    Cheeseburger
    Doug R.

    This is a weak 3-star review. Why? Slow. 65 minutes for two burgers, two beers and one order of onion rings. Inadequate performance for workers on a strict lunch period. Well done burger was well done. Medium rare burger was medium. Hot food served hot. Cold food served cold. Slow. Not busy at lunchtime. Not at all busy. Two waitresses. A tad inattentive. Beer was empty for ~15 minutes before she noticed and inquired if a wanted another. Plenty of time to deliver silverware, napkins and condiments before the food arrived, but that was a missed opportunity. When the food arrived, I retrieved everything myself. Have I mentioned inattentive or slow? Burgers and onion rings were served very hot, thank you. Ingredients were fine, but the usual Sysco or GFS stuff. Will I visit again? Probably not. Duffy's is a bit cheaper and understands us stiffs that are on a tight schedule.

    Walleye Lent special
    Katelyn S.

    Visited during lent on a Friday and ordered the walleye dinner. Very glad I did, it was a huge piece of hand battered fish. On the other hand, the cod is pre-battered and frozen like fish sticks. If you're stopping in for fish I highly recommended the walleye if they have it! Food is always priced well, service is great! One of my fav places to stop for food during the week

    Food is great, but I don't understand why the only have turkey bacon. If you want medium rare, order rare.

    A solid four for me. I see a lot of people casting shade on the bartenders and the wait staff. They…read morerefer to this place in derogatory terms, like dive bar or that they were treated rudely. One person even suggested that they were over served alcohol after bitching about the lack of alcohol in their drinks, which resulted in legal issues for the author of the post. Truly this particular person is probably a moron of the highest level. My experience with the employees here was great and the owner introduced himself to a friend and I. As to the "dive bar" connotation.... It's one of the nicest dive bars I've been in awhile !! The food is good , with large portions and the ambiance screams my kind of place.

    I honestly do not know how this place has such a high review marking. We came here to play pool but…read morethere were people already playing pool so we were going to just eat something at the restaurant. we stood where another couple was just standing before they got sat at a table. We stood there for 4 to 6 minutes before someone even spoke to us and said a table should open up any minute now. 2 ladies at a table were getting up and pointed at us and the table they were getting up at, the insisted we grab it before the table was grabbed (I guess that's how they run things there idk) So when the waitress walked by I explained to her what happened and she only smiled at me (ok) I'm not sure what that means. We waited about 10 to 15 minutes for the table to get wiped down afterwards. Then just sat there still waiting for menus. After the waitress finally gave up the menus we got to ordered. The waitress was taking drinks order's for every table all at once while was in all putting her behind. I use to be a waitress for 15 years I know a thing or 2 I have patience and emphasis with them as they were busy. But this waitress needs a better strategy on how she handles her tables and she might get better and tables won't sit and wait long times for ordering and etc. When we were ready for the bill and a box she brought me the box but no bill.i had to wait 15 minutes for a bill that the other waitress grabbed for us. All and all I will not be back , the food wasn't so good either. The personal pizza seemed like a frozen dough with toppings they just threw on. I did like the steak frys though. Really bad experience here and felt very u welcomed the whole time. There was a couple that walked in after us sat at a dirty table, got it cleaned off got their order in, eat and we were still waiting for our food.

    I want to like Temple Bar because the location is perfect right next to the Masonic Temple. It's…read moreone of those spots you naturally end up at before or after a show, and it has that classic dive bar vibe that could be so good. But if you know crowds are coming when shows let out... you've gotta be ready for it. Two bartenders for a packed bar just wasn't cutting it. I waited about 20 minutes for a drink and eventually just gave up, which is frustrating when you're trying to enjoy a night out. And the one drink I did get earlier honestly looked like a sample cup. The place felt kinda dirty and weirdly quiet (before the rush)? Like super dark (which I get, dive bar) but no music or energy to balance it out. It just felt off. I've been here a few times now hoping it would hit different, but it hasn't yet. If you're the owner reading this, I'd just say plan for those post-show rushes. Even one more bartender and a little boost in atmosphere would go a long way. I'll probably still swing back because of the location, but man... I'd love to actually enjoy it next time.

    Flint has a lot of bars- and this is one of them…read more For certain, it was a heck of a lot better back in the day when it was the Backroom. I went here all of the time as a college student when it was known as the Backroom and later I dropped in once in awhile when it was called Kelly's, until it was sold and became the Loft. Yep, it's a dive bar, always has been and always will be, but the really good old days of the dive bar experience here are sadly gone. As dive bars go, I've seen better and I've seen worse. In fact, if look up the phrase "dive bar," you will probably come across a picture of the Loft. You can't order food here, the "dance floor" is tiny, the music is sometimes good, sometimes not. Don't let me get started on the parking situation- it's terrible and you might as well make a mad dash to wherever you managed to park your car when you leave! It's actually laughable. Some of the cocktails are a bit overpriced for what you are getting (sometimes weak or improperly made), but service largely depends on if you are regular or friend of a friend. Random strangers probably tend to get the short end of the stick. I admit, I've gotten free drinks here before, but that's because the staff knows me. Rodney, the owner, is a great guy, but sometimes the bar runs out of essentials, like premium spirits and mixers. I wish the bar staff would just get it together and make certain that the bar is properly stocked to avoid having to order something alternative because they're out of the appropriate ingredients. Beer selection is just average, but they do carry Stella Artois, one of my favorites, so the Loft has that going for itself. While I don't particularly care for most of their cocktails (either too sweet or extremely tart- so much for a happy medium), the bartenders do make a good mojito and a decent old fashioned, though. My preferred cocktail is a whisky sour, which is pretty easy to make and the last few I ordered kinda sucked. They just didn't taste right, too tart. More often than not, I haven't cared for the vibe, the atmosphere, etc. There are just way too many barfly types hanging around drinking draft beer all night. Plus, I often run into an ex or two here and that's just bad mojo all around...

    I came here with a group of friends, and for a night we owned it. It has a neighborhood feel on a…read moreslow night, laid back, kinda like everyone knows you and you're the cool kid on the block rather than the drama queen. That's how I like it. We just bought round after round after round. They made our car bombs out of Bushmill's whiskey which was a huge plus! I love dive bars and I wouldn't call this one a dive exactly, but the atmosphere is definitely NOT one where you want to drink expensive specialty martinis and eat tapas while toting your designer bag around. It's more like the place that gets really cozy when you go there regularly. Torn jeans, comfy white T-shirt, your busted Cons. I definitely would go do some major chugging with my Flint town crew if I was back around there.
