I stopped here with some friends on my way through Kansas. We only picked Blind Tiger because it happens to have the same name as a bar that happens to be near my house....

Given that, the beer I had was good. The atmosphere was simple but quaint. As a bar or pub, this would be middle of the road at best. The saving grace is that they make their own beer, and it isn't that bad.

We stopped in here for Sunday lunch/dinner. Our server didn't know anything about the beers (or any beer for that matter) so we were on our own. I had the Holy Grail Pale ale which was very good even though it had cascade hops, it was lightly hopped so the cascades were not overbearing. My wife had the Munick Dunckel which was very very good!

We both had ribs that were fall off the bone tender.

I would recommend this to anyone.

We stopped by the Blind Tiger on a Friday afternoon on our way to Abilene, Kansas. The lunch crowd was leaving and we stopped in to try their sampler. We tried the Street Wheat, a Top Gun IPA, Blind Tiger Amber, and the Tiger Paw Porter. They were all good beers and after the sampler we tried the Java Porter. Wow, if you like coffee and beer this is the beer for you. Service was good. We didn’t have any lunch since we ate at Arthur Bryant’s just an hour earlier.

Finally got to stop for lunch and we picked a great place. We sat in the lounge behind the bar but on a warmer day the outside deck would be nice. The building itself has 8 “floors” and the brewery equipment is spread out so it is visible and accessible to the patrons. The fermenters form one wall of the attractive main dining room and the brew room is visible from a waiting area near the entrance. There were a dozen house brews on tap when we visited. I got to enjoy a Tiger Bite IPA, a taste of Smokey the Beer and a delicious pint of Java Porter. The menu includes a good array of appetizers (the Smoked Cheddar Pale Ale soup was great), sandwiches, “Bar-Be-Que”, grilled steaks and homestyle entrees. Prices are reasonable and lots of parking is available in their lot.

Just tried the Blind Tiger this week.

The Holy Grail Pale Ale ranks middling on my palet, with no outstanding virues. Certainly a fine beer (and I had several to make sure), but I doubt I'd pick it if lined up with offerings from other nearby breweries (check my other reviews in the KC/Lawrence/Topeka area).

I enjoyed the atmosphere of high-topped tables on the bar side and the place was busy. Service was responsive. The lack of "big screens" and the wood interior kept the noise down such that we had an easy conversation. The menu was below average/expectation for me.

I'll be back though as I enjoyed the experience.

Annoyances: The Blind Tiger is a little bit shabby in appearance inside; an upgrade is warrented.
