They give you baskets of bacon... okay, that’s pretty legit. Literally, such a fun bar, you can sit in a porch swing, saddle, barrel, etc. The location is perfect, tucked in, on one of my favorite cobblestone roads in the Old Port. I’m actually not sure if you can get other food besides bacon, but that’s totally fine, it’s all about having fun at the Bonfire!!!
If you like country music, this is your bar. The atmosphere is lively, the music is loud, and the people even more so. The major downside to this bar is the size. They let in an absurd amount of people, making it extremely jam-packed on weekends and difficult to navigate through. The prices are also slightly more expensive than other bars in the area. All in all, it is a far bar to go to and one of the most lively on the block each weekend.
The bar was absolutely packed to oblivion which isn't my thing but I had no issue with it. One great thing they should be commended on is throwing some little kid out who is thought he was more important than the rest of us. When he decided he needed to cause a fight, the bouncer was quick to notice and calmly told him he had to leave. I've seen a few incidents get out of hand before with unruly people and security that is a little excited - this was professionally handled.
Fun bar to hang out in. The drinks are great. The bacon is amazing. The bartenders are friendly. I did not mind the country music. Very lively.
They don't serve peanuts or pretzels at the bar; THEY SERVE BACON for happy hour. Yes, bacon. This place is awesome. We stopped in for a drink & stayed for three hours. There was only one bar tender who was on point. She was serving the entire bar, solo. They have games you can play and swings! Just an overall cool place.
