Modern Day Cheers. During the day you have an older mature crowd, in the evenings on weekends younger crowds who live to have a good time. Security is present and very respectful and capable. I enjoy watching the games, playing pool and just great conversation.

I love coming here when I'm hungry late night and want a bit of an upgrade from McDonald's or diner food. Last time I got the Lomo Steak, something was so off and gross about it, but that my isn't my usual experience here. (the recipe has slightly changed) The server was nice enough to discount it and she was pretty attentive. I also got the Salmon nachos which were fresh and tasty and for dessert a really delightful cannoli cake w cookies and cream ice cream. The prices here are such great value and pretty chill on weeknights

My chicken loaded nachos did not stand a chance (definitely a shareable) I took them down by myself! Honorable mention for the guacamole and salsa. Check this place out, you won’t regret it! Pic of the aftermath:

The 19th Hole Bar & Grill was a neighborhood favorite of my parents and grandparents growing up! It is nice to see it has new life on #TheAvenue in #BlackRock. Try the #Nachos… delicious and underpriced! The #SteakTips on top and #Guacamole were especially good. So filling, we could not order anything else to eat! Menu prices extremely low.
