It still smells of cigarettes, after indoor smoking has been banned for over twenty years. The bathrooms smelled even more like cigarettes. The bar is very typical early 2000s vibe. Everything is vaguely sticky. My daughter was fascinated. On the positive, the food was good and very fairly priced. It looks like drinks are also well priced. We had wings which were good. Cheese curds also very good but a bit overcooked. My daughter's pizza looked pretty mid but she was happy. It took a long time because they were having oven problems but the server was very responsive around it. In general our server was hustling and seemed focused on good experience. I had fun.

We stayed for two rounds only because to use a credit card you have to spend $10. They had a surprising amount of bottled beverages, bud and bud light on tap.

It doesn't seem like a bad place but I can't do the smoke. 1 star because I didn't die, 1 star for the cool bowling game. - 3 stars for smoke and sketchy bathrooms. Also I wouldn't advise lone women to go here. I was the only female. Man after man came through the door. No females. The second review of this place is pretty accurate.

TL;DR Excellent neighborhood bar with better than average food…read more This place is comfortable and friendly, but this is definitely a working man's neighborhood bar...just a little rough around the edges. The decor is all over the place! FOOD: I was impressed by the menu. I have never seen Flaming Saganaki on the menu at a neighborhood bar before! GTSB&G has a bit of a Greek flavor. On the menu, you'll find Greek chicken parm, a legit Greek salad, gyro, and chicken gyro, and Saganaki! I did not ask to see if they have OUZO! I didn't have any of the Greek food, but I will say that the GT burger (hold the bacon, add some mayo) was fantastic. 1/2 pound of tasty beef cooked to a perfect medium well. The toppings were fresh and high-quality. Even the French fries, although a little soggy, were delicious. I didn't drink, but it seems as though there is a pretty average selection of draft beer, maybe above average for the type of bar that this is. SERVICE: The service was pretty good. My food came out pretty quickly and the bar maid was very friendly. As the place started to fill up more, I noticed that she was doing a good job at keeping up with all the orders. So far, so good. 4 stars for now. I will be back to try some the other food. If it compares favorably to the burger, good times we will get another star!

I highly Highly recommend this place. I don't think you'll find a better burger and if you do please let me know where. My new favorite place even if I have to drive 20 minutes to get it.

Now it's a Sunday and the baseball team is playing out of town so it's not that busy down here. But yet we stopped at the corner bar just around the corner called Cock and Bull and everybody's in there having a good time. Music's going and a DJ is getting ready to play. A nice good crowd. We came in this bar and there is literally no one in this bar except us. Now I do remember they have a patio around the back with cornhole but getting drinks in plastic cups on a Sunday afternoon it's not my idea of a good time. Maybe when I was in college but this is not a college bar or is it? The drink prices are more reasonable for downtown and I got a cup of wine in plastic of course for like four or five bucks but no way I'll come here and drink beer on a 90° day in plastic cups. There's no food here and no food trucks on sunday. Just a suggestion to them. It might be a good idea to get a food truck down here and maybe you'll have some customers. The bartender that was there was friendly and the selection was not very good but considering that just went along with the atmosphere.

Honestly I wasn't trying to make much eye contact with anyone in there so I can't give anymore details. We ordered 3 green tea shots. They were large but poured light. Priced OK though. Might be better to visit during the day.

From the time I've come to the classic Lounge till now they've never treat me with nothing but respect. If I'm there by myself there's somebody there to walk me out to my car or at least to the door. In the back they got some good soul food so even if you scared come on in and check out some of them collard greens and the dressing on Sunday not stuffing but dressing on Sunday and whatever else they have to offer. The alcohol is a little bit questionable which is why I would only order wine here but I ain't never been anywhere at a hood bar as folks call it and didn't question the alcohol. You have your nice bartenders and some not so friendly but if they know you they will make sure you were taken care of. Unfortunately just like most places in the city nowadays you're going to have fights and carrying on but it's no different from anywhere else in the world. The food in the back is good so even if you scared come on in and get some of them collard greens on Sunday. Trust me you'll be happy. If you really scared come during the day when Shelley is here.

The only thing I really really don't like about this place is the bathroom. If you put aside the fact that it's small, it's extremely unclean.

Okay people now THIS is a "neighborhood bar." It serves the historic Birmingham neighborhood of East Toledo, but seems very friendly to outsiders (like your's truly). Laice, the bartender was great. Drinks: Strong and well priced. Local booze? Yes! Several products from Toledo Spirits are in da house! Lots of domestic beer, White Claw, canned Bacardi's, etc). Craft beer? Nah. FOOD: Not really yet, but they are working on reopening the kitchen. Right now, however, they do have (LOL) chips, nuts, and beef jerky. And, you can bring in your own food, too. Very comfy atmosphere. TOTAL throwback. Again, THIS is a what a neighborhood bar is supposed to be. Tons of booths...seems like a great place to serve food. RR has pool tables, online Jukebox, keno, etc...everything you'd expect to find in a neighborhood bar. The Rumpus Room. Hey? It is what it is...and for this kind of place, it's 5 stars!

I live in a region with a lot of restaurants per capita, the vast majority of which are mediocre or…read moreoutright bad. They have remained so, unfortunately, because the people who live around here don't know any better, or simply don't care that their dining options are so abysmal. That said, the Rumpus Room is a dive bar that serves food. This is by no means a novel concept, and the bar (no pun intended) certainly isn't set high; however, a lot of bars around where I live manage to screw up simple things. Even worse, there are a few bars that market themselves as "gastropubs," which, in addition to being inaccurate, has the unfortunate side effect of duping some unsuspecting and unknowing diners into believing that they've stumbled upon a real gastropub. And now, a brief interlude... Merriam-Webster defines a gastropub as "a pub, bar, or tavern that offers meals of high quality," which is why it's risible that Ye Olde Durty Bird and Bar 145 think of themselves as gastropubs. This is not necessarily to say that either Ye Olde Durty Bird or Bar 145 serve poor-quality food (they don't) or that they're being intentionally dishonest by associating themselves with the term "gastropub" (they're not). What this is saying, however, is that people in this area wouldn't know a gastropub if one crept up behind them and smacked them across the face. Moving on, the Rumpus Room gets it right. No glamour, glitz, or puffery at 2212 Consaul Street, just good food. Nothing exceptional, mind you; then again, that's perfectly acceptable as long as you're not telling people something to the contrary. The burgers are excellent, and are served with house-made potato chips. On my last visit, I enjoyed a cup of chicken paprikash soup, likely a nod to the surrounding historically Hungarian neighborhood, Birmingham. The only other individual in the bar at the time of my last visit, a man I adjudged to be the proprietor, told me that this coming Friday would feature breaded pork chops, sweet and sour cabbage, and mashed potatoes, which I'm sure will be on par with everything else I've had here. The putative owner also offered that the meatloaf, the recipe for which was his mother's, has pleased everyone who's ordered it. Clearly, I need to order it the next time I'm there. I've only been to the Rumpus Room for lunch, so I can't speak to the alcohol offered; however, I've seen what's there. Draft beer isn't available, but the requisite brands of American lager (e.g., Budweiser, Bud Light) are. Likely owing both to the clientele and the time warp in which the Rumpus Room exists, widely available brands of liquor sit next to bottles of Black Velvet, Queen Anne, Seagram's VO, and, although I don't remember seeing it, I can't imagine there isn't a bottle of Cutty Sark somewhere. Contrary to the Rumpus Room's radio advert on 100.7 The Zone, I wouldn't bring my family here, and, were I single, I wouldn't bring a date here. But I would return - and have - for the friendly atmosphere and the satisfying meals.
