Some of the best neighborhood bars are the ones you'd never stumble upon unless someone brought you…read morethere... and this is one of them. Tucked away in the back of a strip mall off Park Road next to the Shitty Kitty (IYKYK), this place has all the ingredients for becoming your new local favorite. It's low-lit, clean, has a cool mural inside, plenty of parking, and the A/C was working overtime on a 95-degree day--which honestly deserves its own five-star review. The staff was phenomenal. We came with friends who stop in every Saturday, and the bartender essentially already had their drinks in mind before they even sat down. I love seeing that kind of neighborhood feel where regulars are treated like family, but newcomers are welcomed just the same. The pours were generous (which is always appreciated), and the burgers were banging. The fries were solid too... personally, I like mine a little thinner, but that's purely preference, not a complaint, and I ordered them extra crispy... they delivered! Everything came out hot and exactly as ordered. My only "complaint" (and it's more of a funny observation than anything) came courtesy of the men's room. Apparently they're very serious about conserving toilet paper or the men's bathroom wanting to be used in that capacity because, according to my boyfriend and our friend (who went to investigate after we couldn't stop laughing), you would definitely have to lift from the toilet seat to reach the roll. We got a good laugh out of that one. All good from the women's room tho! Haha! This is the kind of place you stop into once and find yourself wanting to come back. Great people, great vibes, cold A/C (on the HOTTEST DAYS), heavy pours, and burgers worth the trip. I'll definitely be back!

5/5! Comet Grill is awesome! Nice, little neighborhood dive bar. Parking can be tough at times, but…read moreusually not an issue. Service is always great! Their burgers are to die for! Cooked literally in front of you and full of flavor. All American burger is also $10 on Saturdays. Highly recommend. Live music most every night of the week as well!

If you've ever been to a Knights game then chances are you've stopped by Paper Mill Pub either…read morebefore or after the game given their prime location inside the knights stadium. That being said they are a great bar in their own right and make for a great stop on a night out. I recently came in for their Halloween pop up bar and I was very impressed by the decor as well as the cocktail menu. The bartenders were passionate and super friendly and my friends and I had a good time. If you are bouncing around Uptown on a night out you should stop by!

Came here for their Halloween themed nights. Not gonna lie, it was a little disappointing. Don't…read moreget me wrong, it wasn't bad or anything, but they really sold the decor and theming on social media but it didn't live up to the hype in person. Decor was alright but nothing special. Drinks were ok, a little weak and too sugary. Bartenders were great. I'm going to just stick to coming her before a game and stay away from their social media over-hyped events.

Thomas Street Tavern has been my go-to bar since the 90s, and I still absolutely love it! The vibe…read moreis unbeatable, everyone is friendly, anything goes, and there's zero judgment. It's always felt like a place where you can just be yourself, and that's why I keep coming back decade after decade. That said, one suggestion: it may be time to upgrade the TVs. A several screens are showing wear, one had half the picture visible and the other half dark/scrambled, and the TV along the back patio bar (near the fabulous Kathy) has a noticeable line down the middle. You all have been around as long as I can remember, and this place deserves TVs that match the greatness of the bar itself. Much love, and thank you for all the years of good times.

This was our second time having lunch here. Overall, and extremely enjoyable experience. Prada was…read moreour waitress and she was very friendly and knowledgeable regarding the menu. We ordered onion rings, strawberry and goat cheese salad, parmesan, garlic wings, and Fish Tacos. All delicious; however, my husband had the Fish Tacos and he said next time he'll order the chicken sandwich only because the tacos probably wasn't as filling as he wanted it to be, but the taste was fine. He also ordered the chocolate chip dessert and one side seem to be cooked harder than the other. He's not a complainer and he did ask if that was normal. Prada said she'll be glad to talk to the chef about it. My husband ate the whole thing anyway. He ordered that in our first visit. It was baked evenly then and so good he ordered it again this time. Prada addressed our concerns and resolved to our satisfaction. Customer Service so far has been top-notch here. My husband also got one of the beers. Honestly, I can't remember which one it was but he said it was very good. I'm unsure how parking would be if we tried to come directly here. I was able to use my membership parking privileges at the Ymca after a workout and the walk was super close and easy..

What's not to love about the recently re-opened Heist Brewery in NODA? The beer is delightful,…read moreclean, and crisp. The food is expertly prepared and compliments the beer perfectly. The service (shoutout to our waiter/bartender peanut) was friendly, conversational, and well executed. The Parmesan garlic fries were fried well and had good flavor, but could've use a little more flavor from oil or seasoning. The onion rings were nearly perfect and my friend said they were the best she's ever had. The buffalo chicken wrap was spicy, sweet, and tangy from sauces, giving it a wonderful complex collection of flavors. The Greek flatbread was good but could've use have done with more meat and less feta and tzatziki. The balance was off, but I think they could perfect it if they gave it a try.

We arrived about an hour before closing, and the initial hostess seemed hesitant about seating us,…read morewhich was a bit discouraging. Thankfully, we spoke with the manager, who was welcoming and assured us they could take care of us within the timeframe--and they did. The atmosphere is your typical bar setting--nothing fancy, but comfortable and casual. The menu has a lot of variety, including salmon, huge salads, sliders, nachos, taco pasta, and more. We started with the Caswell Sampler, which was really good and generous enough to share. I had the Chicken Cobb salad and would definitely recommend it--fresh ingredients and a good portion size. Overall, we had a positive experience thanks to the manager's hospitality, attentive service, and solid food.

Came here for Saint Patty's day weekend and it's off the hook!…read more Bagpipers Irish dancers I'm a slowly good people looking for a good time.

Only complaint is pendant light hanging in front of the TV blocking my view while I'm hoping Man City whips the snot out of West Ham. Check it out when you can! Cheers!

As if that wasn't bad enough, the bartenders kept disappearing into a back room, and we caught them appearing to do lines off the counter back there. The whole thing felt dirty and sketchy.

First times for us here at this place. VERY VERY pleasantly surprised…read more Walked in on a Saturday night. Metallica was playing in town, so at the time 6pm (ish). Daniel (owner) came up immediately and showed us the ropes. He took the time to explain a few favorites on the menu, shared a little bit about the place, and convinced us that we were where we should be. My wife and split the house salad and the fish sandwich. Both were excellent. The wine was good. Heavy pours which we enjoyed. The wife loved it. Cameron even gave my wife a free sample of the Collard Greens. We would highly recommend this local place to out of towners (which we are). Daniel and Cameron, thank you for being great hosts. Nicely done.

The waitresses were very attentive which I appreciated. We ordered the Redneck Egg Rolls which were delicious. The collard greens were seasoned nicely. We ordered the Friday Blue Plate Lunch Special: Fish Fry Friday. The description said Flounder but I don't believe it was flounder based on the texture of the meat. The food was seasoned but my only complaint is I don't believe it was flounder we were given to eat. We would return but I won't order the seafood.
