Charming
Good for groups
Great for creative cocktails

Humbly innovative. Fueled by a passion to draw deeper connections between food and spirits, Service Bar delivers an experience that is refreshingly innovative, much of that due to carefully placed hints of nostalgic flavors and techniques. Housed in Middle West Spirits, one of Ohio’s first craft distilleries, the stunning main dining room is both intimate in size and lively in energy.

Full dinner service is available first-come first-serve at the main bar, and by reservation at a variety of smaller individual tables that accommodate 2-6 guests.

We were looking for a nice relaxing dinner at this distillery / bar / restaurant but the service was rushed, metal tables were not really comfortable, and the food was meh. Better than a bar, but not as good as a nice restaurant. We were asked if we wanted boxes while we were still eating. High end prices but not high end experience.

I love this place. Parking is tough, but the food and drinks are worth it. Had Cornish hen with savory bread pudding and light sauce. Was so good! Of course, it’s Middle West so cocktails are fantastic. Only issue is it’s pretty pricey, but we were there for special occasion so didn’t bother me.

Food was excellent! Service was friendly but some of the drink pours were lacking… for the price of items, we expected a bit more. Will definitely be back otherwise!
