We've visited this place about four or five times over the years and really enjoy the selection of beers, the friendly staff, and its convenient location near my child's university. Although I haven't tried the food yet, I've noticed that the hours can be a bit odd, as it seems to close earlier than I'd prefer for a bar. There have been a couple of occasions where I felt like I was still drinking while they were tidying up and trying to get us to leave.
I visited on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch/early dinner after a Pickleball tournament, and my friends and I had the whole place to ourselves. We enjoyed our meals and mocktails, and the service was outstanding. There was ample parking, and the full menu offered something for everyone, making it tough to choose what to order. I went with the bowl, and it was delicious! My friends also expressed their satisfaction with their meals. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.
Lovin' Cup has been a beloved fixture in the community for 15 years. Leslie, Erik, and their incredible team have been delighting our senses with live music, delicious food, and a great selection of beverages. You can visit any day and enjoy a different experience, whether it’s trivia night, open mic, live performances, or even a private event! The options are endless. Their seasonal food and cocktails are fantastic, especially the French onion soup—so delicious! They also offer a variety of local and seasonal beers on draft, with plenty more available in cans and bottles. Don't hesitate to ask their knowledgeable bartenders for recommendations. When it comes to food, I love the Dixie chicken with sweet chili, the jazz sandwich, or a burger—it all depends on what I'm in the mood for!
First time customer, stopped in with friends after a pickleball tournament about 3:30pm on a Saturday. The place was quiet. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. Wide range of beverage choices. I enjoyed a delicious sour beer by Talking Cursive called Rhubarb Raspberry Pie. Very creative naming convention for the menu...all items are named after something musical. So many items sounded yummy, it was hard to select one! No complaints about our actual choices, everyone enjoyed their meals.
