A-OK but, it can get smokey and kinda crowded pretty quick…read more Here's the skinny: Simple drinks here... no fancy isht Mind your lungs, it gets smokey in here. Not much room on the "back side" of the bar. Booths are hard on your cheeks. Tables are better for a group. Here's the fat: If you're looking for a Martini or something, look elsewhere. Here it's beer, and simply mixed drinks as fast as they can pour 'em. This is another one of those NWI no frills just bottle and draft beer places. If you want a particular mixed drink - bring the recipe... they'll make it for you. If you don't smoke and have an aversion... stay away. Being a smaller bar and in Indiana the smoke pours forth from people like a *Pyroclastic Flow. The ventilation system has absolutely ZERO chance of keeping up. One side of the bar is less that 3 feet from the East wall... not many people pass through there but, when they do it's an awkward invasion of your "personal bubble". That said... it's a bar so personal space doesn't really mean much, especially after people have a few drinks. The booths here are particularly hard, I suggest sitting down gently unless you've got plenty of cushioning back there. Another thing about the booths, you're likely to find all kinds of change in the seats... change, cigarette butts and a coupon for Pizza Hut. Best bet for a group, tables. They can be put together for larger groups and there's no faux padding on the chairs to make you think they're soft. SYOY *Pyroclastic Flow (Noun) A fast moving gaseous cloud of hot ashes and other material thrown out from an erupting volcano

Came in last night for dinner, we've been here a handful of times and usually really enjoy it, but…read morethe vibe and food just didn't quite hit the mark this time. We started with the Mediterranean board, which was delicious! Lots of great dips and naan. We would've enjoyed a few more grapes and cucumbers though. I also ordered the cucumber mocktail, which was super refreshing and tasty. I would highly recommend! The main issue was the timing, we were seated, ordered, and waited quite a bit. When our food finally arrived, our meals were unfortunately cold. My steak was cold but my rice was a little warm, all fries and Mac and cheese were really cold, and the burger was room temp but we were so hungry we went ahead and ate. I did mention it to our waitress as she asked how it all came out. She was very kind and offered to remake the dishes or comp dessert, which we appreciated but declined. Both she and the manager were polite - it just seemed like a busy night and our order got lost in the shuffle. Just mediocre for our time and money. Even so, we made the best of it, the kids had fun playing hangman and "I Spy" on the kids' menu with us while we waited. I'd still recommend you try them out!

Because BJ's is close to home I keep going back hoping for a better experience…read more After 6 times in the past 2 years, its been disappointing. The two stars I've given are for the wonderful beer selections, both their own brews and the assortment of others. The food is "ok" the staff although friendly, are slow as death with absolutely no sense of urgency whatsoever. It hasn't been just MY service, but as I sit and wait for my food and/or bar order you can clearly watch the other servers and staff. At best they "mosey" as tgey go about their service. Even when the restaurant is relatively empty, the service is slow at best. I believe in tipping well for good, or great service. So to be honest I feel bad tipping poorly. My example, my most recent check came to just over $63 before tax. Usually I would tip $17-20 for good service. I left $12 because the service I received did NOT warrant $10. This in my opinion this is a management issue. When management is nowhere to be found in the dining area to coach & mentor staff, the result is you get what you get. I will not be going back there again, no matter how close they are, 6 strikes is enough..

They fell short with the food buffet situation. Food was set up near stairway. Tables were set up across from each other and tables wrapped around the corner. The food was set up in the walkway which was very dark. It was difficult to see the food. I feel like they need to rethink the buffet set up. This was the same set up as last year's party. I have to say that there was plenty of food but, many of the party goers did not leave the bar.

Such a great view of their brewery system on display from this seating. Outside, there was a nice amount of space to sit, hangout, bring is pups(s), and have that community feel.
