I've been here several times now, and I'm a huge fan. Â I'm a HUGE fan of all the local brews they constantly have on tap, especially Rivertown! Â Drinks are not super expensive, and the bartenders are very attentive. Â Plenty of TV's, darts, and pool. Â They also have a ton of seating. Â They are also really cool about letting you bring outside food in. Â We've ordered pizza from the Hungry Howie's across the street and they were super awesome about letting us eat it at the bar. Â I've also seen a lot of people order from Commonwealth sandwich shop (which is literally right next door) and bring it over to the Village Idiot. Â
They have a really chill atmosphere - the walls are adorned with local art that is all for sale. Â This is definitely a great place to come hang out and talk with friends.
I really like this bar. It's got pretty much every thing you would want: a nice selection of drafts/bottles/liquors, a patio, darts, a pool table, a couple of TV screens, and clean bathrooms. Plus, you can bring in food from Commonwealth Sandwich Bar next door. It's a nice place to hang out with friends, or meet up with someone for a casual date. I'm not sure the $2 bottles deal exists anymore (granted it was a ridiculous steal, so I'm not surprised if they no longer offer this deal). Right now bottles and drafts are $3.
Review Source:This is a bar. It's a good bar, great for drinking and talking. If you want to dance, go to a club. The Idiot plays great music, has darts and pool, and even a fire outside if you'd like to sit out on the patio. They have very good drink specials, and the bar tenders never try to take advantage of you in the various ways that bartenders sometimes do (usually by not being very informative about the price of something). These folks are great!
