    This is a local pub , most of the patrons are locals a few outsiders like me just visiting the area, the one man band playing good music and actually very good! Will be back.

    Why the low rating?.. please allow me to explain, my friends and I decided to go to a Local Bar, The Blue Turtle.. I gotta say when we first arrived There were Three barmaids behind the bar standing there watching us as walked in and sst down, Now we waited over 10 min till one decided to asked us for drinks, And realized there were only three other couples there, I would totally understand if the place was either short staffed. Or it was really busy , but that wasn't the case This type of service was going on through out the the whole night, watching us getting passed by by other customers, waiting for our next drinks, And by the looks of the other reviews Iit seems to me it the same w complaint. I would hope that management decided to make a change on these issues , this could really hurt thier business ...

    We came in with a large party and a short period of time to eat. We called ahead to let them know we were coming too. The bar manager handled our party solo and knocked it out of the park. She was patient and on top of everything. Our food came out as it was prepared which was fine with us given the circumstances and everyone raved about it. The atmosphere was just what we needed and we will definitely be back! Thank you for all you did on a day that was tremendously hard for our family.

    Went there for a fish fry... and the bar tender opened both front and back door to the bar. It was freezing outside!!! People were eating their meal with jackets on. I tried to close the door but she got upset and said.... I am hot... and insisted they had to stay open. I mean older people were freezing... but she was too hot... so that means all the patrons must freeze. Was a horrible dinner because of her. Wish I remembered the name....

    Nice, friendly, little neighborhood bar. They don't have many specials to speak of, except for their happy hour, and I was really looking for a place to go watch browns games. I probably won't stop back but I can still recommend it as an everyday bar.

    Hours online and on the door say they close at 230, but we arrived at 1220 on a Saturday and the front door was locked. We went around back and were rudely told that they were closed. Mentioned their hours were until 230 online (and on the front door) and got a snotty "sorry" back and a slammed door in the face. Do not go here, give your money to another local bar.

    The pot roast is excellent. It needed gravy, however it tasted excellent. The Philly Cheese Steak was very tasty. The homemade potato chips were perfect. The service is extremely good.

    We visited after a vigil for a close friend. About 10 people. Both barmaids seemed upset that we were there. Our sever had a horrible attitude, and our check had other people’s food on it. Our food tasted okay though…

    A decent place for a quick drink and bite to eat. There are also Ohio lottery gaming machines available. It's pretty basic with limited parking

  • 5/5 KudostotheWiz 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, prices are average. Normal bar/tavern atmosphere. I took the teens and they enjoyed it.

  • 5/5 BJ L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great drink prices. Great “fresh” bar food and just a pleasant expirence. Heather, the best bartender in town, helps too! Thank you!

    Went there on St. Patrick's to get a couple corn beef sandwiches, the barmaid took my order and got me a beer and I got everything quickly considering that it was busy. I've heard they have good food so the wife and I will be going there.

  • 4/5 Michael E. 10 months ago on Google
    A bar. Service was excellent. Food was very good for the price, which was more than reasonable. We'll go again.

  • 3/5 Michelle O. 1 year ago on Google
    We stopped by St.Patrick’s Day. The food was delicious as usual and the drinks were tasty. We enjoyed the bagpipes. We did not enjoy one of your rude, and miserable waitresses. She came to our table with a scowl on her face and took our order.. She slipped and fell on the floor. Then she proceeded to have a temper tantrum and aggressively push chairs around a table. She should not be working with the public…

    It's a bar. 🙂 Perhaps a half step up from a total dive bar. Lol The drink prices are good, the food is very good. I don't know what else you can expect.

  • 5/5 Julie A. 1 year ago on Google
    Our server was FAB! Love the easy, open, tavern atmosphere! Order the TOTs!!

    I had so much fun playing trivia and the food was out standing and so was the service I must recommend

  • 5/5 Tom B. 1 year ago on Google
    The local go-to place for an after work or a late night drink, never disappoints. Attentive service, good food, reasonable prices. The menu seems to have changed over the years, but the quality is the same. Good drink selection.

  • 1/5 Tom C. 2 years ago on Google
    Bartender was terrible, couldn't get another drink, because all of her friends were getting shots if they were even paying for them

  • 5/5 K O. 2 years ago on Google
    Great bar! Great food! And Sara is very friendly and they're not serving Seltzer8 which is delicious!! I look forward to going back soon.
