There is on street parking and an adjacent lot. They offer a wide variety of their own brews plus guest options like ciders and sangria (I love that they offer my favorite Ace Pineapple on tap). They have some seasonal brews and their standard staples. Both tap brews and cans are available. Various size glasses to choose from, as well as flights. The staff is just the best. Everyone is friendly and accommodating. Even though this is a new location, there doesn't appear to be a lot of staffing hiccups that you tend to find upon opening. They have only recently opened and we have been many times, we look forward to coming back!

Talked to a bartender today and he said they are working on a second floor bar right now (there are also 2 Airbnbs upstairs).

There is an onsight BBQ joint as well. Excited for warmer weather to enjoy their patio. Overall a great asset to Hannibal!

We had one of the most enjoyable meals of our lives here! Service was friendly with a smile and many patient answers for our many questions. Turns out we love Turkish food. We had only had it once or twice before. LaBinnah Bistro is simply magnificent! We started with the Dolma appetizer. I have a soft spot for grape leaves, and these were outstanding! Definitely top three that I've ever had. My wife had the Istanbul shrimp and she loved them. Her boiled potatoes and asparagus were cooked exactly to her liking. I had the Saç Tava, which is Turkish stirfry beef with yellow peppers and tomatoes. I think there was some garlic in it. It was served with the best saffron rice I've ever tasted. We were completely spoiled with this Turkish home cooking. SO GOOD! We had a delicious and reasonably priced bottle of wine and the Godiva tall chocolate cake for dessert. It was moist and delicious but not overpoweringly sweet. Look at my photos of the interior of this place it's just charming and quaint. So lovely.

Fantastic little bbq joint with a great atmosphere. I had the pulled pork with baked sweet potato (with butter & brown sugar!), and hubby had the sampler snacker platter (ribs, tips, brisket and pulled pork). The pulled pork was juicy and tender with just the right amount of smokiness. I tasted the ribs from hubby's order and they were amazing! He loved everything on the plate, leaving just one rib behind - portions are generous and he was just too full. Sweet Christina was pleasant and professional with just the right touch of friendly. Would definitely recommend and will be back on our next trip through Hannibal. read more

I wish I could give more stars. This place has THE BEST, THICKEST, JUICIEST, RIBS I HAVE EVER HAD! They're reasonably priced and the sauce that comes with them is to die for. The owner is the nicest guy! Talking with him is like talking to an old friend! He keeps you entertained, and makes sure he does everything he can to make you happy.

The place is so confident of its product that even though Yelp lists it as "CLOSED" because it has changed locations (now slingin' first rate Q at 320 N Third Street), the owner has made no effort to correct the oversight (or get it listed on TripAdvisor).

The owner and the other diners were all very friendly, and they gave us, two Chinese travelers just passing through, plenty of warm greetings and kind attention. I especially want to emphasize how clean the place was. The forks and knives were wrapped in napkins and even sealed with a sticker. It was a very standardized and thoughtful practice that immediately made us feel reassured. As for the food, I personally thought the salad was very good and a nice option for keeping calories under control. I ordered the fried cod and fries -- probably a mistake on my part, since I had simply wanted some seafood -- and for a moment it almost made me feel like I was back in the UK. My companion ordered the steak medium rare. As Chinese diners, we are not particularly used to meat cooked that way, but we still finished it. The quality of the meat was good, though it was a little too fatty for us. That is one of those things a typical Chinese stomach can sometimes struggle with. The whole place had a warm, lived-in vibe. The menu said the restaurant had been around since 2001, so that makes 25 years now. You could see little traces of that history throughout the décor, and I really loved that.
