Chappy’s Bourbon and Bites

This is kind of a strange little place; have you ever been to a bar that serves deviled eggs? That being said the staff are really nice and they have a wide range of bourbons and a good selection of other beers, ciders and spirits. I had two pints of Angry Orchard on draft and an order of fries for under $ 10 which I’d say is not too shabby. The beer cheese was a bit liquid for the pretzel roll but fries dipped in it was nice. We were there on one of the last warm nights and it was nice to sit in the open window by the front.

Decent selection of bourbon, with a knowledgeable bartender. Need to know that the place is under new management. Don’t be fooled by the website or all the posters advertising Taco Tuesday (tacos for $ 2), as that’s apparently not a thing any more. Neither are any of the advertised weekly specials.
Do have to say that the tacos are pretty good, but not for $ 4 a piece. Especially when the menu says with chips and salsa, and that means 4 tortilla chips. We even asked the bartender if this was correct and he confirmed.
We were there for a few hours and maybe 8 other people came and went in that time. The music was too loud and the wrong style for a bourbon bar or restaurant. I think Chappy’s needs to decide what it’s going to be and commit to it, as it’s not excelling as part neighborhood bar, part bourbon bar, and part restaurant.

Reasonable bite and bit in prices. I wish there was more ambiance contributing to essentially a garage in which they serve beverages. Strange sort of crowd with questionable up charging of just about every fine liquor simply because they qualify as a «bourbon spot»

BAIT AND SWITCH
Ordered a bourbon off the menu listed at $ 10 on a Saturday night and they charged me $ 17. I was in the bar two nights earlier and ordered that same bourbon and they charged me $ 10 like the menu said. When I asked the manager about it she started off by saying, «well if you knew anything about bourbon…» and said it was due to supply and demand. IN TWO NIGHTS IT WENT UP $ 7. When I was in there the first time on a Thursday a friend who I was with ordered a drink that was listed at $ 7 and they charged him $ 14. He brought it up and the bartender named Alex apologized and said it was a typo on the menu and adjusted the price. So on Saturday the lady who is the manager called Alex over and asked if he had adjusted the price a few nights earlier and she told him he’s not allowed to do that. She still refused to adjust mine and then went on to blame the waitress and said our waiter/​waitress should’ve known what the prices were. UPDATE THE MENUS!
I live close too the bar and would’ve easily spent time there since I enjoy drinking bourbon but after that experience along with the rude manager I will never go back. How do you order something on a menu when there’s a price by it that can change 70% or more overnight and you’re not even told about it?

Thankfully things seem to be improving here. The new bartender Cheryl is on hand and can make this place hum. I hope they listen to some of her ideas. I can’t wait to see how Chappys improves over the next few months.

Don’t believe the menu. It’s 2 years old. Brisket wasn’t ready at 6:30. Won’t be for another hour. No shrimp either. Deviled eggs were good but small like grade b small.

I have been to Chappy’s about 10 times and have had a different experience every time. It is by far the most inconsistent bar I’ve ever been too. The first time the bartender was extremely rude, the next time two times we had great service and last night was terrible again. If the petite girl bartender is working you’ll get good service, but anyone else and you’re out of luck. The food is good, but on the expensive side for what it is. The drinks are good, but expensive as well. Last night we had a group of 5, so we sat at a table. After waiting 5 minutes for someone to serve us we asked for menus at the bar. After another 5 minutes of a server walking past our table to the next and STILL not being greeted or served we left and went down the street to MJs on Main where we got served right away and got our food and beer for more fair prices.

Try the smoke house sampler and. tacos are excellent as well. Great service! Love the larger grange doors to the street.
