    Applewood Grill Burger
    Rich A.

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    My amazing margarita.

    My boyfriend decided to go here for lunch a little after 4:00 so late lunch I love the ambience the…read moredecorations all the different colors it was a little bright inside though but I wasn't freezing so that was nice. The service was great they really were not packed at all so we were seated right away our waiter checked in on us plenty and was very nice. For the food me and my boyfriend got something similar mine just had rice queso and steak and I got a side of the corn on the cob he got pretty much the same thing but his had chicken and shrimp and we obviously had chips and salsa I got a fanta to drink which I haven't had in a while he had their specialty beer now my food was okay It was kind of bland the steak was good maybe if I had them add peppers or something but it was still good reading it too so that counts I was super excited for my Mexican corn on the cob I haven't tried it at an actual restaurant yet just off of food truck at a festival in the past and I said Mayo instead of sour cream and it had cottage cheese I think it said and a type of spice and I'm not sure if maybe they used miracle whip and I'm just not used to the tinginess or what but it was super sour like overwhelming for. My taste buds which was odd normally when I get it it's Mayo with a splash of lime cottage cheese or Parmesan cheese and chili pepper or paprika when I got home I did take the rest of the corn off the cob and mix it in with my leftovers It was tolerable them but overall I would say it was an okay experience for the food

    Great food. Service was excellent and we were well taken care of. The television played all the…read moresports. Music was great!
