This place is a neighborhood gem! “Small” Bar is a very fitting name for the inside of the bar but that doesn’t mean it’s lacking charm- it’s a very slick bar with a old-style bar area and a couple tables inside. The outside patio is really nice and a total bonus to this place (hence 5 stars). The workers were very friendly. The food was excellent- I believe I got a chicken sandwich and it was incredible. Burgers are great and these were huge sandwiches. Good tots. Will be back. I love how convenient this bar is and I love the vibe.
Shoutout to Small Bar for their brunch offerings. It’s a nice neighborhood spot to go for a no frills brunch with plenty of drink options and large food portions.
Their patio is nice because it’s very shaded but you still get to be outside.
Overall, I most appreciate that it is tucked away in the neighborhood and they have lots of drink options!
Fun and inviting atmosphere. The owner was there making sure his people was all good. Great drinks and food, and the D.j.s was beating their box. It was just a all around great time with good people.
Great neighborhood spot.
Pros:
- great burgers, crispy tater tots, awesome mac & cheese
- nice selection of beers with a "guest" beers with local brewers
- friendly staff
- cute outdoor patio
- lots of umbrellas to provide shade on patio
- patio allows well behaved dogs and their owners
Cons:
- patio closes early each evening b/c next to a residence (bar very respectful of neighbors)
- indoor bar is dark. I know that bars are suppose to be dark for ambience, but the inside is a little too dark for me.
Thanks Small Bar
Greatest neighborhood bar. I know there are better things to order, but I can almost never come here without eating tater tots.
