B. Barton's Pub

I was visiting a friend at St. Francis hospital and drove by Barton's with a "Now Open" sign. I hadn't had lunch, so I pulled in to check out a new pub.The bar felt like a fun neighborhood bar with everyone knowing each other. Today at lunch, the crowd was mostly older, 55+, with younger patrons entering ( around 2:00 p.m.) as we dined. As you enter, you walk directly in front of the bar. A half-wall separates the bar from the 2 - and 4-top tables plus high-tops. The game area is in the back of the bar with pool tables, dart boards, and a jukebox with all tall-top tables or standing bar ledges in the back.The menu offers the standard pub options with a nice selection of appetizers, burgers, tenderloins, sandwiches, salads, and dinner options. Today's lunch special was a chicken fettuccine ($10.99) or shrimp Fettuccine ($1 upcharge for shrimp) served with garlic toast. The Shrimp and Broccoli Fettuccine was a large serving and very tasty, but I had to take most of it home.The bartender/server could not have been nicer, super efficient, and made me feel very welcome. She covered the entire restaurant and didn't miss a beat.I definitely would stop back in when I'm in the area. It's fun to be in a neighborhood bar where friends hang out together.

Stopped here when we were looking for something to a little different to eat on the cheap. I had heard they had great salads and hubby and I were in the neighborhood so gave it a try. Menu is limited and is typical bar food. The tenderloin I ordered would have been better if not so salty. I gave up half way through because it was just so salty. I am not dinging them for it because I know they probably season the flour they dip the tenderloin in and, I know from previous experience that as the evening goes on-if you don't add more flour your mix, the tenderloin picks up more flour than the seasoning in the mix and eventually the seasoning becomes super concentrated. For that reason, I am willing to give them a pass and try the tenderloin one more time. Hubby had a burger which appeared to be a smash burger and looked really appetizing! More importantly, the atmosphere was really fun. We participated in their music by the decade BINGO game with all the patrons. Hubby won one game so dinner was practically free.If you are looking for inexpensive bar food and don't care about an extensive menu, this is a great option. I would happily eat here again. The atmosphere make it a place I'd be excited to go back to!

The food was good as well as service. It was pretty empty when we went on Tuesday night around 7ish.

I would have loved to tried the food here but when my friend and I went in, no onewaited on us . It looks like they had one serverBut she ignored us (unless she's blind). Not really a "PUB" atmosphere either, no warmth, no service.

Haven't been here since I went day drinking with my person. I worked a long hard ass day and wanted a drink and something to eat. I got the twice baked potato and it sure looked amazing however it is cold! So sad but also know not to get it again. I got a captain and coke & much needed Jager and a pssst of bomb shot. Just Makes me miss my favorite bartender, Lina (works at Robbys) , bc so far she is the best bartender hands down and can make a drink worth it's price. Kinda of bummed even more so.. the bartender here, shawna (I think) is really sweet though.

My favorite bar on the southside. Cheap drinks, great bar food, and close to home. I wish they kept their booths and I wish they would get rid of Keri the bartender. Worst bartender, she's rude, she's acts like it's an inconvenience to make anything you order unless it's a bottle beer. Claims she can't make drinks when you can literally see all ingredients behind her.

We used to like this place, but hadn't been in a few years. What a disappointment. Our drinks were flat, so I said something to the bartender and she said, "Yep, well Merry Christmas there's nothing I can do about it!" I worked in the service industry for years and even if that was the case, why would you tell a customer that. Just ask the customer if they'd like something else. We had planned to have a few, but decided to leave after we ate. Food, that was a joke! My husband ordered the 'breaded' pork tenderloin, it came BATTERED and not good at all. It was dry, but greasy at the same time, gross. I ordered a burger and it was the thinnest, driest burger I've ever had. Why would you put wedges of onion on any sandwich? It was evident to us that the cook would much rather be outside smoking that giving an ounce of care or consideration into the food that she was preparing. No need for us to go back. Don't waste your money.

This place has cheap food that is ALWAYS good!!!! It's what keeps us coming back! The spinach artichoke dip with home made pita chips are out of this world! The Rueben, Philly, and Ham sandwhichs are really good. I love the Chili and it's the perfect time of year for that!!

He came on a night there was karaoke. The KJ did a great job. My friends ordered a pitcher of beer, that was flat, the beer was warm, with half foam. The waitress you're notified, but they told my friends to try something different / they did not offer them any compensation, or replacement. The waitresses were not very attentive, they were sitting on the bar. They should have been attending to customers. Poor customer service! That was our first time, and last time. Hopefully management will read this...

We love this place. Great food and drinks for a good price. Several TVs in view from every seat :)
