4 /5 Lakeia Madison: We recently visited The Bourbon for the first time, and overall, it was a good experience for a bar. The atmosphere is very lively, with a mix of bikers, college-aged kids, and older patrons enjoying the patio, bar, and dining areas.
Our waitress, Lucy, was attentive and friendly, and the staff, in general, were fast and efficient, ensuring we had everything we needed. Initially, I was concerned about dining with bikers as we are new to the area and didn’t know it was a biker hangout, but the environment turned out to be welcoming.
After receiving our drinks, there was a bit of a wait for our appetizer. We ordered Honey Barbecue chicken wings. They were naked and lightly seasoned; the flavor wasnt quite to my liking, although my husband appreciated their crispiness.
For our main course, my husband had the Breakfast Burger, and I had the Bourbon Burger. While they werent the best burgers weve had, they were still good. The fries were hot and enjoyable. The drinks were strong, so plan on having just one. I tried the blueberry specialty drink but found it difficult to drink with a straw due to the berries, and it was not as sweet as I expected, just strong.
Overall, The Bourbon offers a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere with decent food and strong drinks. We appreciate the friendly service from Lucy and the hardworking staff.
