Hamburg Pub — Restaurant in Hamburg Township

I go to this bar quite often, as it is closest to home. When you walk in, you get the sense that it you’re entering a modern bar, but still with a nice hometown feel. There are lots of televisions, all glued together to cover nearly every square inch, enough to make the nearest B Dubs jealous. The amount of electricity used to pump all of the televisions, keno screens, scratch off machines, etc., is really about as modern as it gets, though. They have a large selection of booze behind the bar, even though anytime I have brought any friends in with me, they can’t seem to order any type of cocktail other than a rum and coke, or a shot of Jack Daniels, because they are told “we don’t have that.” Whiskey Sour, old fashioned, Moscow Mule??? What bar doesn’t have that?!?? I’m a beer drinker, so this doesn’t bother me too much. However, where they lack in making drinks, they also lack in draft beer selection. I believe there are 6 draft choices. In this day and age, that’s about half the minimum of what any respectable bar should have. Although, they do have Natural Light on draft!!!! That’s not a typo. They actually have Natural Light on tap. Alright, so it’s a hometown bar, a jack and coke kinda bar, a 24 oz. can ‘o’ Busch kinda bar. I can see past that. The food offerings don’t help one see past it very easily. The menu is chock full of deep fried this and deep fried that. Those types of bar foods have come and gone. It’s the kind of offerings you would see at a local fair. I mean, where else can you get 8 different types of French Fries???? They do offer food specials everyday, if eating from grease soaked wax paper isn’t really your thing. Unfortunately, these are usually stuck in the 80’s along with the rest of the offerings. Things like Salisbury Steak & meatloaf. You know, the kind of food your mom used to make, and you would throw a fit about. The burgers are good. It’s the only thing I will eat there anymore. It’s a friendly place. Lots of regulars who are nice, and you always see the same employees, which makes it feel like family. Its like Cheers, in the sense that everyone knows everybody else’s business. There’s always some good gossip to get in on, if that’s your thing. I mean, it is family after all. It’s like Thanksgiving everyday! You get to learn how to deal with the "DT" loving, intolerant owner who "dates" his staff, which waitress is smoking a J outside with what customer, which customer is cheating on their wife or girlfriend with another customer. These are probably the reasons I keep going back. I wanna see the next episode to see who shot J.R.!!! It’s a fun little spot. Stop in, grab a giant can of Busch, eat something deep fried, and degrade someone with different colored skin! Don’t forget to play some video poker, after you’re full of cheap beer, grease, and intolerance. hate. They do...

Food is pretty good. The prices are very reasonable. The bar reminds me of Cheers the TV show about a bar where everyone knows each other. The downside which can be corrected quite easily is the food service is too slow. Compared to other area bars and restaurants the food order is taken after too long of a wait, and then the food delivery time also seems to be quite long. If these things can be corrected it is a fine choice to have drinks and dinner with friends. It always seems that the waitresses are spread too thin, again comparing this to other area bars /...

After the first round I ordered another drink for with my meal, 20 minutes after being brought the wrong drink I told her it was not what I ordered and when she brought the right one, she grabbed the other one from me. That is wild. Typically if you’re given the wrong drink they don’t take the wrong one from you when you’ve been left it to drink for 20 minutes during your meal. Pizza used to be amazing but it was so doughy it was hard to eat. Servers can’t handle more than a few tables. I wish it was how it...
