We stopped in because we were very hungry. We had not been here before, so that we would give it a try. We were greeted on entry and told we could choose our table. There was music playing on a machine. We were given menus and we made our meal choices. The food came out in good time frame. Everything good, it has plenty of seating it is for 21 and over although there is a couple of small tables in a seperate area if you have a child That space is not big at all. I loved the look of the building abd all it had to offer and it has a nice corner location and windows to look outside. Staff is friendly and I recommend you give it a try as we enjoyed our experience and prices are fair. read more

My friends and I went to Main Street in Lawrenceburg Indiana for a wine and chocolate walk. We stopped at this place for a drink and some appetizers. Such a welcoming atmosphere with smiling faces and some country music. Our waitress was adorable. She was new and was enjoying her job. We ordered wine and pretzels with beer cheese and potato skins. Very yummy!! It's a cute place in a darling town. read more

Food is very similar in looks and taste to high-school lunch. The bar tender looks like aqua man but he definitely doesn't move like him. This place has drinks but don't buy their food. .7/10 read more

Absolutely great place to go, went after a cold night at perfect north. Great service, karaoke night was the best, food was excellent. Building is old and really cool to see, well maintained and great vibe. read more

The Captains Tavern is a local watering hole that's a perfect place for a casual meal or a few adult beverages whether you're a lifelong Lawrenceburg resident or just passing through as a guest at the Doubletree next door. The ambiance is distinctly small town bar -- with a long wooden bar and high top tables offering a warm and casual ambiance along with a good modern country music soundtrack that just feels appropriate for the environment. With only six beers on tap, the beer, liquor and wine options lean towards popular mass-produced brands, but they still have a pretty wide selection and.. let's be honest.. this isn't the sort of place that you're going to ask for a 1787 Chateau Margaux or 1992 Screaming Eagle Cab or an IPA aged with goat milk. Menu is pretty limited but offers a good selection of pub fare. I stopped in for a beer and a burger after a not-so-long flight from the east coast.. and I was definitely happy with my decision. I ordered a bottle of Miller (Livin' the High Life for $2.50!) and the Applewood Grill burger ($9), comprised of chuck mixed with bacon, and served with fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion on a potato roll with chips and a pickle. The burger was really satisfying and served quickly by a very friendly server, Gracie, who checked in a few times made sure I was happy with my meal. Definitely will be back next time I'm in Lawrenceburg. read more

Not a good Friday night at captains tavern. Service was not good... No it was terrible. We brought two couples who had never been here and we felt bad we suggested it. Five of our meals came out, but the sixth was completely forgotten. We had to flag someone down and they then prepared the sixth meal. Another long wait and two couples went to the bar to pay. We did receive a " sorry for the service", but that isn't enough for me to ever bring another person to this place. read more

Ambiance was pretty laid back. No one really there when I got there. After 10 on a Tuesday. Staff was super friendly and they went out of the way to make me food which is what I was really after. I got suckered into the hanging copper cups so got a Moscow Mule. Not bad. Ginger beer wasn't fever tree but it was delicious. It was a fairly heavy poor too which made me glad I was in walking distance of the hotel. The inside of the building was beautiful. Tall ceilings and narrow lay out. With a small upstairs in the far end. It was remolded a few years back I think they said. It was a pretty awesome spot. So the wrap I ordered was awesome! Took a little while but well with the wait. He put some kind of aioli that was out of this world. Had a little bit a bacon if I remember correctly and he toasted it. Not sure if it was the hunger or if it was the cook but he wrap better than I expected Only down side was the bro country playing on the TV and over the speakers. Not really a country place just what the staff was listening to when I came in late. Not real my jam. What an awesome little bar in the little down town area. I will be back next time I am in town on business!! read more

The Captain’s Tavern - Moscow mule - Bars Near Me - Lawrenceburg, Indiana

Excellent place. Hands down best bar in Lawrenceburg. A guaranteed great time, would 100% come back.

We decided to see what Lawrenceburg downtown has to offer. And we weren't disappointed!! I ordered a Moscow Mule that was very good!! I love that they have dinner specials that change nightly and karaoke often!! The staff is very friendly and we will be back for sure!! read more

They don't know the difference between a potato skin and a baked potato, which is enough to flummox any well-seasoned connoisseur of American bar food. And when the mistake was pointed out, the staff just kind of politely shrugged with not much more than a heartfelt "that sucks." Additionally, if the Bengals are playing and you're not a fan of the sports ball, either be prepared to shout-talk over/at the drunken regulars at the bar or pick another joint in which to slake your hunger because they get *loud* and don't give a tuppeny (insert F word here) if you're bothered... read more

Always a good time and great drinks. Kelly was amazing and was so helpful! She was very enthusiastic and anticipated our needs. 10/10 recommend!! read more

The food is good, above average, the drinks are overpriced and weak. The service is not good. It's worth try. read more

We checked out Captains Tavern last night. There was a great crowd of all ages as well as karaoke. The bartenders were on it providing great service even with the crowd. We ordered some apps which took a little longer than expected. The nachos were AMAZING and seemed never ending. The pretzels came out and looked a bit sad, not much there and slightly hard. I personally was excited for the flatbread (build your own), it had great taste however could have been cooked longer. read more

Very disappointed in this place. First the employee was stuck in thw basement and oir guys had to get him out. Then our order came out and everything was cold, looked like it came out of the microwave or was six days old. My beer they "blew" the keg twice How do u do that?! I highly do not recomend. read more

Was in Lawrenceburg for a weekend trip. Thought this place looked like a cool spot to chill and have a few drinks and food. It was NOT. The staff lies about what they have, what they can fix, how long it takes and the manager Stephanie is AWFUL. We called several times regarding the same issue and spoke to a different person every time. Every single one of them are liars, their service is obsolete and the food is under cooked & thrown together, their drinks are overpriced, weak and take entirely too long!! Looks more like the end of the night place underage people with fake id's go to drag their pick of night home. Sad because Lawrenceburg is such a charming city. This is definitely a horrible wart on the sweet face of Lawrenceburg. read more

It's a bar that has cheap drinks and good staff. The tacos weren't great but it's not fine dining. Like it, go here when in town. It's a locals place for sure as the bartender knew what people wanted before they sat down which is good. read more

Service is horrible, don't waste your time. Stopped in tonight (Saturday) and waited 20 minutes to be waited on for 4 beers, and it wasn't that busy. Tried to get another round of 3 beers and was blatantly ignored and when we tried to get the attention of one of the bartenders he said he was taking care of someone else. He was too busy doing shots. Then he told us to leave. Management should check the cameras. read more

I was staying in the hotel across the street and had dinner in the Captains tavern one of the nights. The place is beautiful. Great wood work, and decor. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The menu was kinda thin, nothing really jumped out at me. I ordered the special which was Meatloaf. Also had a salad before it. The salad was fresh and crisp with the right amount of extras. Not too small or too big. The meatloaf seemed to be homemade. Was very flavorful. Maybe just the smallest touch of being a little dry, but not anything that would ruin it. It also came with vegetable sides. I will give them a second try the next time im in town. read more

Great place to come hang out. The owner was a sweet lady and cares so much about her bar ! Awesome place

I was one of the first diners to Captains Tavern and appreciate their attention to preserving the integrity of the building and community spirit. I would have to say I'm disappointed in the portion sizing(small) I've often found myself reordering two or three of the same plate and I'm not a big guy. I do enjoy attending business gatherings and events in the designated area read more

Mini vacation about an hour and half from our hometown and this is the first place other than the hotel that we walked into. Absolutely perfect from the vibe to the company! Highly recommend! We will for sure be back!! read more

The Captain’s Tavern - My amazing margarita. - Bars Near Me - Lawrenceburg, Indiana

Excellent food and drinks. The service is great too. I go here every time and back in town and it's always good.

Newer place. Still working out the kinks. But some of the nicest people on the planet. All the staff was very friendly. Met the owner - chief/cook/bottle washer. Kitchen is a little small. No frier - so no French Fries. (Reminds me of the old SNL skit "...chips, chips"). The atmosphere was very nice. An old building that has been redone - apparently by the owner. You can really feel that he's put his soul into the place. Our food was pretty good. Not going to knock your socks off. But I only ordered the burger. So, maybe I need to try something else. I'll give it another shot. read more

Over priced, just ok food. We went for lunch, but they were so slow, even though there were only a few customers. It took us over an hour. Some questionable food handling! read more

Food was less than good. Service was terrible, sat upstairs. Waitress ignored us most of the time. Had to go downstairs to get our drinks and put our order in with the bartender. Got our food and it was cold, and just unappetizing.. we won't be back. read more

This is a bar with store bought food. They clearly have no fryer, no grill, and no oven. The food was probably purchased from Kroger. The bar tender doesn't have a house drink or doesn't like being a bartender. The experience was very disappointing because it is so beautiful inside. Definitely missing some opportunities there. Don't waste your time unless you are only going to drink. read more

This is a beautiful place for a sandwich and a drink. They are still sorting a few things out, since they are new. I look forward to coming back to see how they evolve. read more

This place is beautiful! The wine was good too! The people are nice and quality is better than expected.

Took 2 hours for our food and it was very low quality food. The owner was nice and comped our meal but then after we left he walked across the street to find us at the hotel and then asked us to pay for half our meal. very poorly run. read more

Great atmosphere; great place to have a drink and socialize! Live music; short menu with appetizers, salad, sandwiches, and dessert.
