Darkbird Taphouse

"Horrible Mac and cheese bites with hair in it, MAYBE USE HAIRNETS! Pretzel cheese was cold and the food tool like 40 minutes. The beer was cold so that is a plus but the place was dirty. The people who stand at the bar and wait for you to come to them to place an order seem to be overworked and in a hurry get rid of you. The young girl who apparently is not a waitress but just someone who brings food was rude. Had to go grt refils at the bar. You also have to go to the bar to pay at the end. Nothing good to say here, much better places in the area. The clueless owner replied about another review I left when traveling to visit my sister, not sure what that is supposed to mean? People travel. I never said the actual date of my visit. Too bad I am not the one who paid or I would be glad to post a receipt so you can get your pathetic beer hall in better shape."

"The double burger I had was excellent, couldn’t finish it. Everything else was just ok. Wasn’t my taste in live music."

"We were turned on to this place due to an article that labeled it as ‘Edgar Allen Poe’ inspired. Apart from a raven as the logo, we saw no other signs of this inspiration. Just a bit of a let down, especially since we drove 1:15 to get there. QR code for menu, order at a counter, food brought to your table. No other table service. Cranberry mule was tasty. Free refills on sodas. They are very up front about the possibility of the food taking a while, due to their emphasis on beverages, and a tiny kitchen. We were pleasantly surprised that our food didn’t take long at all! We tried the Mac and cheese bites (delicious!) and the pretzel (pretty good) for appetizers. For our entrees we had the daily special (hot honey chicken sandwich with fries), pretzel pub burger with fries, and a house cheeseburger with cheese curds. Requested the burgers well-done. They were, but still moist and delicious! Live music when we arrived. Quite a bit too loud for our liking. Luckily the band took a break a little after we got there."

"We had our rehearsal dinner in the loft space at Darkbird and it was amazing! All of our guests (many from out of town) commented on how cool the space was. They loved having the deck and most people spent the whole night out there! The service from our bartender Rachel was excellent. Leading up to the event, Andrea was quick to respond to email and very accommodating. I loved that I was able to bring in food. Would highly recommend Darkbird for your event!"

"Darkbird Taphouse was a great spot to have a cold drink as they have a great wide selection of local brews. My burger was great but the rest of the meal was not the best. Fries tasted like they sat out for awhile and my buddies Philly cheesesteak was very dry."
