Located on Liberty in Bloomfield, Silky's is your quintessential dive bar. There's a small bar…read morearea, a few tables inside, and some outdoor seating available. We stopped in for a quick drink on Saturday around 3:30pm and were able to get served right away. They did check our IDs. They have a variety of beers, seltzers, and other drinks we didn't look at. They also have food. They did serve us a little bowl of cheese puff balls with our drinks which was nice.

This burger is a good "drunk burger." Greasy. Not a smash burger. Having had only a beer, was too sober to love it but not so sober that I didn't see its potential. Staff is friendly though and this feels like the neighborhood spot of the neighborhood.

Unfortunately the food was meh too. And the beer was lacking too. 12 lukrs tho amazing, but there were only about 5 beers on draft, which I found odd. -Burger was best thing but overcooked, asked for med rare, came out med-well -Chicken wrap was bland -Trout dip tasted pre-packaged, and bread was super stale -Seitan flavor was very good but cooked meh, it was way too chewy in the middle -Pretzel was meh Sigh, considering this place hosts Zwanze Day, I was a little disappointed with the place. The live music outside was pretty good, but not sure i'd be running back here.

The hummus is delicious and served with veggies and warm, lightly seasoned pita 'chips' which were both crispy yet soft inside, with just the right touch of seasoning. We also got the tasty shrimp tacos which are back on the menu! Finished with a warm skillet cookie topped with vanilla ice cream! A great meal all around. Of course we love the people at this family owned establishment which is what keeps us coming back! They have weekly burger specials and now also doing some guest taps in addition to their own beers.

We thought Beverly was just filling in as the drinks she made were all a little off. Seemed they were out of gin so used vodka for Hot Gin Summer but it tasted like she was out of simple syrup also. Smoked the old fashion ice cube a little then added bourbon and garnish. ??? Odd. ????? The burgers were both amazing but not so much that we would return. Typical small restaurant feel with a lot of hustle and bustle in the bar area.

So many great shows there from my many friends with bands to some of the best-known punk acts in the country. This location is really just as great. It's a spacious restaurant that does at times have live music. Family-friendly. Incredible service. And the food...big portions and enough to share. I love the habanero burger. My boyfriend loves the Tony Montana Cuban. The classic mac and cheese is so good, it's like it came from someone's kitchen. Totally scratch-made. Those steak tacos aren't too shabby either, friends!

My only comment was that it could have used a little more sauce as a bite or two were a little dry. Other than that, I thought it was pretty good.

With that said, service is slow. Every time is a lengthy wait for food, but every server I have had is always kind. Just be prepared to stay for a little while. The broiled fish is hearty, yet light. The roll it was served on was fresh, and the fish was flavorful. I love the house-made chips. Great seasoning on them! I appreciate the bar's character, the good food, and the good time close to home!

The bar area has…read morehigh top tables for enjoyable get togethers, while thru the open door way are low top tables which aid in providing a more intimate atmosphere. There is also a big patio area which is wonderful for a warm spring day, or a cozy summer night. The menu contains unique items amongst its standard fare. We went with the "Polish bowl", the " Italian bowl" and the cheesesteak. The Polish bowl contained pirogies that would rival any church lent takeaway. Accompanying them was kielbasa, sauerkraut, bacon, with side of sour cream and butter. Large portions, delicious taste. The Italian bowl consisted of four enormous meatballs. The flavor reminded me of my mom's who was taught by her neighbor who was from Italy. So very delectable. I took two of the four home and made two meatball subs from them- again, so enormous. The Grumpy Beaver does not skimp on quantity, but maintains a very high level of quality. The cheesesteak equaled two you would receive from anywhere else. The inclusion of sirloin, Swiss cheese accompaniment, and the local Mancini bakery bread ( long roll) will stand against anything you get from Philly. This was scrumptious. For dessert we chose a Dubai torte, and a banana peanut butter pie. Both did not let us down, with the heavenly flavor exploding in each bite. Our waitress Gabby was sweet and very accommodating. We will be back, and you should try it!
