Yesterday was the most beautiful warm spring day so my sister, friend, and I went straight to TBA to enjoy cocktails and apps on the patio. It was heaven. We're lucky that we got there early because it filled up quickly, but the servers were always friendly and quick to check on us or clear our table. I enjoyed the Pimm's Cup, my friend loved her Moscow Mule, and my sister liked her cocktail from the new Spring menu. We also had the whipped spicy feta app and the charcuterie board - both were great. read more

The Bourbon Affair gave speakeasy, cozy and sophisticated vibes. It was packed when we came in but the server found us and seated us easily, the great service definitely stood out. It was a little loud for us but the outdoor patio area with the gas fire was perfect, we could still hear the band and it gave us more space. This is a great place to get a night cap like a White Russian, which was sweet and delicious. The friends in the group that knew more about whiskey and bourbon really enjoyed their drinks. I would definitely come here again for a night out! read more

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! read more

First time stopping in. Very laid back chill environment. Amazing staff and drinks will be back for sure.

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. read more

Went in for a drink while I charged my car. Was greeted briefly when I sat at the bar, then COMPLETELY IGNORED. Nobody even noticed when I got up and left. Apparently it's a "regulars only" kind of place, so if you aren't already, DON'T BOTHER. Would give zero stars if I could. read more

I've been here before, a couple years ago, and this place is still just as classy and fun as last time. Amazing liquor choices, fun music, great place to hang with friends! The bartender was even kind enough to lend someone in our group a cigarette when she overheard they'd forgotten theirs. Great venue, highly recommend it!! read more

Luke the bartender was amazing. Great retro vibe, bourbon selection over the top. Highly recommend this friendly bar when in Findlay!!

Smoked old fashioned's were great. The service was very strange and slow. We waited almost 10 minutes before the bartender even acknowledged us. Then when he did come over he told us something about "the owners said as long he nice to people he can work there" we were a little confused. read more

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. read more

As soon as I walked in I thought, this would be a great place for a campaign fundraiser. Nestled inside is a beautifully done bar with a few smaller tables and a main "library type" sitting area with a large flat screen tv. My date and I walked right in and found a table and a nice young lady told us about the menu etc. we both decided on a flight of drinks along with a cocktail. The bartender and server were both helpful and very nice. I was in town from Columbus and I was blown away at the fact that this was in Findlay. If I am ever in the area again I will stop by. read more

Excellent whiskey list, well thought out cocktails, attentive staff. I highly recommend The Bourbon Affair.

They've got all the right ideas, but need better execution. We never got a decent explanation on how to score drinks while we smoke cigars. It was awkward. Cigar "attendant" was nice, but was definitely in the "fake it til you make it" stage. She botched some cuts, and started torching sticks without asking. Also, the smoke eater was not working properly, and we were dying in there. Great whiskey selection, no doubt. But when I say ice, I expect at the least the option of a ball or puck in a place like this. And in a man glass. I thought that thing was going to break if I held it too tight. Overall, I just think the details need some work here. Nice place, needs some polish. read more

This bar, designed to look like a 1930's speakeasy, offers a unique ambience and incredible cocktails. I was blown away by the variety of whiskeys they had. As someone with minimal knowledge of bourbon, the bartenders were a wealth of knowledge and gave us tons of information. If you're in Findlay, I'd definitely recommend stopping by! Even if you don't like bourbon, the bartenders will work with you to make something that you'll enjoy. read more

A great place to cozy up by the fire with an old fashioned when it's cold outside! You feel like you're walking back in time when you really look around and see the details. Super cool place for Findlay. Will be routinely going back. read more

The Bourbon Affair - Christmas at BA. Tinsel on the tree and big colorful bulbs! Super old fashioned and charming! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Findlay, Ohio

Treated with total disrespect at this establishment. I was not served after all of my friends had been helped because I was told my pupils were dilated and I appeared confused. I have always had pupils that dilate easily. I was told this as a child. I also had just walked into a dimly lit place which causes pupil dilation. I also take a medication that says it can cause dilated pupils. As far as the claim of confusion, me and my group do not know the cause. I did ask if I could get a glass vs a bottle of one of the featured wines as I just wanted 1 drink and not a whole bottle before walking with our friends to our hotel. I went to grad school at Findlay for my Doctorate and had good experiences with Bourbon Affair in the past. This is a place I brought my family while in school. I worked in the restaurant service industry while completing my education at University of Findlay and work in the medical field so know all the signs of intoxication. My husband and I used to work in the restaurant service industry and enjoy tipping well to wait staff, often under appreciated especially during the holidays. It was so embarrassing and disheartening that a place I had recommended and look forward to returning too treated me so poorly. My friends and complete strangers who heard about what was going on were all disgusted at the way we were being treated. I am a short, enthusiastic, blonde woman so not sure if I was discriminated for my gender or just overall eccentric personality and interactions with my friends and being last to order but for some reason Zachary was hateful to me and caused our group to cut off after a drink instead of spending time and money at this place as we intended too. I believe this place could be great but may need better customer service training to bartenders and managers. read more

Luke and Sam are two of my favorite bartenders in Findlay!! Very professional, knowledgeable and approachable! Atmosphere is an impressive high-end feel with upscale decor and fancy drink concoctions but don't be intimidated. There's always a mixed crowd and a "come as you are" feel. read more

I love the Roosevelt! That's it. Just the Roosevelt. The place has a cool vibe - very unique for Findlay so that is good. They really need to pick up the service though - it takes forever!!! I know a good cocktail needs to be appreciated. You have a guy working his ass off at the bar - and 2 waitresses is period dress (20's) more interested in their phones than actually helping anyone. I stood for 5 minutes right beside one of them waiting at the bar for the ONLY GUY DOING ANYTHING (yes those are shouty capitals) to actually help me. read more

The Bourbon Affair in Findlay is a great place to relax, unwind, meet with friends and just breath after your day or week. The atmosphere is as if you've stepped back in time with the gorgeous and ornate bar to the dark wood finishes and the attire of the bartenders. Ashley, Luke and Lindsey always remember me and we have pleasant conversations. The drinks are second to none! Blanton's Manhattan is my go to and is made wonderfully! There are several craft cocktails that are all recipes of the employees and the 2 I tasted were delicious. You can bring in your own dinner and relax or just hang out and enjoy some libations. I highly recommend this as a go to anytime you are in Findlay! You will NOT be disappointed! read more

The interior is beautiful and cozy. It's a lovely place to have a few drinks and socialize. Definitely on the expensive side, but with good reason, as the drinks and liquor are all very worth the money. My only issue with our visit was the awkward interaction with our wait staff person. She seemed uninterested in helping us or answering questions. At the end, apparently our tab was charged a percentage for the tip; however, we didn't know that until looking over our receipt the next day when we realized we'd been prompted to leave a tip when we were already charged one (and it was included in the total of what we left an additional tip on). Also, their hours baffled me. They're open from 3pm - 11pm. Seems an early time to close for a place that is basically a bar. Regardless, the experience itself was lovely and I would go again. read more

I stopped here last weekend with some friends to sample some whiskey. The atmosphere was really great, very comfortable and pretty classy. The only problem was that everything was way overpriced. A two ounce pour of Jameson Caskmates, which goes at about $30 for a 25oz bottle, was $9. I ended up giving the Rebel Yell Small Batch Rye a taste since it was only $6. It was excellent for being the cheapest whiskey on the menu, but unless their prices became more reasonable, I would never go back. If you have a lot of money to throw around it might be your kind of place, but for the average joe it's way out of your league most likely. read more

Great location with an old style speak easy feel. Unique to Findlay, which is typically filled with bars that start out nice and end up over taken by frat bros and runs down the clientele. The price point here is just enough of a premium to maintain the ambience they're going for. The staff is always dressed to impress with a pre-prohibition type style. It's a niche bar, that is great for this town, because it'll keep higher end whiskey drinkers coming back for more, and the bottom dollar well drinkers out . I'd suggest going during the week, as Friday's and Saturday's it's really packed and the wait staff efficiency goes down a bit because of the volume. It's a great place for a night cap, and the atmosphere plays a huge part in it! read more

The atmosphere is great! Dark wood, old pictures. The bartender was very knowledgeable and explained the whisky bourbon menu. He also assisted me with picking a new drink based on me telling him what whiskeys I've had and enjoyed before. It was a nice place. read more

Very bad service with NO ONE in the place. Maybe Luke has tired of the place? Will not be spending my money in this place in Findlay anymore. Think twice about it. There are plenty of places in town where you will not feel like you are a burden to serve on an empty Thursday night! read more

Nice place. Great for a date or a social get together. Bartenders were professional and attentive. Very clean. The drink list was outstanding! Amazing choice of bourbons. Didn't have Angels Envy. Cheese plate was very generous but only offered with crackers. Drinks were a very generous pour. Asked for a check and was never given and actual printed out receipt which is strange. I like to know what I'm paying for and how much things cost. read more

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

Nice spot for whiskey/bourbon tastes in downtown Findlay. It's in the new downtown Crawford st. district. Cigar shop and bourbon tasting bar. Very good service. Great selections to taste. Wine & craft beer. They could offer more appetizer/food selections. A little smokey coming in due to cigars. But a new nice spot in downtown! read more
