The Bar And Company — Restaurant in Olyphant

Found out from a friend about a stand-up comedy night happening here... Thought it would make a great date night surprise...went on Eventbrite and purchased tickets $10 each. We had never been here before. We used the bar entrance and I must say that we were pleasantly surprised with the decor and lighting, it definitely creates a cool vibe. The comedy show was in the back room where they host special events or have catering for larger parties. The decor in this room was super neat... A mix between steampunk, industrial, rustic, and old world styles. I ordered one of the mule cocktails (for which they are known for)...and proceeded to have two more because they are so delicious! (the Mexican Mule was my favorite)... I tried three different kinds and they were all excellent. A bit pricey but I think they are worth it for a night out. We ordered chicken bites, which are fresh and handmade, and got the signature "angry sauce"... they were really good. The comedy show was fun but we had some very ignorant people sitting behind us that wouldn't shut up. At times it was hard to hear the comedian. My suggestion would be to to use larger speakers or have them placed up high throughout the room. Although it was too cold when we went, there is a nice outside patio area with ample seating and fire pits. There is also a designated parking lot behind the place so you don't have to park on the street. I will definitely be back...looking forward to sitting outside drinking an ice cold mule on a...

We went on a Saturday night, they told us that we could only order from the burger menu not the dinner menu because the kitchen was backed up. The place wasn’t that packed, but okay, that should have been the first flag. Then when I asked for one of their specialty drinks it was awful, watered down with club soda. Could not even drink it so I sent it back. Another bartender attempted to make it, it was again awful, I know what a good old fashioned should taste like. I have had many in many different locations, this was again terrible almost undrinkable. Not to mention the wood chips floating in my drink! - so I then decided to switch to wine, I mean can’t screw that up right? The bartender asked me what I was looking for, their wine order didnt come in and they were running out of their wines! Are you kidding me, this was a Saturday night! So once our party was all there we went to sit down to our hamburger options. The food was good, but it took forever!!!!!!!! Our reservations were for 6:30 and we didn’t get our food till 8:00, keep in mind our dinning options were cheesesteaks and burgers! Sorry to say we will never be back, and it’s unfortunate because it had such potential! The place is beautiful with great atmosphere! Very, very, mismanaged! They need John Tapper to come in...

The first time I visited this spot was in 2020 during covid and everything was meticulously done. I recently returned and was completely let down. It wasn't too busy the evening I arrived but service was very slow. My dining guests and I were in direct eyeline with the bartender but she did not come to take our order for over 10 minutes. We ordered wings to start ($14) and asked how many came in an order. She said 10, we received 8. They were arguably the largest wings I'd ever received so we chalked up the reduction to that. They were cooked well and the medium sauce wasn't too spicy. Two of us ordered burgers, and it took quite a while to arrive. Both burgers came out wrong, one was the wrong item entirely and the other was not prepared correctly. The owner comped both items which I really appreciated. When trying to obtain the bill the waitress never followed up after the order mishap and I had to go to the bar to ask for the check. Overall, I was not impressed with my second trip and likely...
