Old school dive bar in town. Good shot and a beer spot! The food is pretty good too, just bar food and some pizzas, but tasty with a cold beer. The crowd has changed a bit over the years, but it's casual and comfortable. read more

Stopped my on the way home. Enjoyed the music. Wing's were really good and hot. The Bloody Mary was great but they forgot to put the pickles, olives etc in it brought them later on a skewer. Kept saying they were swamped not sure what was meant by that considering lots of empty tables. Maybe it was just an off night. I'll be back again to try again. read more

Stopped by here Saturday for lunch. The place was about half full with an active bar crowd. We both ordered a beer that came in a cold mug which I enjoyed I ordered the chicken finger basket with fries and my wife ordered the chicken finger salad. My chicken fingers were really good and a huge amount of chicken. It was a full breast cut into three pieces covered with a great batter. They came with curly fries. My wife loved her salad. Fresh greens with chopped vegetables and cheese. Have not been to Lamasco Bar in years. read more

We went there for the special today and it was definity warmed up for the third time. The meatloaf was horrible and the roll was as hard as a rock. The restaurant was filthy and the tables were sticky. I saw the brooms near the bar and they were black with dirt. We were the only customers there. We left most of the food on the plates. We paid our bill and left to never return again. read more

I left a review about a month or so ago and it was great. I'm here to take it back. Wemt to dinner with friends and spent over $100 on an app and wine. Plus a $40 cover, Then they bring out the heavy metal bands. Absolutely no way to enjoy dinner. they ran out the people who can afford to eat and have an enjoyable meal. read more

Never answer phone and menu never stable. When trying to make party reservations not able to so had to go elsewhere.

LOVED the fired pork tenderloin, superb. Just don't get the fired pickles if you're a pickle person. They are super thin, overly salty like added salt in batter too and for the $7+ you get collectively prob 1 pickle for as thin as they are. read more

Went to see Afroman. Tickets said 6:30 pm and at 10pm he still wasn't on stage! The "local" talent was awful! Will never go here again! Burgers were terrible,but the curly fries were good. Bartender didn't know how to make mixed drinks,yet had been a bartender for a couple years she said. Doubtful! Waste of money!! Any bar with entertainment is better than this place! Don't waste your money here!!! read more

Went to a local bar to grab some brews and food on Wednesday after work. Lamasco is on Franklin's street where there are plenty of other great food and dining options, it's pretty easy to get in and out of with parking at the side and behind the building. It's pretty hard to miss it. Walking in it looks like your standard dive-ish bar... there's a bar to your right as you walk in then plenty of seating past that with a fairly substantial stage in the corner. Wednesday is apparently trivia night so be prepared for that, a decent number of tables were playing and the questions were decent, though a far cry from geeks who drink quality of questions and pacing. The waitress was very nice, but seemed overloaded with the amount of orders we were / other tables were placing (though I wouldn't necessarily say things were super busy?). Took us an hour or so to get our wings and pizza. They have a limited draft beer selection so be prepared for that. In terms of food, their pizzas were pretty decent. The wings were fried well, but I was not a big fan of the sauces (buffalo too tangy, bbq too sweet). The blue cheese and ranch dipping sauces were standard, but still good. Potato skins were nothing to write home about, taco salad not what you expect from the south, onion rings were ok. Come for the drinks, atmosphere, and maybe some small bites - go somewhere for real food. read more

The food here surprised me for bar food. It also had a great LGBTQ+ friendly atmosphere. My only complaint was the karaoke DJ who told us it would be an hour wait to sing so we put in our songs and waited over an hour and watched him skip us and let the same people up over and over so I asked him why and he said that people who "tip" him get moved up on the list! Never have I been asked to tip a KJ usually they ask us to tip the bartenders! read more

Ok! Ok! So it's a bar, sure, very bar-y, very bar-y activities (karaoke night is my favorite, btw‍),,, but BUT! The FOOD IS ACTUALLY DELICIOUS!!--No drunkenness required. Mostly because: Lamasco's has the best fries in the city. Hands down. Cannot say that enough, to enough people,,, at least once a week,,, (maybe twice a week),,, Look. It comes up, OK? The friiiiies. That is all. (I mean, there's more, but mostly:) The FRIES. read more

Oh, Lamasco... My friends who are local to Evansville love you and are always wanting to come visit. Their attachments to times when service/servers were even somewhat decent keeps them coming back with hopes that it will improve but as an out-of-towner I have left unimpressed and tbh still kinda hungry. Last weekend we went to Lamasco for Sunday brunch after my friend's bachelorette party, we weren't a huge party, just a 7 top. The only things we received quickly were our waters. After getting the first round of waters however, everything moved as slow as possible. 30+ minute wait to order, followed by an hour wait before our food materialized. After 50 minutes I asked our waiter what was up and surprisingly (not) food showed up soon there after. The food is decent but the poor service makes it entirely forgettable. I can vouch for the cheese cubes and my friends sing praises about the breakfast burritos. read more

This place has lots of character. We went for lunch. Waited about 30 minutes before the waitress came over and asked if we had been helped. The waitress was kind and attentive after she initially came over. No one working seemed super concerned about running a restaurant/bar, more just hanging out and having fun. Had the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich with curly fries. Very good. Would come back again. Don't go in expecting fast efficient service. We were just hanging out so it wasn't a big deal. It's more of a laid back bar. read more

Lamasco's is a place my husband & I go to for drinks with his old friends when we are in town from California. The first time I went here must have been 4 years ago, and it was literally a hole in the wall. The following year they had expanded & I was impressed. It's not a fancy place, but it certainly is fun. Inexpensive, string drinks, good service & good wings & appetizers... at least that's what I remembered. The crowd is an interesting variety. I've seen young & old, different colors & life styles. Oh! And they also have bands & karaoke. Definitely coming back next time we are in town! read more

Arrived at 5:15 on Tuesday 2/22/22 for Cajun food. Live band was so loud it was uncomfortable. Ordered jambalaya. Drinks arrived in plastic cups and food in styrofoam cup with plastic fork. Food was inescapable and tasted like was days old left without eating Do not go here and expect good Cajun read more

I walked in and noticed an old mildewy smell, oh well-big whoop I'm here for the drinks and food not the ambiance. Had a Moscow mule and cosmo (the bartender was excellent, knew how to make a damn fine drink and was sweet). Would def return for the best Moscow mule in all of Evansville. read more

This is a breakfast review. Came in for breakfast while I was waiting on an oil change. The server was overwhelmed. Waited about 25 minutes for toast, eggs, gravy, and sausage. Never got it. Left a few bucks on the table for my drink plus tip. Server (to her credit) caught me on the way out to offer me to pack it to go. I declined. I let her know I left $ on the table. Oil change at Reis took less time than a basic breakfast. The extra star is for the server who I know was suffering thru a c-squad kitchen. Breakfast is basic. Kitchen needs serious help. Won't go back until I hear they got it. read more

I have been here twice, and this seems like it is a good place to go and get a drink with friends. They have live music occasionally, and there is a cover to get in. The serving staff is very friendly, but seems like they are used to their regular crowd. My friend and I asked a few questions, the server gave us a weird look as she answered them. The food doesn't look to spectacular. Pizza, burgers, and other bar classics. I really liked the space inside. It was clean, well designed, and unique. I would go here if I wanted to get a drink with a friend, but that would be it. read more

Best bar in Evansville! Definitely the best place for live music. Feels like my 2nd home any time I get the chance to return!

There were 9 of us for a late lunch. No one came to our table for 30 minutes. We had to ask for service. After almost 2 hours our food came out one order at a time. Food was cold and portions were not equal. We got lots of apologies but no real results. We confirmed owner was there and asked to speak to her but she refused. We will never ever go back and will never suggest Lamasco to anyone. read more

I have visited this restaurant two times now, the first time being okay at best and the second time being absolute garbage. The first time, there were probably around four tables filled and it still took about 20 minutes just to be asked about drinks, and well over an hour to receive food for two people. The second time, we were kicked out as soon as we found a table and sat down - which is another thing, this place was absolutely packed and we almost didn't find a table. For some reason, you cannot eat at this restaurant at 7pm if you're under 21? Time restraints for a restaurant/bar is ridiculous, we weren't asking for alcohol, we just wanted to eat. Overall, the food was alright when I got to eat, but terrible business practices are a deal breaker, friends. read more

I went for a social event, Flamenco dancing and Spanish food. We do not live in Evansville so we had to get a hotel I was really looking forward to the event and the Flamenco was wonderful. What disappointed me was they ran out of the Spanish wine that had been advertised as being available within a half hour of the seating time. Since this is a bar and grill they really should have planned better. The food was catered by the Dapper Pigg and it was ok but I am familiar with Spanish food and had I selected the menu I would have had a selection that traveled better since it was not prepared onsite. It was ok but could have been better. Again the dancing was phenomenal but I could have stayed home and seen the dancers since the dance academy is in my hometown. Service was good! Nice and friendly wait staff. I guess I just had high expectations. read more

The food here isn't good enough for them to have such bad service. Not that I ate any food on this visit. We waited for 40 minutes with no server visit to our table. Yelp isn't going to like this lack of detail, but I don't have much to add other than no one ever came over to our table. They knew we were there, because we asked where we could sit. There were two servers for the entire restaurant... on Memorial Day. They also didn't warn us that service would be slow when we sat down with a table of eight. I would avoid this place unless you enjoy sitting in a dirty room for no reason. read more

Best brunch in town! My favorite Sunday morning spot. Update: Pizza and chicken sandwiches are great. Good beer specials too read more

Lamasco is a great west side institution. They have a good selection of craft beer and know how to pour it. This means beer to the top of the glass...no foam! The food is good but with the exception below, not special. It is mostly bar food but they do serve breakfast all day. Their omelet is huge and delicious! They also have some coffee drinks but I haven't tried them yet. They very good bands on the weekends and a band that plays early on Fridays...like 5 pm. read more

Lamasco Bar and Grill - This is how to pour a beer! - Bars Near Me - Evansville, Indiana

Great service, Great drinks. Waitstaff is very attentive and accommodating - Izzy is our server and she is KILLING IT.

This is rapidly becoming my favorite bar in Evansville. It straddles the fine line between neighborhood bar and nightclub perfectly. The live music is some of the best you'll ever find. I'm talking about original music. None of the typical cover bands you normally see in bars of this variety. The $5 pitchers of Coors is the best beer deal anywhere in town. The staff and patrons are lively and kind. I always leave with the feeling that I've made new friends. read more

Great food good service strange though. This is the only bar I have ever eaten out where the waitress bragged that they power was the parking watch regularly. Humm tough neighborhood? read more

This place will add on 120%+ gratuity without your knowledge or permission and then they will lie straight to you about how they will fix it. Pay close attention to your statement. This place is committing credit card fraud and should most definitely be investigated. read more

Lots of fun, saw Rumpke Mountain Boys, had chicken sandwich and fries was very good, hubby got the sliders, had $5 pitchers of Coors and $8 pitchers of wells!!! Sound of the band was great and small and cozy! Employees were very friendly and kept checking to make sure you didn't need anything. Will definitely go back read more

Great place "dive bar style" The staff knows what they are doing and is a fun loving bunch. The food is good and they have live music on the weekends. $5 cover. I am not sure how I feel about the new expansion they did. I kinda preferred it when it was cozier. All and all a great place to go with lots of interesting people to talk to. :) read more

We go to Lamasco's to sing karaoke every Wednesday night. The building is large on the inside and has plenty of room to move around. There is even a patio available to move the party outside. The food is great but sometimes (depending on the amount of people there) it can take awhile to get your food. There are some nights where the venue is extremely crowded which can make it difficult to maneuver. The bartenders are great! They do the best job they can. They have several different DJs for different nights, a good variety. The stage is quite large and can accommodate larger group sizes. They also have open mic nights and band nights. We have been extremely satisfied with our experiences at Lamasco's and will continue to hangout there weekly! read more

Was referred to this place by a friend, and it did not disappoint! The band that came up first was awesome, and the female vocalist brought the house down! She excelled as the lead and was great support for the male vocalist! They did about 6 or 7 songs! I was expecting more friends, and it was unfortunate that they couldn't attend! I missed the opportunity of seeing them. Shit happens and I understand, as I am sure they do. However, I had a ball! The new waiter, Charlie, was nothing less than stellar! The wait staff was excellent, but Charlie proved to be a "cut above," the rest! He was attentive, gave excellent service and was very easy on the eyes! I only hope I tipped him accordingly! I was not stingy, and he said what I intended to tip him was, "Ok," I gave him five dollars more! I will seek him out the next time I visit this establishment! The drinks were good, and reasonably priced. They were also fairly strong! The deluxe appetizer plate was wonderful, and the food was good! I love the beer battered mushrooms! They also have an outside seating area, which is quite nice! I must give kudos to their security! I informed him that my friend had too much to drink, and I asked him to help me get him to the car! He said he would. I drove the car to the side door, and he not only hot him into his car seat, but made sure he was buckled in! I am in love with Charlie! I am in love with this place! If you like live bands, hood food, and great service . . . Here is where you want to be! read more

This place seemed pretty cool. Small bar. Lots of tables n chairs, for live music. They have food but I didn't try it. The patio was nice. Might have to return if a good band plays. read more

LaMasco Bar & Grill has been a favorite of mine for years. I was when I heard that it had changed owners but Amy has made it her own. She has updated the decor and made it more band friendly and the food, drink, and service are still tops. If you are looking for a nice place for a drink and even just a bite to eat. Stop in and see them. read more

This is a great establishment! Over the years I've been coming they have added onto their building and have brought a lot more live entertainment with it. Their food has been improving as well over the past years and now it's pretty damn good! They have breakfast all day if you want as well. The service is great, but can get a little hectic on the weekends at night. The bartenders are all great and friendly. read more

Best bar in Evansville! Amy has a knack for finding amazing musicians; I've never heard bad music there. Staff is wonderful and the crowd is eclectic. Thier menu is pretty great too -- and they serve until the bar closes. If you've never you are missing out! read more

Good music! Good food! Good drinks! Nice atmosphere. The renovation has really made the place much more spacious.

Great place for music and the food is good too. You won't find better live music in town. Lamasco Bar and Grill is a great find and Amy does a great job of mixing up the talent. read more

Has great food, but was in there earlier today and the owner was in there having meeting with staff and was probably one of the worst times I have been in there. Just my fiancee and I and took them over 20 minutes to take our orders. While that was in the process the owner was cussing and yelling about orders and how slow it is and how to get more people to come in. Well for one, don't be like that when you have customers in the building let alone right behind you. We were planning on spending some time there, but that was getting us very angry. So we just left. But oh well, won't be getting my money no more. read more
