We had a great time at trivia night, and we were delighted by the food and drinks. One of the members of our party is a vegan, and she had plenty of options on the menu. Sadly, they were out of the vegan dessert, but service was great, the decor was quirky and fun, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the trivia contest was well done! We recommend The Lockhart highly!

Whether or not you're a fan, it shouldn't matter this is a GREAT place to spend a few hours and your money. If you close your eyes and leave the Potter theme behind, it's a great local bar/pub with some of the friendliest staff brought together under one roof. Let's start with the menu, EXACTLY what you'd expect from the theme, BUT NOT the flavor you'd expect. The buttermilk fried horn tail, buttermilk chicken strips, with an outrageous flavor of sweet pickle and honey mustard sauce is top notch fare! The jerk roasted cauliflower was a favorite, and finished off by a veggie HATER! Yes they have a vegan and vegetarian menu. Now the drinks... The "MIXTRESS OF POTIONS AND ELIXIRS" Shahada will certainly entice you to try more than one of the list of beverages she mixes. The Befuddlement draft is a "sharing cocktail" for some, an XL one drink night for others. A blue freezie tasting, fire ignited, party in a small bucket is something to take pictures of when it's served to your table. Obviously the "Better Beer" is a Potter takeoff but worth it's weight in taste and price! Meaghan and Mia, are two of the most attentive bar people ever! Matthew, has a certain hit on his hands, opening a second site already, but he NEEDS to look into a third spot.. maybe the Detroit/ Windsor area....... PLEASE?????

Staff was fantastic at helping choosing from the drinks selection. Drinks were flavourful! Small and cozy place- would definitely go back! read more Staff was fantastic at helping choosing from the drinks selection. Drinks were flavourful! Small and cozy place- would definitely go back!

This restaurant is really great, although it is on the smaller side. I am a big Harry Potter fan. read more This restaurant is really great, although it is on the smaller side. I am a big Harry Potter fan.
