We had some questions about different ingredients in the drinks and they thoroughly explained everything to us. We tried a regular old fashioned and the pig roast. These are typically not drinks I would go for but WOW incredibly delicious. Definitely a fun spot to branch out and try something new. We will definitely be back to try some of their food, but highly recommend for some good cocktails

We've been to Bridges & Bourbon twice now. The first time, we were seated in one of the outdoor…read moreigloos with a party of 4. Unfortunately, it felt very cramped and we really struggled to fit comfortably. We were told there weren't any other tables available, so we ended up leaving. We decided to give it another try and made reservations for inside seating next to the bar. This experience was much better. The drinks were very creative and tasted great. My main course -- the tenderloins -- was cooked well and overall very good, although it came with a berry jam that felt a little odd for the dish and wasn't really my favorite pairing. Overall, the cocktails and atmosphere inside made for a much better second experience.

So here's my MO. Whenever I go somewhere, I always ask the server for a recommendation. Why?…read moreBecause they're the experts! Also, I've a hard time making decisions so I'm cheating! DRINKS: something sweet and or fruit. FOOD: what would you feed a hungry football player? Someone who likes savory/ flavorful dishes but can't do "too spicy." Now that you know, we can continue our tipsy yelping. UPDATE: Butcher and the Rye closed 12/2020 due to covid-19 pandemic's tour of fine dining destruction. The location reopened 12/02/22 as Apres Ski Bar while the Butcher and Rye concept is reignited. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've been here before and the food was delicious. It was about 2+ years ago, so I'd be lying if I told you what I ate. However, my subconscious causes my mouth to water when I think about eating here. Make that bit of information what you will. Yesterday I was out for drinks. The night's vict-- server was Erin. She recommended the Snowfall in Montego Bay. She made an excellent recommendation. It was made of a clove infused Jamaican rum, banana, cinnamon, rosemary, honey coconut, and apple cider. The blend of flavors was well-balanced and helped prevent any one flavor dominating the drink. So if you don't like any of the listed ingredients you should be safe to order because they all worked in harmony to prevent offending your palate. In the meantime, I need to make sure to return for dinner again.

I went on Friday evening for their new Spookeasy Halloween themed pop up bar. It was opening day of…read moretheir new concept so I expected it to be super busy which it was. The five of us put our name in on the waitlist and proceeded to wait outside. I checked in not too long later and was told we were first on the list to get in. It started pouring rain and they were nice enough to let us wait in the entrance on the sides so that we didn't get soaked. They then proceeded to move us to the side of the bar where the entrance is into Tako, took our drink orders and my friend's card for the tab, and then told us that we would get our drinks and get seated shortly. We waited....then waited....then waited some more. It was not a great spot to put us since staff members kept walking from Butcher to Tako and back. We finally asked them if we could just got sit in Tako and get out drinks there since we were attending an after party there afterwards anyways. They said yes and let us go to the Tako side. After quite some time we got our drinks delivered to us at Tako and they were lazy in my opinion. I absolutely loved Apres Ski Bar and The Lost Cantina (the previous two pop up concepts there this year) so I badly wanted to love Spookeasy but it was not it for me. Pretty much all the drink were just drinks from the Lost Cantina tiki concept with a skull put in it or just a changed name. My friend and I split the Science Fiction Double Feature and it was almost unbearably sweet (although I did appreciate the popcorn container). The Purple People Eater was delightful but it was also That Purple Drink from the Lost Cantina. The Chupacabra drink was exactly the same drink, name and everything from the last concept. I also wanted to like the decor inside Spookeasy since the decor for Apres Ski Bar and The Lost Cantina were phenomenal. The decor for Spookeasy was also lazy. They kept all the Lost Cantina decor and just put skulls, spiders, and bats everywhere. Overall, Spookeasy was just not it for me. I will say it was their opening day when I went so maybe they just need more time to have more creative drinks and decor. But it felt like to me that they're just tired and the pop up bars need to stop (I'm sure it's exhausting to think of new themed drinks and decorations all the time) and it needs to go back to the regular Butcher and the Rye.

After having cocktails here a few months back I finally got to eat here. The cocktails are…read moredefinitely the star here, not so much the food. I had the lentil soup and an eggplant slider. Both were average, nothing special. My friend had a lamb slider and roasted Brussels Sprouts. She said the slider was okay and she let me share the Brussels Sprouts which I thought were over roasted to the point of being charred. To be fair, we chose inexpensive dishes. Maybe if we had opted for some of the pricier entrees like filet or salmon, we would have had better meals. The drinks however were very good. My peaches in a barrel was boozy and delicious. I only wish the delicious bing cherry was floating on top instead of buried under the ice. Her lavender mule was light and refreshing. She thought there was a bit too much ice which made it difficult to finish the drink without sucking through the stirrer. But we both gave higher marks for the drinks over the food. It was a breezy summer evening so we sat on the front porch where we had a freshly laundered cloth placed on our table before seating us there. This building is beautiful both inside and out and enjoyed being able to sit outside and take in the Ligonier street scene. We were served by Rusty, the bar manager, and he was very nice and attentive. He came back to ask about both the drinks and then later about the food. This is a whiskey bar primarily, so go there for a great cocktail. The food is a little pricey and not really worth it. There's many better restaurants around if you're a foodie. But it is a fantastic atmosphere and has a good stiff drink.

I was excited to try this place for lunch, but unfortunately, the food is typical western…read morePennsylvania fare. I realize sugar is the main food group around these parts, but it does not belong in a Caesar salad or a sausage and bean soup. Surely, any decent chef would know this. Apparently, the chef takes their leftover sweet rolls and makes croutons out of them and then throws them on top of everything. We also tried the smoked gouda French onion grilled cheese. My idea of a grilled cheese is a crispy, buttery outside with tons of gooey, melty cheese inside. Not this one. There was a barely visible slice of gouda on the bottom and a thin slice of some yellow cheese on the top of a big scoop of onions inside of two big slabs of white bread that didn't seem to have been cooked at all. I could have made a really delicious one at home, with zero culinary training.

Made this all the more enjoyable. Food was very well prepared and the proportions are right for the price paid. The Train-wreck was made perfectly and burger was juicy and not overly done. Fries might be my favorite for the area. Great music, great environment and even better service. Highly recommend this spot. I will add, while the bathroom decor is really nice, the sink might be difficult for people with arthritis in the wrists or are wheelchair bound. This is quite literally the only negative thing I have to say about this establishment.

Well, the website said that their kitchen was open when we got there the bartender let us know that it was in fact not open and that it was only beverage service. That was a slight disappointment to us as we probably would've hung out later if we could've been able to get food. I did a flight and tried the honey, the apple, the kilted barrel cast, and the Wapsie. Overall, I thought they were all pretty decent. The kilted definitely has a lot of peak and drinks very closely to a scotch. The honey one for me was my favorite and I ended up buying a bottle to bring home. My husband got an old-fashioned made with the Wapsie. He enjoyed it but liked it even more after the ice melted a bit. We were a little surprised that they close so early on a Monday but they close even earlier on Sundays so highly recommend that you pay attention to the operating hours if you're planning to visit.

The service was good though. The music is great of course. We came to see some local musicians who are also friends perform. I just feel like the food could be a little more consistent.

(Sitting at the bar is the best!) We started with Bartender's choice (which is always a good idea if you're at a specialty cocktail bar), and we both loved what we got! They made me a Juliet & Romeo, which was gin, cucumber, mint, etc. they made my fiancé a Safe Return, which was bourbon, pineapple, cinnamon, etc. (didn't write down the ingredients so can't remember it all lol) I also got the classic Last Word, which was great! They didn't include the maraschino cherry garnish which made me sad, but I lived lol. I also tried the Euro Trip from their specialty menu, and it was delicious and very spicy from the ginger. They also had their own barrel select of Knob Creek, which my fiancé tried - so cool! The bartenders were super chill and the ambiance was great! A little pricey but worth it.
