The drinks were great and the selection was plentiful. We didn't have any food, but everyone in our group had a couple different drinks and the server never made us feel like we were staying too long or a bother. The screened in upstairs deck gives you the best of all worlds. Fresh air, protection from the sun or rain, and no bugs all while still feeling like your outside, because you kind of are. The trek up the steps isn't awful - there is probably an elevator somewhere. Fun, casual vibe, great music at a level you can still enjoy conversation, a gem of the city.

After we ordered she came back and apologized again that they were out of two of our orders. Our Bang Bang shrimp was tail on under sauce and seeds. She gave us 25% off but I'm still unimpressed.

We got there around 1pm and it was packed, but comfortable. We snagged the last available table and appreciated the good selection of beer and cider. Service was friendly and fast too. Which was good since we were starving. Fried pickles and cheese curds were fresh and not at all greasy. I always appreciate when a kitchen knows how to handle their frying oil. We split the fried apps and a karaage rice bowl for a fine lunch to launch us into the rest of the weekend. I would totally go back to this place.

So I want to be cautious here as I know there is new ownership from what I heard. My wife and I…read morecame here spontaneously as we were in town for the weekend. When we ordered, the bartender didn't drink which made it hard to know what certain beers taste like, but honestly, no judgement because he did the right thing and offered tastes of beer which was awesome and helpful! So service wise I would say great! The beer tasted really good as well and was decently priced. They had a bourbon barrel stout which was pretty good and newly released. The biggest issue we had was with the food. I ordered the spam sandwich with chips and my wife ordered the chicken quesadilla. While the food was cheap, the quality of the food also seems that way too based off what we ordered. The spam sandwich was supposed to be teriyaki flavored, and didn't get any of that. There wasn't a lot of thousand island dressing on it too, which made the sandwich dry. The chips that were served were clearly out of a bag as they were cold, which made it seem like I could have just gotten a bag myself. I would have paid a few dollars extra to get something fresh like fries. While spam comes from a can and I know this, my wife's chicken quesadilla had chicken that was clearly from a can - it was sopping wet, and the meat was very chunky, and very salty. This made us worry the rest of the food may not be very fresh. While we did have that experience, I will say the pretzel bites were really good and did seem fresh, and they were sourdough! So that was nice. I think this place has very good beer, and a really cool bar setup with a nice stage, arcade machines, and much more. However, I wouldn't come back here for lunch. Instead, I would make food at home. I would highly recommend more fresher options, and I would pay a little more for better quality food.

I love a good dive bar with a popcorn machine. Nate and I just sat at the bar and had a drink before our dinner reservations. The bartender was super nice and friendly, and gave me a recommendation of a drink I'd never had before. The playlist was awesome and not super loud, and we got to catch some of the Olympics on the TVs at the bar. They do serve food at this bar, which I'd be interested in trying. I'd definitely come back to Dillinger's in the future, and if I lived nearby, it would be a go-to spot for me.

Secondly the waitress could not care less that we were there. No hi, thank you, goodbye etc she was basically a mute.

Since they allow dogs, we walked down there and had dinner. We only had a few minute wait so they could set up our table and then we were seated. You order at the counter so we got an order of spinach dip and the one of their flatbread pizzas. The pizza was good! Service was a little slow but it was a Saturday night. Unfortunately we never got our spinach dip. A girl came around and said it was sent out and then given to another table. They also said they'd refund it but I've still yet to see a refund on my credit card. I even asked the bartenders about it and they said they'd take care of it but still nothing. So I guess I'm out the money. I'd recommend d the place but their wait staff seems a bit chaotic and frazzled so I guess just be prepared for that.
