Fantastic service and their seasonal drink menu has something for everyone! Watermelon Margerita was tasty and the hubby had a Strawberry Mule. You can grab a bite too from their bar menu or ask for the 8 Eleven menu.

Wow in a word. We stopped by the Bistro and ended up at the bar. Man was this a blessing in disguise. We had the deviled eggs, shrimp cocktail and crab croquettes as appetizers. For the entre, we all had the Wagu burger, medium, and added egg and bacon to get the full experience. The final coup de Gras was the highly recommended key lime pie! This put the night over the top!

Here is no doubt the best bar in town and probably even around greater Lafayette area. Solid cocktail with decent liquor selections paired with lively atmosphere and decorations of the bar, being here is definitely a brief escape from rest of the town. Me and my friends have been going here since the first day they opened and probably had spent way too much than we should. If you plan to go here a lot, definitely get a loyalty card from them. And I want to end this review with a special shoutout (as well as extending my sincerest thanks) to Jordan, one of the bartenders here, whose willingness of exploring new recipes and dedication to crafting cocktails of true quality are what make the experience here even better.

Ashlyn is like one of those bartenders from tv shows. Walking in, she greets you and makes you feel at home. 811 feels like cheers.

Alyssa, Sienna snd Dylan were awesome tonight! Always friendly and great to chat with. Would have added more stars if it were possible. I come infrequently to town to visit my kid going to Purdue. Dylan remembered my name and I was last here Sept. 1st. That’s crazy impressive! This place is great but Dylan, Sienna and Alyssa make it awesome. No reason to leave the hotel if you are looking for drinks, good food and friendly conversation.

Doubtlessly the best place for cocktails in the area. Somehow, a bar ON CAMPUS really hits everything perfectly. The atmosphere is incredible. All of the drinks are perfect. And the bartenders are all wonderful! I’m definitely frequenting this place. It’s my go-to spot. And I even love hanging out here while drinking coffee at Leaps between classes. Perfect.

Disrespectful and unprofessional service. My friend and I tried to go to the bar to order a few drinks and wanted to start with a water before figuring out what drink we each wanted. After giving us our waters, the bartender, Ashlynn, told us we needed to leave the bar since we were not ordering drinks. Meanwhile the people at the other end of the bar had brought their own food and did not order a drink and were still allowed to sit there. After we moved, Ashlynn was bad mouthing me and my friend to the other customers sitting at the bar. I normally have good service when coming to this place but after today I am not sure if I will be back. We were very disrespected and unhappy with how Ashlynn treated us.
