“It was close to closing time when I walked into this bar. Never had been in before but the bartender was very nice and helped me with the keno machine and I asked a few questions about the activity in the community for I am fairly new to the area. Just a nice little neighborhood place. I am not sure about food because it was late and if they do have food, would’ve been shut down by then.Parking: Just limited space and the place sits off of a major highway so there will be no parking on the street.“

“Love this bar! Weds nights are my favorite with Tony behind the bar and THE DJ BONNIE!!! One of the best DJ and sound pro's in the butler county area! Karaoke is a big deal in Hamilton and DJ BONNIE with the elbow room is a great time!“

“I picked up people there as an Uber driver. I figured I should check it out. It is nice for a small place in a unbecoming little and old strip mall. I particularly like that the bartenders are able to cook food until like 1 am. As an Uber driver, that is huge. The basket of fries looked so good, but I didn't get the chance to order food. But I hope to be able to soon.“

“Could definitely use some sprucing up. Not a bad place to go hang with friends, drink and play pool. It's a pretty small place. Quiet and just the place to get to know your bartender. However, not really recommended for a fun night out to meet new people and excitement. It's more of an intimate gathering with friends kind of place if you don't want to host the party at your own house.“

“Best standard bar experience imaginable.The atmosphere is perfect. The music is perfect. The art on the walls, the bar games they have, even the chairs are fantastic.It's not too big but not too small. The servers are the BEST.Being at Al's Bar feels like being on the set of a TV show. It's incredible.Highly highly highly recommend checking them out, even if you don't drink, just to see what a good bar is supposed to be like. They set the bar for bars. And they got good snacks too.“

“I have never been to the Backdoor Saloon. It is located in the rear of the Greenhills Shopping Plaza. I believe it is a bar. The Backdoor Saloon has it's own vibe. It appears to have a tight knit community of people who gather there. This is showing up as a place I've visited because the harvest festival happens in close proximity. If you are thinking of going to be the Back Door Saloon I would encourage you to call first to get details about business hours and etc.“
