Easily the best stop we made on our weekend visit to the Toledo area! I visited on a Saturday after…read morethe Toledo Farmer's Market and could not be more impressed with their selection. All spirits and liquors are made in house. When we visited, they had their brunch menu going on which switches for dinner at 4pm. Will was our bartender and I could not have nicer things to say about him! He sparked up some casual conversation with us, answered some questions we had, and made some great recommendations on drinks! He mentioned their two most popular brunch drinks were the Espresso Martini & Benton's Old Fashioned. We ordered both and WOW! Such a balanced cocktail, nice presentation, and great flavors. Their dinner menu was currently inspired by well known novels which previewing the menu had me wanting to come back. Such a fun spot with unique offerings you won't find at other spots in Toledo. Must try!

Went for holiday brunch bingo and it was PACKED. The flatbread was quite nice, and the drinks are…read morestrong (it's a distillery - they should be). Bingo started off well enough, then devolved into basically a friendly shouting competition between the DJ and the drunk audience, so we left before it ended.

Admittedly, I have peeked at my phone to identify a menu offering or two, but Registry Bistro rarely disappoints. Our latest visit was for a special Gatsby themed prix fixe menu and it was splendid!

We came for happy hour this time which is Tues-Thursday 4-6pm where they are featuring monthly new menus with different focus areas. The Alpine Spritz beverage was herbacious and yummy. The ribeye skewers and lamb stroganoff meatballs were two favorites. I've also come for dinner and had their halibut which is absolutely divine. Its interior has that of a warehouse vibe and the service is always strong. You'll find the servers really know the menu and chef is very proud of the quality that they provide! This is a great spot that I feel sometimes gets slept on

The whole ambiance and vibe of the area is very rustic and more old school which I love. The meat was delicious too, I've tried almost everything on the menu. The brisket is tender, juicy, and flavorful. The wings there are crispy on the outside and has a very nice succulent Smokey flavor on the inside. MY favorite thing on the menu would have to be the beef-fat potatoes. Really crispy and delicious! It is a QR scan-coded restaurant which makes ordering food easy and without wait! Self served drinks and an amazing bar! 10/10 would recommend to everybody I know!

4/4 = 5? Yep…read more We've been here 4 times, and we've been happy 4 times. That adds up to 5 stars. In general, I hate online ordering. So, at RB, there is still that option (using QR codes to order and pay). But now, if you'd rather, you can order your food and pay at the hostess station. In both cases, the food is brought to your table. Speaking of food, RB is pretty damned good. The brisket, the mac and cheese, the greens? Hell yeah. I would say that the greens could use a little pork flavor. But in general, the Mrs and I were very happy. Liked the sauces, too. The atmosphere is clean, open, industrial, and includes 10 PINBALL machines! And a mirror ball? Ok. The benches are padded for comfort. The prices? BBQ is expensive, but I'll put in a little overtime...I'll (we will) be back! 5 stars!

Thank you Peacock Cafe staff for allowing the space and opportunity to celebrate the life of our dear brother.

I thought this spot was closed. Their Facebook page hasn't been updated since about 2017 and I…read morenever really hear anybody talking about it anymore. This bar has been here probably as long as I've been in Toledo and that's over 15 years. When you walk in you see this beautiful bar made out of wood. I don't know who made it but it is gorgeous. They have a nice selection of alcohol for cocktails and Sutter Home type wine. Even a few craft beers for me. They have special events like jazz on Thursday for free with free appetizers and host comedy events on occasion. Only problem is you have to search it out. They don't do a great job of advertising. Now this place has a reputation of being a primarily black bar but I have seen folks of all ethnicities here and they are welcome. The bartenders are semi-friendly depending who you get. Prices are like you would expect being near downtown. AKA overpriced. But the bathrooms are clean and the atmosphere is nice. Come check it out

The restaurant felt like being transported back in time to New York with the theme. The staff were very friendly and were able to manage a very busy restaurant with multiple large groups. The live music was a nice touch. The food was extremely well done. Everything tasted fresh and was delicious. Honorable mention to the home made sourdough bread they used for the Turkey Reuben. It was a perfect balance of soft yet crunch and was filled with flavor. The Pierogis tasted like the type an Italian grandmother would make. It was a warm pillow of delicious goodness. We will definitely be back

I wish they had more canned beverage options but they do have drink specials and a good beer list. Just not what I drink in particular.

Maaaaaan I wanted to love this place!!!!…read more First visit ever for me. It's a Monday and I had high hopes. Jazz Night!! We were 2 of 3 people there. I hated to leave but they didn't open until 7, and we had not eaten yet. The food variety is just typical bar food. I wasn't enticed enough to risk it. Service - they really need someone that appreciates jazz to bring the right crowd in. This particular bartender seemed less than thrilled to be there. Ambiance - If they work on that, this place would be a gold mine on Mondays!!! Needs a loungy intimate setting. Small tables in front of the stage along with thick deep read curtains surrounding. We walked into a dead cold bar and odds are we will not be back.

The weather was quite nice Sunday afternoon, so we decided to go and check things out. We ordered a flight of crafted brews: Blimey; Big Fat Boss Baby Mocha; and two Student Body Right and our food choices (limited menu for the soft opening). Because it was so nice out, we decided to occupy one of the tables in the "courtyard" area near the IT5 Food Truck. It did take long and I received a text message indicating our food was ready. We had a Mushroom Swiss Smash Burger w Fries and Chicken Tenders w Cole Slaw. Both food items were very good. The chicken tenders were tender and juicy. The smash burger was done to our liking. Fries were made while we waited. We had been to the Fieldhouse a couple times, but we did not know there was a fire ring set up "in the back 40". Nice touch. Maybe IT5 will utilize some of the additional space out back for more than one food truck? Time will tell...

If it had been there when I was in college we would have been here. Great space inside with an upstairs that seems to get rented out for private parties but no worries because they have an awesome outside patio with cornhole etc outside. Food trucks good selection of beers galore. Along with quick friendly service. I get a wave from most of the bartenders because I been here a time or two. ;). Did I mention they do a lil farmers market thing from 11-3 on Sundays on the patio? I love new places. Eat your heart Earnest Brewery. There's a new sheriff on the south side.

I ordered the "club classic "with french fries and a side of the smoked Gouda mac & cheese. As you can see in the photo of the sandwich is a serious sandwich that was very large and I could only eat half of it. The ingredients were fresh and I loved how toasted the bread was. The mac & cheese was also quite yummy. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.
