I've been wanting to try the burgers here for ages and finally the stars aligned! I jumped at the…read moreopportunity to experience Logan's Alley while also catching up with a dear out of town friend. First and foremost, the inside feels like a dive bar (complete with the stale beer smell), but the patio is quirky, fresh, and fun with dogs allowed- lending to a lighter and brighter feel. We snagged a table and chairs that were mostly clean; the server came rather quickly and (though towering in stature) was very quick, adept, and patient with us while ordering. We committed to splitting the crab Rangoon appetizer, the burger special: pimento cheese double smash burger with bacon jam upgraded to fries, and 3 (yes three!) Farmhaus Bloom's to wash it all down. Everything was spectacular. The Farmhaus bloom was my first taste of a delicious blueberry cider lemonade with a splash of lavender that reminded me of a liquid sour jolly rancher. It was deliciously addicting. lol. The burger was also incredible. I'm not that into burgers, but I dare say this was an art form. I would definitely come back and try some more. The crab Rangoon appetizer was fun and a great shareable with the table. Our waiter showed up at the perfect times... truly a master of his craft and would casually ask if we needed a refill. Very on vibe. Overall, I find Logan's Alley to be a local watering hole with surprisingly excellent food. They are actually living up to the term gastropub without even the slightest bit of pretentiousness detected. Very refreshing! It's certainly not a vibe I'd take my kids to, but I would def come back with friends or just the hubby... and with food this good it'll be hard to stay away.

The Paloma my friend ordered was terrible. The service was also medium. We weren't checked on very often, and our server forget things we asked for. The food was good, as were the prices, but I was underwhelmed overall.

This is a restaurant and bar with simulator bays. How fun!…read more Most simulators are set up for just golf but I saw other sports equipment in other bays, so they may have some throwing style games as well. You can eat, drink, and play golf - you can do it all or you can do just one. However, if you plan on playing golf / using a simulator bay, you should call or go online and make a reservation. It gets busy there. I love that they have seasonal cocktails. They had some special ones for st Patrick's day. They also have happy hour M-F from 2-6pm. I booked a bay, it charges per 30 min. The hour was $65. I had one cocktail. I got a briefing on the system and I was on my way to playing a very difficult golf course in South Korea. They have club upgrades but I stuck with the standard bag. I had a great time. Next time I will choose an easier golf course! Also, I believe the server calculates their tip not only on what you buy but also your bay time. So I'll review my check a little closer next time. The sell golf gloves if you need one/forgot yours. There is a small parking lot next to the building or you can park on the street or garage nearby. Bathrooms are on all levels. Fun place. I'll be back.

Service was better this time, still slow but at least not ignored. Ordered wings and I swear these…read morewere the hairiest wings that I've ever had. The feather shafts were all neatly lined up. When I mentioned this to the waiter, she said she could talk with the manager about it but it was already 5 min to closing and I already paid for my meal. I was wondering why no one else was ordering food and just drinks. Just generalized laziness of this place in doing anything right. Would not recommend at all.

We paid $15 per person for the band, cash only (they do have an ATM on site). They have live music most weekends, and you can reserve tickets online ahead of time. We got a booth for our group of four and it had an okay view of the stage - there are a couple of pillars that obscure the view but the music sounded great. I was worried it might be way too loud in the small bar, but it seemed fine. Bring earplugs if you need them! I think they sell them at the bar too. We got some food to split - the fried green beans and the grilled cheese sandwich. This food is simple but tasty, and goes great with a cold beer. I especially liked the crispy fried green beans with jalapeno ranch! Tip Top definitely gives the vibe of a Nashville honky tonk, and I had a great time.

The owner always makes it an effort to check in on us and is thankful of our patronage. Usually I come and get an app and split it with friends.

They do have some unique appetizers like cheese and bacon stuffed tater tots, which are rather good. A bit on the pricier side for apps but I've never seen tots like this and appreciate it. The first time we went here, back when they first opened, the owner was lovely and introduced himself. Last night we learned 2 of his sons work there as well. Cool that it's family owned. They also kill it with decorations. Very festive for Christmas.

My chain broke on my bike (a 90 degree day) and politely positioned myself in the far coner of their parking lot for some shade as I waited for someone to bring me a tool to fix it. Bartender 1 (not on shift) pulls by me and says, "You need to leave, Erin (apparently bartender B) is going to come out and tell you to leave." I smiled and said ok. A few minutes later, bartender B, comes out and yells across the parking lot, "You gotta go." Couldn't even have a little common decency and privately come over and address me by asking, hey, is therr something we can helo you with, if you could please just pull off the peoperty if you're not planning on coming in to our establishment?" And instead she says, "I told you on Thursday u you can't be out here. ". WHAT IN THE FUCK? I was never at this bar on Thursday and I have NEVER ever been here with my bike sitting in their lot. And, looking foolish (becuase it was sooo foolish) says, "my problem is a YOU problem, NOT as peoblem. I mean, I'm in the corner by the dumpster, watching fully aware thar if the parking lot har filled up I was prepared move because patrons come first. The only interation I had with anyone there was actually kindly calling a customers phone several times becuase he needed help looking for his lost phone. This is the first time I have ever left a review. Like I said, I have been in the industry for years, i get bad days, bad service, and fuck ups. But, not only was I treated like dog shit, but I was accused publicly of something that never even happened. Please, help your staff with some training on just simple human decency and problem solving, becuase if my interaction woth them reflects at all what their service is like behind the bar.... I donn't see how anyone could sit on the other side and want to be here. Hats off to your staff before these two women, help your staff, clean up your trash, and make coming here enjoyable, hospitable, and neighborly like it was in the past. Thanks in advance. Damn, can't even give zero stars.
