Tonight Mr. Clougherty and I had our once a month dinner. We decided on Bar Nine this time. We were able to get a seat at the bar even though they prefer reservations. I could see why. This place was packed tonight and that’s a good thing. Restaurants were hit hard last summer during the pandemic and so it’s nice to see this place doing well. Here’s my thorough review of my dining experience at Bar Nine.
Service—We were taken care of despite the busy atmosphere (a good problem to have). Our server took our orders, they did their best to seat us, and they made sure we were all right. We got our food in a timely manner and this place went above and beyond despite understaffed and busy at the same time. Service: 9/10
Food—A much better meal here after my disappointing experience at Wahlburgers. I ordered the Texas burger and Mr. Clougherty ordered the Mediterranean Flatbread. The food had a lot of taste to it and the portions were perfect. I savored my burger and all that came with it. The margarita was good too. Food: 9.5/10.
Ambience—The atmosphere was really lit. The place was hopping for a summer night. The outside was filled to capacity and the inside was almost full. This is why it pays to call and make reservations people. Ambience: 9.5/10.
Decor—Not much to add here. It’s a sports bar with outside dining. This place will get a lot of business once football season gets here. Decor gets a 8/10.
Menu—I really loved the options that I was able to choose from. Lots of good entrees, burgers and sandwiches, as well as cocktails, and a list of wine 🍷 or beer 🍺. You know you’re having a great dining experience when it’s hard to choose and everything looks good. Shrimp poboy? Maybe next time, Bar Nine. Menu gets a 9.5/10.
Final grade: A-
