For American pub fare this is my favorite place. Great serivce and good quality food. You can find a lot friends at Preston's and make new ones too. My favorite is the French Dip sandwich with provolone, onions and green peppers but hold the mushrooms. Thier steak fries are the best I have found in Lafayette. Great with a side of BBQ sauce. Outdoor dining is nice on thier back patio.
Also a great place for parties and gatherings. I held my office winter party there in thier outdoor heated tee pee - way cool and fun. Great place!
This place is one of my favorite spots in the summer because of their beer garden and they often have live music out there. The food is good, wouldn't say great. I would say the staff is great though. They are attentive, friendly and down to earth. They always have something on "special" and prices are decent at regular price as well. If you are opposed to cigarette smoke, though outside the tables are close to eachother. The inside bar is pretty dark. I know that they have a good crowd of regular that sit at the bar top and seem to be enjoying themselves. And they serve a mean corned beef and cabbage for St. Paddy's day, always a good time. I recommend Sgt. Prestons, especially their beer garden.
Review Source:A wonderful, calm atmosphere, good food and good drinks, and great service are all things to describe this restaurant/bar. It is moderately price (about the price of your average bar) and it is a great place to go if you are looking for a somewhat silent, calm evening out drinking with friends. It is directly over the bridge in downtown Lafayette, so walking from Purdue's campus isn't terrible. There is outside seating in the warmer weather and oftentimes there will be live performances in the outside area. The décor is very lodge-like, i.e., there are lots of animal heads on the walls, which makes for an interesting experience. They have a decent selection of beers as well as the usual mixed drinks and cocktails. Their menu is large and the portions are definitely enough to cure anyone's hunger. As I previously mentioned, Sgt Preston's is a great place for someone wanting to relax, watch a game, and converse with friends.
Review Source:Despite having lived in the area for several years, we'd never before ventured into Sgt Preston's -- so we decided that tonight was the night and dropped in for dinner.
In retrospect, our overall experience was good. The music was a tad loud for 6:00pm on a Sunday, but it wasn't that crowded and the staff was very friendly. I was a bit nervous when I saw the 'Smoking Friendly' sign on the door -- but we got lucky and didn't have to deal with that.
The ambiance was certainly unique for this area. A very lodge-like feel, complete with giant moose head mounted on the wall and Canadian flag made Preston's somewhat reminiscent of the 'Hoser Hut' from How I Met Your Mother. (There's also a patio section that we didn't explore, but would likely make a great spot to spend a summer/fall evening.)
We started off (and finished) with drinks. The beer selection wasn't as comprehensive as some of the other places in town, but the drink specials were nice. My wife ordered a "Screwdriver" ($2.50) ... and was served something with a good amount of grapefruit juice in it, which I would've been put off by, but she enjoyed.
She ordered the BLT wrap on recommendation of the waitress, an while I was tempted by several things, wound up with the Bison Burger and curly fries. The wrap was, as she put it, "Pretty good for typical bar food" and the burger, while handsomely dressed, was just okay. Nothing groundbreaking or earthshattering -- just a pretty good burger. (I ordered a side of cheese dip I saw elsewhere in the menu and that was just okay too.)
I'm not sure that we'll rush back any time soon, but this won't be our last visit.
Great American bar food served a fun, laid-back atmosphere. The prices were great and best of all, the servers were very accommodating to our large group. We came in with a group of 22 and were provided with great service! Our server was always available and made sure our group had everything we wanted. The food and drinks came out quickly despite the large order we placed. The server was even able to provide separate checks for everyone in the group. I would definitely recommend this place for a fun night!
Review Source:Pretty nice bar, a spot for the not so young or more mature crowd, they have a decent size bar and a bigger patio out back. The servers and staff here are very friendly and the bartend knows how to make a good drink. Seems like a lot of places around here like brick there were quite a few heads of different animals on the wall made you feel like you should hang your coat on the moose's head.
Review Source:This is a good place to go as an alternative to "Thirsty Thursday" on campus. My friends and I go there to have a few drinks and a great time during the week. If you sit at the bar, you will get great attention from the bartender. The food I could give or take. Some is OK, some not so much.
Review Source:Good Ol' Preston's. Â I worked here for a short time as a cook in grad school. Â It's a good bar, especially for one on THAT side of the river. Â The schooner night on Mondays is definitely their "thing". Â "Come on, come out a drink a couple gallons of beer!". Â
Anyway, it actually has a patio, which before the big levee make-over, was the only bar near Purdue with a patio and live music. Â It was a good place to work and they have good burgers and a good cast of regulars (pronounced "reglers"). Â And the bartenders always took care of us cooks pretty well.
