"Bardot Cafe might be more of a lounge than a dive bar with its drapey curtains and candles on every table. But it still feels like the kind of place that you could show up to any time, grab an empty table, and get a $6 margarita. While you’re here, you should also order some of their kind of French food, whether that’s some pickled beets and crab frites or larger items like an excellent lamb burger and a quesadilla. If you’re not looking for a full meal, they also have a great Happy Hour that includes half-off draughts and $5 bar snacks." - sydney mcelwee

"Hoagie Dom, run by Dominic Rocconi, holds pop-ups at Bardot Cafe, featuring high-quality, unique hoagie creations. Rocconi, who bakes his own bread and pickles his own peppers, sources ingredients from local establishments like Di Bruno Bros. The pop-ups are highly anticipated, often selling out quickly." - Abigail Weil

"When you’ve exhausted the scene on Second Street and you’ve aged out of the Piazza, Bardot Cafe is here for you. This place is a little more grown up, from the candle lighting and leather booths to the pots of mussels you’ll be eating, but it’s still a fun spot where you can either have a chill dinner or a big night. If food is more a bonus than a requirement, stick to drinks at the bar during Happy Hour, which features half-off draughts and $5 bar snacks." - Jordan Price

The bar was dimly lit, casting a warm, amber glow over the wooden surfaces and leather stools. The air was filled with the low hum of conversation, punctuated by the occasional clink of glasses and the soft laughter of patrons. Behind the bar, rows of bottles stood like sentinels, their labels reflecting the muted light in a rainbow of colors. The bartender, a handsome bald man with a neatly trimmed beard, moved with practiced ease, mixing drinks with a deftness that spoke of years of experience. My drink arrived, and I raised it to my lips, savoring the first cool, refreshing sip. The night stretched ahead, full of promise and the comforting sense of being in a place where time seemed to slow down, allowing me to simply be, surrounded by the warm hum of human connection. A must go for folks from all walks of life.

We didn't make it in time for food, but the beers on tap were plentiful. Tons of local brews represented. Bartenders were warm and helpful to tourists like us. Great part of town with lots to eat and drink nearby. This had a neighborhood pub vibe. Would go back for sure

Super chill spot in the area. Service was quick and congenial with a nice bouncer too. Our drinks were very solid, and the space was nice as well.

Friendly, and comfy, I found Bardot’s to be a great place to grab a quick bite to eat. They have a great dessert menu. I get their Brownie, and caramel with powdered sugar every time I come in. I was impressed to find a bartender who makes their own shrubs! Shrubs are flavorings used in alcohol and non-alcohol drinks! Enjoy yourself inside or outside at their outdoor sitting area overlooking the quiet, snug, charming part of Poplar Street!

Great spot for beer and food. They have vegetarian options which is nice. I had the Campfire Stout and LOVED it. It really did taste like a smore.

Love this place! Cool vibe, friendly atmosphere, good service, quality bits to eat. Hang at the bar, move to a table, or play pool. Recently had the Totchos - while mine didn't have ground beef, was pleased with the chili substitute. Recommendable spot.

If you're looking for a great corner bar with awesome bartenders this is your spot. They know beer and have the best circulating on tap. They have tvs for the sports games and a pool table, and if you bring your own darts, you can play darts.
