I came prepared knowing the MLB lineups, the menu, and the evenings basketball picks. I arrived just a little after one with the intentions of the Yankee game but, Ohio seemed to cover as a home advantage. My order consisted of nothing crazy. A (22oz) tall boy, Fried pickles, 12ct wings and a double baked potato. I mean, "I was ready!" I had noticed a miner lag for my first beer and pickle appetizers. Later I was informed that the apologies were dear and that she was undertaking a hit and low on hands. Ones service can make or break a review so, be patient. All and all, I drunk three beers and a Long Island totaling me out at roughly eighty dollars. Not too bad for a morning of baseball and beer.

The food is better than you might expect for a sports bar. The burgers are also solid, juicy, and…read morefilling, and the appetizers (especially the loaded nachos) are perfect for sharing. Everything comes out hot and fresh, which makes a big difference. Of course, Twin Peaks is known for its ice-cold beer, and they live up to that reputation. If you're a beer fan, you'll appreciate the variety and just how cold it's served. Service can vary depending on how busy it is, but overall it's usually friendly and attentive, even during peak hours. When it's packed for a big game, expect a little bit of a wait but that's part of the experience.

We finally made it to 859 Taproom, and it's easy to see why it was packed! Thankfully, they offer…read morecall-ahead seating, so we called on our way over and were seated almost immediately when we walked in. The atmosphere is exactly what you'd want from a neighborhood taproom: casual, lively, and family-friendly. The bar is huge, with an impressive selection of draft beers (especially if you're an IPA fan), and they also have bourbon bottles available for purchase. We ordered burgers, and they were all really good. One bun seemed a little stale, but it didn't take away from the overall meal. The cheese curds were a standout: piping hot, crispy, and definitely worth ordering. The beef nachos, on the other hand, were a bit disappointing. They arrived cold and just didn't have the same wow factor as the rest of the food. My sweet potato fries were a little soggy, but I took the leftovers home and popped them in the air fryer the next day, and they turned out fantastic. Overall, I'd definitely go back. If you're looking for a laid-back spot with great burgers, a huge beer selection, and a menu that has something for just about everyone in the family, dog and kid friendly, 859 Taproom is a solid choice.

It seems like a neighborhood bar and grill as parking is on the street only and was tricky to find a spot nearby. The food was OK. It left a little bit to be desired. My grilled chicken strips were very flavorful. My husband had the French Onion soup and it was pretty plain with just a dab of cheese on top. His hamburger was also just OK. Nothing to write home about with the food. We did order the Fudge cake with Graeter's ice cream for dessert. This dessert needed chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and a cherry. It was disappointingly plain. Service was great but the food was lackluster.

The usual adjectives of undiscovered gem, etc. apply. It's situated right in a residential community and 60% of their traffic is local. We went on a Saturday evening when they have live music. Love the music. Not too loud or intrusive and you can actually hear your dining compadres during dinner. The patio area looked enticing, too, and we'll try that on a cooler fall evening. Loved the menu options and the drink selections. The smoked old-fashioned was my favorite and our server, Sydney, relished lighting the fire for it. I even ordered another one because she enjoyed doing it so much. Their specialty is brisket and they do it daily on their smoker outside the kitchen. They're also known for their flatbreads and I selected the Brisket flatbread which was absolutely scrumptious. That followed up on the appetizer of spinach artichoke dip which was some of the best I've had. I can't end this review without commenting on our server, Sydney, with whom we conversed at length over the course of 3.5 hours. She's one of the most interesting, insightful, intelligent young women you'll ever meet. Make sure you come on a night she's working! This will definitely be one of our favorite, local 'go tos'.

This is basically bar food in an expensive looking setting. We both wanted to order their chicken wings, but were told that they only had 10 wings left. Which was puzzling since the place was relatively empty. And speaking of that, we made a reservation online thinking the place would be hopping for dinner. Not so much. I had the taco el pastor. It was good but was basically pulled pork on a corn tortilla with bbq sauce. I also ordered the Brussel sprouts which would have been really good if they weren't drowning in white sauce. I recommend asking for all sauces on the side, btw. TVs on the wall all around the dining room are tuned into blooper reels and trivia. All in all, the menu wasn't intriguing enough for us to want to go back.

My mom has ate at Bourbon & Brew many times and recommended it, so we gave it a shot. This restaurant is centered in the middle of the gaming area. It features quite a bit of tables, bar seating, and limited booths. The booths are reserved for larger parties. They have a spot behind the bar for live music and have a huge TV above the bar for watching sporting events with many other smaller TVs around the whole area. They also have a scrolling board that will show upcoming game times/current scores. The ambiance is good for what it is. It was nice for us, but we were there before any live music and it wasn't super busy so we had a good experience without having to deal with a lot of background noise. Our service was very attentive and nice. The menu is pretty small. A lot of options that previous reviews spoke of are no longer on the menu. They pretty much offer limited appetizers, burgers, and some entrees. I would definitely check the menu before deciding to eat here to make sure there is enough interest across your group. Three of us ordered the Double Smash Burger and my girlfriend went with the caesar salad. The smash burger was good. Pretty much a basic burger, two patties and your typical fixings. It was a huge burger, so I cut mine in half. The burger came with fries as well. The meal with good just average. Nothing really special or over the top about it. I'd eat it again if I was hungry or wanting to watch a game, but not sure that I'd go out of my way to eat it again. My girlfriend said the caesar salad was good as well. The portion was huge, but it had a little too much dressing for her liking. Maybe something they should put on the side and let you put the amount you want. Overall I'd say this is a good option if you're planning on spending a lot of time gaming, betting on horse races, or watching a game at Turfway. If not, I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again unless they offered more options on their menu, had rotating specials, or something that just gave it more appeal to come back. The food wasn't bad at all it just wasn't impressive.
