    Blackthorne Pub is one of those places that keeps you coming back…read more The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. The cocktail menu is creative and imaginative, with drinks that are just as fun as they are well-made. What really sets Blackthorne apart, though, is the people. The owner and staff genuinely make you feel like you're among friends, not just another customer. They create such a welcoming atmosphere that it's more than just a place to eat or grab a drink--it's a place where community happens. If you're looking for great food, excellent cocktails, and a business that truly values its customers, Blackthorne Pub is absolutely worth a visit.

    Was in town for a wedding and we spent some pre-ceremony time at the nearby Blackthorne. Spacious…read moreinterior with a variety of chair types. I could easily see myself spending a few hours here and lounging, maybe writing or grading papers, and just enjoying the ambiance. It does have that local-pub type feel to it. Easy to find parking right out on the street. I selected the seasonal cocktails Demeter to drink. Gin is my spirit of choice, and the addition of black currants and blackberries was intriguing. The Cassis Noir De Bourgogne was the dominant flavor, rich black currant flavor from the liqueur. I do also appreciate that the drink was a very nice balance between mild tartness and mild sweetness, I could easily drink four or five in a sitting and still feel good about it. I do enjoy the terpene notes from gin and was unfortunately not able to taste them since the black currants were some dominant. The blackberries and the rosemary both struck me as there for the visual appeal more-so than the taste. If the berries were muddled more, then they too could add depth to the flavor. As they were in the mostly intact state I drank around them, a straw would not have been appropriate for the drink. I think one could cut the ice in half, it would still stay cold, and the ease of drinking would go up. I could probably also get more blackberries into my mouth for an additional sensory experience. Lastly, I did wish for more bubbles, more effervescence. Keep a neutral flavor (like carbonated soda) and let the Cassis shine.

    The place gets 4 stars for ambiance and effort, actually it's Tri-Cities so let's start with 5…read morestars. First 1 star deduction: Being LIED at the entrance. Okay we were 12 guys and 2 girls (all of us coworkers from a multi national engineering and construction company) and we could easily see thru the windows inside that the place was completely empty. One of our party ask why a 5 dollars cover charge if the place was empty? And the bouncer said that we were looking into the private lounge and that the dance floor was packed. IF BY PACK HE WAS REFERRING TO THE OTHER 8 PERSONS WE SHARED THE WHOLE LOCAL FOR THE NEXT 2 HOUS THEN HE DIDN'T LIED AT ALL. Second star deducted: The DJ and it's constant yelling. DUDE I could tell your "peak" in life was 2003 -2004, by the selection of music you were playing (mostly Lil John, Pitbull, Nelly and Paul Van Dyk sets - Hey! There's nothing wrong with that since those were my wonder years in college) but your constant yelling on the microphone trying to pump the 20 of us there, was completely pathetic. YES!!! IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT AND WE ARE AT CRAVE...WHOP IT DO!!! YOU DON'T HAVE TO REMIND ME EVERY 10 MINUTES ABOUT IT!!! Third Star deducted: The guy in khaki cargo shorts and Rebook. WTF with a dress code ? You market yourself as a dance club/ultra lounge and suddenly I'm ordering a drink at the bar next to a guy in a t-shirt and cargo shorts and Rebooks while I'm wearing my best dress shirt and pants from J Crew/Zara ? Fourth and final star deducted:The Glass Shot Glass and the less of a shot of alcohol that you can't take away from the bar Debacle. You are going to pour my Scotch on a 2 ounce shot glass with so much ice it looks like a Scotch Slurpee and then when I tried to stand next to my friends a bouncer is going to yell at my face like a drill sergeant because I crossed an empty dance floor with a non-plastic cup. CHILL MAN!!! There's only 20 of us here and anyways the price I paid for a Johnnie Walker is about the same as a Macallan 20 years in Vegas... SO I'M NOT GOING TO DROP IT ! SO MUCH POTENTIAL FOR THIS PLACE... BUT IT'S A SHAME MANAGEMENT DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO PROMOTE IT!

    I went to Crave for a co-worker's birthday and we ended up spending a lot of money for weak drinks…read more The music was nice to dance to and I enjoyed my night out, but if you want to spend $6.50 on a mixed drink with less than a shot in it or jello shots that taste like there is no alcohol in them, then go here. Not to mention, I made a joke on their Facebook page about their drinks being weak and they deleted all my comments and blocked me. What sort of business doesn't allow negative comments on their Facebook page? Seems childish and unprofessional to me.
