EXCELLENT Based on 149 reviews CHRIS COPEOctober 10, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I had our wedding reception here. From helping with preparation by being available and quick with answers to the day of the reception go so smooth. The bartenders were so helpful and great as bartenders. The foooood was sooooo gooood (get the twice fried wings). I can’t say enough positive stuff about Inkwell Tavern! ZedSeptember 28, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I checked this bar out early on a Friday during happy hour. If you’re a lover of books, you’ll love both the decor, and references to literature throughout the menu. They had a great cocktail menu with some classics, as well as signature creations. I forget the name of the 2 cocktails that I ordered, but both were very well balanced and delicious, they were also very fairly priced. If you love high end spirits, they have a well curated selection on their back bar. Their drinks menu also included some great looking nonalcoholic options, which I think is so important to create an inclusive environment for all patrons. On the food side, I ordered the smash burger with herb fries (as a big fan of thyme, these were killer). The burger itself was tasty, my one note is that the bun seemed a little overly toasted, bordering on burnt. I loved the thoughtfulness of serving the fries in a metal cup, so as to keep them nice and hot while I enjoyed my burger. The service staff were all incredibly welcoming, and professional, and the vibes I gathered were “very knowledgeable, yet unpretentious”. I’ll probably be in there on Sunday to watch football, as I saw they open at 10 and show games, which I’m very excited about.

Mike StaffaSeptember 25, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great place with wonderful staff. Bartender created a custom gin drink based on flavors I like. Really fun place to relax with friends and grab drinks. Food was amazing too. Aron JeanSeptember 21, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My ABSOLUTE favorite bar ever!! The bartenders are fantastic, the wings are the best I've ever sad, and every time we've gone-- the drinks have been top notch! I highly recommend happy hour and whiskey Wednesday! Nick CampbellSeptember 21, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My favorite neighborhood bar. They have simple but good cocktails, and whiskey Wednesday is always a good deal. Also, they're double fried hot wings are the best. C.B.
