August 11, 2010 [ Updated August 15, 2010 ] Great food and beer at a great price. They get nice rarities as well. Some of my favorite drafts they’ve gotten include Founder’s Devil Dancer and Kentucky Breakfast Stout, lots of Bells, belgians like Delirium, Bernardus, Monks cafe, and more. Great atmosphere. I live in Bowling Green and this is my favorite bar. |
January 3, 2010 Reverend’s Bar & Grill is in downtown Bowling Green on Wooster, the main drag through town from I-75. I came in here before watching my beloved alma mater lose to BGSU by 9 in basketball in early January, and it wasn’t very crowded (I was there from about 5:45 until 6:30-ish). Supposedly it gets crowded with students later. I was happy to find a place with good craft beer in a college town, and in addition to the usuals (Bud Light, Rolling Rock, Guinness, PBR), it had 8 craft taps, including Duchesse de Bourgogne, Bell’s Amber Ale, GI 312, Troegenator, Green Flash West Coast IPA, Great Lakes Burning River, Maumee Dry Irish Stout, and Avery Salvation. The taps change consistently, and the owner is good about keeping the tap lists fresh online and on myspace. The atmosphere is good; new-ish, clean, 2 brick-walled rooms, young female student waitresses/bartenders. The staff was good about knowing what was on tap, but not a lot about beer in general if you’re looking for any conversation. The food is fair; I was there during a half-priced appetizer special and got cheese fries (meh) and chicken skewers (small, but good). Recommended if you’re ever in town, as the other choice for a wide beer selection is Buffalo Wild Wings, where you won’t see anything interesting. |
