    We came for a Saturday lunch and had a great experience. We were greeted and seated quickly. The place is open and airy. They sometimes have live music, but that is not usually a lunch thing. The food is casual dining and pub fair. We were a party of 6 and everyone had good things to say about the food quality. Average entrees were 17-20 dollars. The refills on drinks were a tad bit slow, but that was a minor thing. Overall, we had a great experience and will be coming back.

    Blind squirrel always has amazing service and excellent staff! I enjoy the events they host and the food they serve is my most favorite bar restaurant! They have a vball area which is really neat to watch live games while you eat and chill vibes all around!

    We visited on a Sunday evening and were able to find both parking and a table right away, which made for a relaxed start. The nachos were generous in portion, perfect for sharing, and tasted great. The wings were nicely crispy and very satisfying. The service was exceptionally friendly. I will definitely be coming back.

    We came here for NYE. It was a fun night. For $20 we got "$500" in gaming chips. We could exchange each $100 chip for. Raffle ticket. We got there about 7:05 and the doors opened at 7. We had to wait outside in the freezing cold for about $20 while they checked people in. I'm not sure why it took so long but it did. We were sat and got a table as soon as we paid our $20 cover charge. We ordered drinks and food pretty quickly. The food was ok. I got the buffalo chicken wrap. It could have used more buffalo sauce, but it was otherwise good. My husband got a burger. It looked much better than it tasted. The meat was just lacking seasoning. If they would have properly seasoned the meat it would have been great. The beers were good, but expensive. The draft beers were between $10-$13. The $10 mixed drink "buckets" were tasty and worth their price however. I'm not a fan of Elvis music but the Elvis they had doing the live entertainment was pretty good. We had fun with the "gambling". They had roulette and black jack, but only 2 tables of each so they were a little crowded. We ended up playing roulette and I found out I quietly enjoy playing it. They abruptly ended the gambling portion at 11 but no one knew they were stopping at 11 until they stopped so we were all a little disappointed. Overall, it was a fun time and we will probably come back.

    The live music was great... the food was amazing... friendly & attentive staff. My family loved the atmosphere. It's a very large lace with lots of activity going on with different sports. A very fun & entertaining venue. See could have stayed for hours.

    2/11/2026 We took 13 of our Swan Pointe HOA Residents to Blind Squirrel for dinner. In case you're not familiar with Blind Squirrel, it's a popular American Restaurant and Sports Bar known for its large outdoor patio, sand volleyball courts, live music and extensive bar with bourbon and beers. I'm thinking that about 9 of our party of 13 had Fish and Chips. It came with 2-3 pieces of fish, a small portion of Coke Slaw, 3 Hush Puppies and another side of your choice. My husband chose Onion Rings. ( they were really good with no grease.) I had 3 Mini Cheeseburger Sliders and I was able to choose a side. There are free sides and premium sides for $2.00 more. Other selections that were available was Burgers, Pizza and Appetizers. Our server, Misty was fabulous and did a great job taking care of all of us. Our food was brought out very quickly considering how many of us there was. She was so friendly and was one of the best servers ever! We'd love to have Misty again. Their GM, Rod Young wasn't there that night, but he has certainly trained an excellent staff. There was a big crowd last night but the noise volume was around medium. We had a great time and enjoyed our food! Go stop by and see the restaurant for yourself. Robyn

    I am ashamed to admit that I have only recently tried Double Dogs, despite it being located in my…read moreback door. However, I have already returned once after my initial visit and am sure that my husband and I will be frequent flyers. The ambiance is sports bar with (unless I miscounted) 33 large TVs, the bar, garage doors that open to the outside patio where 4-legged friends are welcome, friendly and efficient service, and best of all, they support the Kentucky Humane Society. Oh, and that tagline though- "Sit. Stay. Eat." Despite the sports bar ambiance, it is definitely child/family friendly. On both my visits (lunch time) there were many families enjoying their lunch. The menu is expansive with the burgers and hot dogs being the main call, but also includes, wings, sandwiches, pizza, and so much more. I opted for the 'breakfast burger' which included the burger, cheese, onions, bacon, and a fried egg. Honestly, one of the best burgers I have had in a long time. I substituted green beans for the included fries, which I often do when eating out. Typically, I end up with a small bowl of what is akin to baby-food vegetables! Not the case here. The green beans were whole and perfectly cooked with a mild crunch and had a delicious seasoning. Talk about being pleasantly surprised. Folks, this is not your 'typical' bar food! This stray dog will definitely return, and I may get a microchip that reads "return to Double Dogs if found."

The last time I was there I had the Breakfast Burrito and loved it, but I prefer it without the Pico de gallo. It comes with Chopped bacon, three eggs scrambled, cheddar and jack cheeses, pico de gallo and fries all wrapped in a flour tortilla. It's really great! My husband had the Bacon Cheeseburger. Single hamburger patty topped with one slice of American cheese, two slices of hickory smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato and Duke's® Mayonnaise. He also likes The Bo' Burger. It's hard for him to choose. The Bo' Burger has grilled onions, American Cheese, lettuce, tomato & pickles and a Special Sauce! For $4.00 more you could have a double Bo' Burger. In fact they have 9 different hamburgers to choose from, 5 different sandwiches, 9 Starters, and more. You can even buy your dog some handmade dog treats. Our granddog, HashBrown really liked them. This night Baseball, Softball and Harness racing was on and there was quite a few families gathered inside the restaurant and a lot of friends eating outside with their fur friends. It was a nice volume in the restaurant. Our food came very quickly, Sebastian was a great server. Every time he passed by our table, he smiled and checked on us. I also kept thinking that he really looked like someone I had met before. When he brought us our ticket, I saw that his name was Sebastian and I remembered that he had waited on us a year or two ago, twice! He even remembered us! He was such a great server then and now that I had done 3 reviews on him. Good job Sebastian! Robyn

Other diners chose the Pina colada and also a Friday cocktail special of Holy Water, which included blue curaçao. Feedback was mixed. We started with 1/2 pound of hot and spicy peel and eat shrimp and a dozen oysters. Great preparation and taste. It was apparently all so good and we had such a great time that we forgot to take photos of the food. We shared steamer bowls and a captain's platter. This allowed for a variety of crab legs, steamed oysters, sausages, corn, red potatoes, garlic Parmesan bread, shrimp, grouper, onion rings, clam strips, along with butter, tartar sauce, and cocktail sauce. We had arrived famished and we all left satiated and carrying out To Go boxes. Our server was fantastic, helping us relocate inside when the storm popped up, and very attentive through our entire visit. Looking forward to future visits and more great seafood.

What else was great was that we were sitting across from Ralph, who has been studying the game and now we know, he's an expert. Our server tonight was Clay and let me tell you, he did a great job. He had a lot of energy and never slowed down all night. He went around and got our drink orders and our appetizer orders. They have Happy Hours from 3:00 until 6:00, so we all rushed in to get there before it was over. They have appetizers from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm. The prices range from $3.00 - $6.00. There are also Happy Hours prices on some drinks. Check their app for details. We looked over our menus and they had quite a bit of choices. Both kinds of Wings, a variety of Chicken, many types of Burgers , and Salads that were really fresh. I had a Patty Melt on Toast. It had Swiss and American cheese, Bacon and 2 Smashed Hamburger patties. I had them leave off the onions. I loved the burger. I chose the side salad. It was so delicious. My husband had the All American Burger. He thought it was really good. He chose Onion Rings as his side. Looking around the table, a lot of people chose Hamburgers, Wings, Cheese and Dip. We really had a great time and I have to brag on Clay one more time. He did the best job with taking care of 13 people at our table plus a pretty good amount of people at the tables behind us. We also want to thank their GM, Tina Suddeth, for being a Big Supporter of Swan Pointe.

We ordered the ultimate nachos and they tasted like generic tortillas you would get at a gas station. Not impressed at all. They did have a pickle hot pepper that was very tasty. I ordered the Crispy Buffalo Chicken Salad and it was ok. It all came down to the chicken. It just wasn't that great. The girls got boneless wings they didn't eat a lot. I don't like the feeling of paying $70+ for three people feeling like we couldn't went through a drive thru and had tastier food. The 3 stars are for the atmosphere and the service which was great.
