We love this place! We've come for celebratory work retirement events, random tequila Tuesdays,…read moreeven brunch, and it is always great. The latest visit was me with my mom and brother, looking for a place downtown with a good burger. OLT immediately came to mind. We sat upstairs and were served by Bailie, an angel and rockstar all in one. Everything on the menu is good, but we got the kickin chicken sandwich, fish and chips, and of course, the bbq bacon burger. Fresh, hand cut fries, perfectly dressed entrees, cups that were never empty, and an overall great experience. If I can bring my mom here, you know it's good.

I brought a friend to visit again and he said he was in the mood for tomato soup. I LOVE the tomato…read moresoup here, but was nervous because it's really unique. Creamier than usual, a tiny bit of sweetness, and they add cheese. I remember the first time I got it being confused at first, then loving it after a few spoonfuls. Well, yay, my friend thought it was delicious too!! And my french onion soup was great! The broth was better than ever and served piping hot, with a really rich, well-developed onion flavor. I cannot get over how they do simple things so well! Maybe my favorite tavern vibes in the whole city.

So, I visited Mag Bar with my adult kids kind of as a jokey dare…read more We sat at the bar and had a cocktail, chatted with the really cool bartender, did some people watching, visited the back patio, and documented the mind-blowing bathroom graffiti. I felt old and young all at the same time. I hope this place is always here.

What a great dive! I come here pretty frequently for shows and the atmosphere is always so great!…read more Most recently saw Pravus Warlord and the entire show was phenomenal! Free earplugs, strong drinks, and plenty of head banging. Genuinely the mosh pit here is always popping, and of course everyone remembers their mosh etiquette as people will help you up if you fall, and ask if you're okay if you seem hurt. I'm the friend that holds everyone's glasses and watches from the side though so if moshing isn't your thing, still come for the music and punk vibes. (I personally love watching people express themselves through moshing, I think it's such a beautiful raw expression of emotions!) The bar area has a few booths but is pretty small, but the back room where the shows are held is pretty spacious but fills up quickly. There's also a back patio! Ultimately, Mag bar is a great spot for a show, a drink, and some good ass music.

Well sitting here waiting for game 1 of the NHL finals to start…read more The people running this place have all been really nice, efficient and attentive. This place is a little different for a sports bar, but in a decent way, chill and fancier vibe than a normal sports bar. It's has an open area but with multiple areas /room to escape and converse if needed. Two bars and couches in front of a biggest TV in bar I believe. I had a burger and fries, burger was very good, when I say a good burger, it alone was worth the visit, fries were fries, I just don't like these type of fries. If in the area and looking for something decent you can't go wrong, well at least I didn't on this visit, will go back for sure. Hope you enjoy as I did.

My husband and I came in to eat on a very big game night. While not packed from side to side, the…read morecouches and bar areas were full of game watchers and friends visiting. We ordered a lot of food nachos, wings, and the pulled pork sandwich. The brussel sprouts were amazing. The pulled pork was a little salty but the wings made up for it. The nachos were also great. I did wish they had a better drink selection with some ciders as an option, but I drank white claws instead. We would watch a game here any time.

Fantastic atmosphere but it is FREEZING…read more It's a large room with that library feel, but they decorate it so well that it doesn't feel too big. All the windows are wonderful but also make it so so cold in there you need to dress warm or you won't last long. There is a fire place in the center but it doesn't emit any heat unless you touch it. This is a great place to work at, catch up with a friend, or digest a drink. I think the drink service starts at 3 but the room is available way before that. It's off the left of the lobby and will have people working in it during the day.

Okay, I finally understand what everyone is talking about. I…read morewent to Toasty's Tavern specifically for the burger and fries because I have heard so many people rave about them, & they were literally everything I hoped they would be! The burger was delicious, but the fries honestly deserve their own paragraph. They have the subtle smoky flavor that immediately reminded me of the smell of campfires at my aunts place in the country when I was growing up. There's just something about them that's just so good.& they absolutely do not need a condiment. They're perfect completely on their own. I also ordered the fried mushrooms as an appetizer & those were delicious too. The only problem was that I very quickly realized I had ordered way too much food for one person, but was I going to let perfectly good food go to waste? Absolutely not. So naturally, I ate all of it. No regrets. The burger, the fries, the mushrooms, everything hit. I completely understand the hype now!

Bar seating is available as well. The outdoor area has a large Connect 4 game, which is a fun touch while you wait. The atmosphere is casual, energetic, and just plain fun. And the burgers! They're smashed, crispy-edged burgers served with sweet pickles, griddled onions, lettuce, and Toasty's special sauce. We shared a basket of their seasoned fries and added a side of "fry sauce," which is a delicious mix of mayo and ketchup. The menu is very reasonably priced, making this a great place for an afternoon meal without spending a fortune. Overall, we had a great time and really enjoyed the laid-back, fun atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

Tandem had a small, but fun menu of two different shrimp roll options. I went with the Connecticut version, shrimp poached in butter garlic. The side salads were so yummy and fresh! The watermelon, which was lightly dressed, was such a nice compliment to the shrimp. Also, the bartender sleighed my spicy Bloody. A delightful Sunday spend on their back patio.

The staff is great, friendly and happy to give a recommendation if asked. I do wish there was a sweet-ish wine available on the menu by the glass, as everything I have seen leans heavily dry. Which my palate is ok with some times, but sometimes...I want something a little softer on the tongue. Which therefore usually steers me towards their cocktail selection. They have all been delicious, but cocktails are also more expensive. So I have to be in a "feeling flush" kind of mood. I think it is a great addition to the neighborhood, it is unique and inviting and I really like it a lot. If you have the time flexibility, they have some good happy hour deals as well. I am sure to be back.

I first came to this bar in 2019 when it opened. I absolutely loved the vibe of the place. I…read moreintroduced my friend to this place and now we are loyal patrons at least once a week if that. We mostly love coming here because it is 21 and up and we can be adults here. Other reasons: they have different flavored Margaritas of the week and every Tuesday was $5 Margs and they had a taco food truck here as well. Not sure if they still do that. We also love coming here for the pinball games (they switch out periodically) and the patio in the back we absolutely love. This place certainly faced its challenges during and after the pandemic. They have bounced back tremendously and with that came some changes. My biggest kicker, they haven't had updated Merch for sale for a very long time. Kinda noticed the change about maybe 2 years ago. For the past 2 years there have been no Derby stickers (something they started in 2020). They have done derby shirts for the past 2 years but, no stickers. I also collected their own stickers as well, there haven't been any new ones for a while. This is really my only kicker here. Idk what's changed or if it's not in their budget but, merch does bring in money. I also miss Potato the bar cat. I asked someone a long time ago what happened to Potato and a bartender told me the owners moved. I hope they can bring in new merch at some point and new stickers lol. They also used to post on Facebook what food trucks would be coming each night so, someone has dropped the ball on that. The staff here is very wonderful and my friend and I adore them. We are treated like we belong here and don't feel out of place. Even the patrons make us feel welcome. This is one of the few bars we go to where most everyone is laid back and is not too rowdy for us. Maybe late at night but, for the most part, we love it here. This is definitely a neighborhood bar worth visiting. Laid back, not rowdy and everyone is made to feel welcome. We love it for the most part but, hoping they can improve some things I have mentioned in this review.
