. He asked if we were there for the band and I said, "No, we are here for dinner." We ordered two Bantams. Finally, at 6 p.m. we left. Our beers never arrived. There was no apology from the hostess and we let the waiting customers know unhappy we were with the service. No one should have to wait for 30 minutes for a beer at a brewery. We were totally ignored by your staff. We will not return.

We came because I wanted to try the sugar cookie martini I saw them post as their cocktail of the month on Facebook. Our servers have always been great. The bartenders were very friendly and it's such a cool relaxed vibe inside. Great place for all types of groups!

    Not starting off very well. Service is beyond slow and the waiter screwed up the drink order. Yes,…read moreI seen him write it down. We received silverware, with a knife or a fork missing. One person did not receive any. I ordered the chef salad with thousand island dressing. Salad was of a good portion but the dressing had very little taste. My wife got the Greek salad and hers tasted fine. My beer (tall draft) Michelob Lite and it arrived flat. I'm going to add that we were here with another couple who said they have been here a dozen times before and the service was never like this. Maybe I'd come back and give it another chance, but not impressed today. Waiting on check, I hope they serve breakfast

    Charming! It really looks and feels like an English pub. And the place is huge, multiple dining…read morerooms in addition to the bar (taproom to a Brit), bricked archways, a pool room. I even saw a snuggery for goodness' sake. And I am SO sitting there when we return soon for a meal. It was just a couple beers this first visit. It's just brick and old wood everywhere you look. Tiffany lamps. It's gorgeous and dark. The beer garden is a big comfy outdoor area, walled off from the street, with tons of tables, all with big umbrellas, plus a comfy couch under its own shelter. I saw four giant heaters ready for the wintertime. The taproom and beer garden are strictly 21+. There's a pulltab dispenser machine for your gambling pleasure. The menu looks interesting, unfortunately nothing on offer that's really English other than fish and chips which is a shame. The atmosphere just cries out for black pudding or a shepherds pie. So I'm really rating 4 1/2 on that account but definitely rounding up, as it is such a cozy feelgood place.
