    Amaretto Sour
    Lexi M.

    Wow! This is the place to get a proper drink. It was my first timing coming and me and my coworkers came in for an after dinner drink. The ambiance inside and outside on their back deck, was nothing short of perfection! Their selection of bourbon, whiskey and rye was unbelievable. I had ordered an Amaretto Sour, but the way they made it was the original way to make it. Megan made a FANTASTIC drink I can't wait to go back!

    My wife was having surgery in Bluffton so checked out the bourbon scene locally and this was my stop. Great atmosphere, the music, the bartenders dressed taking it seriously with fun! Loved the vibe. Sat at the bar and the bartenders were engaging and chill. I ordered the Luke's Bourbon n Smoke. Very well done! Great mix and balance. Would def order again and felt it was priced right. Will come back! Love it.

    If you're at all serious about bourbons, The Bourbon Affair is for you, but even if you are not, chances are you will be after drinking here so it's good for you too. I first have to say that the nearby street parking, being a city imposed "mandatory reverse angle" must have some merit, rhyme or reason to it. However, whatever that might be totally escapes me. It's generally the craziest thing I've ever come across. The only thing I can think of is that it avoids having to back up if you are leaving drunk, which might be a good thing. Upon entering The Bourbon Affair I was given a warm greeting and smile by the staff. It was if they were really enjoying what they were doing and really in fact appreciated my patronage. It's a greeting like this that sets the tone for ones experiences and their greeting couldn't have been more warm or friendly. I began by a review of their whiskey inventory. I must say, the sheer size, extent and selections gave me the OMG's I've died and gone to whiskey heaven. Not only do they have bourbons, but classes of American, Irish, Scotch and Canadian along with a really splendid selection of ryes. Then, there is a good wine list, but one of the best of all lists, being their signature as well as standards in cocktails. I started off with a Manhattan classically done with a rye, in this case a top notch Bulleit with a Carpano Vermouth and one of those more than heavenly Italian Luxardo cherries. It was totally delicious and perfectly concocted the way a real rye Manhattan should be done. I then tried one of their special for the Fall Season cocktails, a Drunken Pumpkin. Though on the sweet side, deliciously so, and of a creamy spiced pumpkin taste. I was impressed by it. Another factor I love about The Bourbon Affair is their generally décor and atmosphere. It's easy going and laid back with a distinctive classical touch of class. And let me tell you, the bartenders here really know what they are doing. In fact I hesitate to refer to them as bartenders because they're actually professional mixologists.

    Awesome speakeasy feel with great cocktails and very friendly service! Tons of bourbon and whiskey selections.

    Great gin drink!

    Wonderful service! Bartenders were very informative! Drinks were great! Loved the atmosphere.

    We were visiting from LA and had a very nice time at this hidden treasure. It was beautifully decorated for the holiday and we experienced great service with affordable drinks. We will be back when we can.

    A wonderful atmosphere, great staff and amazing variety of bourbons, cigars and food. This is by far one of the best perfect Manhattan's I have had. Make a point to stop by at the Bourbon Affair when you are in Findlay.

    The Atmosphere is nice. They have reduced the drink sizes. Not worth the price anymore.

    Way over priced and took advantage of customers. Wasn't anything special. Definitely better options. Avoid this place!

Because it has the same owner and almost the same name, I'm not 100% sure that the BarCade deserves its own Yelp page, but MSDBaA is different enough from MSDaB that I'm reviewing it as an independent business. The games: For just the games? I'd give MSDBaA 3 to 4 stars. The selection is pretty standard stuff. They're missing some of the 80s blockbusters, but they have many of them. They also have several sleeper hits and a few games that never really made it over the top. All arcade games are set on free play all of the time! The 7 pinball machines are on set on free play on Thursday and Sunday, but are normally 1 dollar per play (standard for "new" games these days). This, obviously, is a great deal (on Sunday and Thursday). Most of the games are in pretty good shape, but none are in perfect condition. In the past, I've said that I'd rather pay to play a game that is in top condition, than play a free game with sloppy joysticks or buttons. This still holds true. Again, overall, the games ain't bad. The bar: The quality of the drinks and the beer selection makes up for the non-stellar game collection. The service: Excellent service from Andrew and Rachel. Both were attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. The Atmosphere: The atmosphere is fun and comfortable. Also, it's attached to a pretty good, albeit a little expensive, sandwich shop. Although I'd love to see a little more attention given the retro arcade games, in general this place is great; it's nice to have MSDBaA in Downtown Findlay. Toledo should take a lesson or two.

They offer a variety of things including fresh baked loaves of bread to take home! I ordered over the phone and my food was ready within 10 minutes! Service was fast and easy. My salad was loaded with toppings and super flavorful. I am only rating 4 stars because the avocado did not seem fresh and there were a few pieces of brown lettuce.

    Ok. I don't usually eat at road houses. It's a business trip, I need convenient and adequate…read more.. fine. I ordered takeout from Applebees which is essentially on my hotel parking lot. I ordered chicken tenders with fries and broccoli. The broccoli was as expected - microwaved from a freezer bag, no fresh veggies here. Fine. There was only half a cup of broccoli, maybe. I got 6 waffle fries for $5. Six. Fries. And they were all stuck to each other in pairs. Do effectively 3 double-stack fries. For $5. If it was my own money I would have gone raging back down the stairs, across the parking lot and straight to the manager. Chicken tenders were also fine, but nothing at all to write home about. They were on the dry side and were mostly breading... true to trend, not a lot of food for the considerable dollars, I was able to walk in, go to the pick up area and leave without checking out with anyone. So there's a possibility of making a mistake and taking the wrong bag, or stealing something you like better (contents of the bag are on the ticket stapled to the outside). That means there's also a chance your bag won't be there when you go in, but you may be better off - and you might get more food for the cost - eating in the restaurant.

Don't think I will ever do any Applebees ever again anywhere. Left bad taste in my mouth and brain. Sad too cause I use to like Applebees. Honestly it doesn't deserve a one star. Waitress was fine.
