    a parking lot full of cars

    I wandered into this bar with my sister to meet up with someone who was already at the bar one evening. Writing this review was very hard. I'm not a bar connoisseur and don't really know what elements make a great bar. One thing I can say is that I was not impressed with Bleachers. I prefer my bars with eccentric people and good food. The people who frequent this bar kept to themselves. The drinks were reasonably priced but besides that this bar was pretty depressing. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

    As discussed in my review.  Stay classy.

    Great local bar. Service is always great. Bartenders are fantastic and easy on the eyes. Best wings in town. Pub menu-food is above average.

    Let's get into some great eating guys! I ain't ever been to J Timothy's, but I was recommended…read morethis place at work when I mentioned to some co-workers I would be going to the AMC in town where I got to see the first two episodes of "Lion". Honestly, after reading the reviews, I wasn't too confident I would even be able to eke on in for dinner, but my God was I able to get in, and thank the LORD I was able to find a parking spot with such a full lot of cars! What started as a solo trip to J Timothy's became a welcome table event when fellow Yelper Angie showed up with her husband and invited me over to their table. I'm SO glad we were able to have that happen! It became one of the best post-event dinners I've had yet. It did take a bit of time to decide between the three of us, but we eventually split our checks, with me taking care of my order and Angie taking care of the rest. We had Kate as a waitress, and might I say, she was not only nice and efficient, but she was very knowledgeable of the menu and very helpful and accommodating. I immediately requested a take-out box and she delivered just like that. She was even knowledgeable on what foods and such were made in-house and what wasn't, which is honestly very impressive! Also note, we all got to have a taste of everything that came in tonight, so we got lots of food to get to! We did have the wings for our appetizers. I did the 10-wing Dirt Style Honey BBQ Gold for mine, and they got I wanna say 20(?) Buffalo wings. They were cooked to perfection, and I was able to twist the bones off the flats. Both flavors were good, but even though it could possibly be my bias talking, I did prefer my flavor of wings. I will say the Buffalo had that signature spice level there, but it didn't overpower the wing, which is awesome! Oh, and there were also the potato skins which was rated perfectly, and that tasted really good as well. For the entrees, this is why I immediately requested the box. My order was the full rack of ribs. Angie got the chicken pot pie. Usually, I don't eat pot pies, but the one Angie ordered was honestly very good. Flaky, buttery crust top, and savory filling or chicken, potatoes, peas, etc. As for my ribs, whenever I tried to cut them, all the meat kept falling off the bone! That's how you know it was cooked properly! And dear God were these ribs were delicious, succulent, and delicious! Did I mention they were delicious? The BBQ sauce was a symphony of bliss that helped make each bite of rib taste like I went to Cloud Nine! The coleslaw it came with was good, but it's not something I would say can compete with the South. But good all the same. Drinks were great too. I got the Dragon Fruit Martini(?), and that was sweet and relaxing to have after a long summer and a long drive to Plainville. Oh, and we also got dessert! Again we picked different things: Angie ordered the "Not Fried Chicken" while I went with the Key Lime Pie. Wherever these guys get their key lime pie from, keep them coming and let me know so I can get some more myself! The raspberry sauce was a great choice for accompaniment and complimented the pie nicely. And the slice was divine! The Not Fried Chicken is a very innovative idea, and it tasted good as well. I can see now why this place gets so much love. It's insane how good this place is in just about every aspect! The sink did take a bit to learn, but that was about my only criticism, other than that this place easily gets 5 stars from me, and I am so glad to have had this dinner with Angie and meet her husband. #KeepYelping

    I always try to make it a trip trip out to J. Timothy's Tavern when I visit back in the northeast…read more Ordered both the Gold BBQ and Buffalo flavors dirt style, and they were absolutely delicious and dank as per usual. The Gold BBQ wings were my favorite--crispy, sticky, and packed with flavor. They had the perfect balance of sweet, smoky, and tangy without being overpowering. The Buffalo wings were excellent too, with a classic sauce that had just the right amount of heat and a great buttery finish. The wings came out crispy even after being sauced, which is harder to do than most places make it look. Service was friendly, the atmosphere felt like a classic neighborhood tavern, and you can tell they've been doing this for a long time. If you're anywhere near Plainville and like wings, this place is definitely worth the stop. I'll be thinking about those Gold BBQ wings for a while.

    Had plans to go to another place nearby, but they had a long wait when we arrived so my parents,…read morewho had been here before, suggested this instead. It seemed perfect at first. Lots of good options on the menu, clean and well decorated, and our party of 6 was immediately sat at 6 on a Saturday night. Service was very slow and the food came out in waves. The waitress said they got slammed and while it had gotten busier, they seemed like they were filled a normal amount and let's be honest it was a Saturday night, it's when a restaurant should be at its busiest. We had a number of mehs about the food but these were the main ones. My mom's salmon salad came out significantly after everyone else's and included a few items she'd asked for on the side. She did say the salmon itself was excellent. My wife and I both ordered truffle fries but neither came with them (not sure if we were charged or not). I'd ordered a side of blackberry bbq sauce that sounded excellent but it never materialized and it seemed too bothersome to ask. My Bodega Chopped Cheese sandwich was absolutely terrible. I can allow for some creative freedom in cooking but it was terrible execution. A dry hamburger patty cooked in full cut into a few chunks, and thrown on a massive roll with a slice of raw cheese over it. I've been wanting to try these for years and there were no photos of this dish on here, had I seen it I would have ordered something else. Maybe we caught them on a bad night or ordered wrong and I hate leaving negative reviews, but I don't think I'll be coming back.

    We recently moved close by and have stopped here after work a couple times now- bartenders have…read morebeen friendly, there's darts (2 boards) and pool (1 table). Decent beers, decent cheese curds, decent wings ($1 per wing on Wednesdays). Planning on coming back soon for a Tuesday trivia night and trying some more wing flavors. One of the times we went an amateur dart league group was there so that was fun to watch while chilling at the bar. The people next to us got some sliders that looked tasty so I'd like to try those also. No complaints so far!
