Looked good online. Ordered the pretzels with cheese sauce. Took for ever and they came out soggie and cheese sauce was cool. Cant even remember the rest. Coke even sucked. To answer the owners comment, Sunday, May 22nd. Early afternoon.
Its a classic Americana Bar. More like a Dive not bad. Expect karaoke or a local DJ on weekends theres an outdoor seating patio but of course its better in the summer-fall weather.
Its a very nice respectful bar. The bartenders are friendly Love this place first time going .
Best place in town the food is great and the people are wonderful the bartenders are awesome. The owner is great.
Not sure about the negative reviews and I really dont care. I get food delivered through doordash often and the food has always been amazing , tasteful , and fresh. Im definitely going to be coming in person to enjoy more of it ! The wings are incredible !! As well as everything else on the menu. In love with their food ! I need to come for bunch !
I dont want to make it seem like I didnt like the place. I did. I gave it 4 stars! My only gripe: They said everywhere that they had award winning Jumbo wings from a local competition. This place had good wings. Yes, they may have won an award. Im sure they did really, but for what exactly I am not sure. Maybe a wing type I didnt try. They also said Jumbo wings. They were not tiny, but they were average sized. Not jumbo. Not great wings.Im not complaining, I enjoyed the wings. But they just didnt seem Jumbo, or award worthy. I will say they were much better than I have had in some bars/pubs. Everything else was great. The place is OLD so it has a bit of character. Its been there since the 1880s I believe, and there seems to be quite a bit of original stuff.The best part was the patio outside. You could smoke and listen to some fun music. Jeff Searles plays there weekly. He puts on a fun show for a lone guy with a guitar.
In response to the last negative review. You definitely misread the crowd. I was at the bar and remember how you entered. Loud obnoxious, hooting and raising attention to yourselves. Of course the bar got quiet, you were looking for attention, you got it!! For you to blame others for your own actions, well is quite judgmental. All the bartenders are the most friendly, welcoming people I have ever met!!! As far as I am concerned shame on you for accusing racism. Look in the mirror before you judge. Maybe if you act like a human, you won’t get looked at strange and silence a bar.
Great ol Middletown home town pub. Great for 50 years at least
This used to be one of my favorites places in Middletown. However the serves during the weekends are different and treat people very bad, the raised the prices and the way they treat you is different. I had to go and get my own mimosas every time because the waitress was to busy doing nothing, in the past they waitress used to come every 5 minutes and check if we need another round. But now they just stay on the bar and you have to come and get your our mimosas, I’ll definitely look for a different spot for brunch with my friends, this is not the good and friendly deal any more.
We always have a good time at The Switch. The place looks great after a recent remodel of the inside bar area and the deck.
Ate there for the first time. Good wings burgers and fries. We’d come back.
Stopped in for lunch the other day and just wanted to say a must go !!!! What a great price for a large amount of food !!! The food is amazing - from the soups to the sandwiches !!!
Stranger in a friends bar 1200 miles from home and she takes me to the best local bar Ive been to. Made friends immediately, karaoke was on point, food was excellent for the value and everyone was calm and no drama but smiles all around. Seemed like the after picture of John taffers bar rescue
Atmosphere is the bestBartenders are professionalThis Place is like no other place when it comes to being Served. food is the best no matter what u r looking for. Give this place 5 stars. Jess, Rhonda, Sarah and Erin amazing. And can’t leave Cathy out!
I just moved to Middletown, NY a couple years ago. When I did, I didnt know anybody. I went to the Switch Inn one night and fell in love. Its an amazing local spot where everybody knows your name and makes you feel like youre apart of an amazingly huge family. Rhonda and Jess are spectacular at making you feel like without you, the place would be boring... even if theres 50 people in the room. The food is AWESOME 👌. Try the fried pickles!!!! Love you guys at the Switch!!!!😘😘😘😘😘😘
Love The Switch!!! Beautiful bar, great staff, great food, great live music! They are doing a great job with disinfecting and enforcing capacity limits, mask wearing when not eating and drinking, and social distancing. I felt safe and had a wonderful time! Thank you!!!! ♡
The service is stellar! Topped with a great friendly and warm environment. My dear friend used to called it “Home-base”, the reason behind this was that when you slid through the Switch Inn for any occasion you felt safe, and celebrated. From Karaoke to live entertainment or just to grab a drink and a bite to eat they literally have it all to their award winning wings 🤤 to the staff they keep.The Switch Inn is a hidden gem in the heart of Middletown, NY and I couldn’t recommend it high enough. If you read this and decide to go let them know Keith says cheers!
This is a great dive to grab some wings,a burger or the nachos with a few friends. Th drinks are cheap and the staff is friendly. I definitely recommend to anyone not to good to have a good time
The bartender/server was super nice and friendly. Our food was absolutely delicious! Were already planning to return in a week!
This is a awesome place. Very kind people and staff. I highly recommend this place.They helped me big time with the unfortunate suddend passing of my dad who was loved by many as the karaoke DJ at the switch in with party time entertainment. I am very grateful for all the love, help, kind words and support from the Switch Inn, its owners, staff and customers. Again I would highly recommend this place.
Horrible :( I used to love them by this weekend was horrible!! The girls in the bar were so mean. I’ll definitely look for something else. This was ok but me and my friends agreed this is not he spot any more
Love this place! The staff always makes you feel at home. All the bartenders are awesome and the owners are 100% great people. The karaoke DJ Marc is a really nice guy and the cook never let me down!
We came to the Switch Inn with my friends bachelorette party this weekend and had a blast! The live music was awesome and the service was incredible, everyone really took care of us and made sure we had a great time.
Great bartenders, great specials and I love the grape guy
Food was delicious, fairly priced. Great service. Good atmosphere. I really enjoyed it, will return. Thanks Rhonda 😚
My go to place in Middletown. Always top notch and friendly service from the girls behind the bar. Really good food and hope to see the entertainment back soon! Newly renovated in vintage form, they did a great job with it.
The Switch is a great place to go to. Its got a nice homey,quaint atmosphere. You can just go to have drinks or watch some sports,maybe catch a nice meal and their food is DELICIOUS. Great regular bar food staples plus many mouthwatering good homestyle entrees ! They also have karaoke twice a week on Thursdays and Saturdays which is great fun and live music on Fridays nights. They have many themed parties for holidays and other events like psychic readings and art shows. There are 2 outside decks which are nice in the summertime too. The bar staff are wonderful people and friendly. Overall,The Switch Inn is a great destination!
Really a friendly place. We went as a large group and the went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Our server Sara was delightful. Our host Ron was wonderful. Its a small tavern with a great history. Food was good. The ladies loved the bottomless Mimosas. Thanks!
Sarah the bartender is by far the best server that I have ever seen. The switch has had many of workers but not like this one. A true works with a sense of interaction. It’s hard to come by. Give her a raise!!!
I would give this place five stars. The food is good, the vibe is good Jess the bartender is phenomenal. But Rhonda is the worst. She’ll lie straight to your face. You could walk in there stone cold sober and she’s rude. Other customers feel the same way. I’ve watched her kick people out just because she was annoyed while people were having a good time. She doesn’t need to work there. I’ve watched her start trouble with people for no reason whilst I was sitting pretending to mind my own business. Kinda sad for a local hometown bar.
Great place to drink, eat, or just have a fun time. All of the staff and bartenders are great, though I usually go during the week while Sarah is bartending, and shes always good for a laugh and quick service. Highly recommended if you’ve never been before
Good meal for a bar, excellent staff. the musician was very entertaining as well.
I went in to The Switch for a couple beers and some food! Food was good and the service was great. I had a very lovely bartender named Catherine. She was super sweet, attentive and smiling the whole time. Was a good all around experience
The Switch has become one of my all-time favorite spots to drink, get food, hang out with friends and even to play music. Jess, Rhonda, Cathy and Sarah are all fantastic bartenders so it is hard to choose a favorite because they are all so friendly and helpful. I feel welcome here and thats great cause I need a familiar hangout spot.
I went to the switch inn thinking it was just another normal bar and grill but when I arrived there the staff was so friendly I felt like I known them my whole life five stars hands-down.👍
Thursday’s at The Switch is always great. First because Cathy behind the Bar always with a smile and refreshing during, always remembering my order which is important because of my diabetes... then the buffalo wings... then real Buffalo Wings come out of Chef Nasyr’s Kitchen I mean BUFFALO WINGS and some comedy provided by Pat who wanders between PG and R how I like it.... and I am set.
I’ve been here before and experienced rude bartenders, inattentive. Recently gave it another try on a week night and experienced the opposite. Going to a place where you can have a genuine conversation is pleasant and appreciated. Service such as this is what makes customers want to spend money. I should have got the blonde haired girls name
Completely love the atmosphere of The Switch Inn, love the friendliness of the staff and how they are all very personable. They remember and greet you as family! I travel from afar just to enjoy the wonderful friendly atmosphere, service, staff and local people that come to The Switch Inn. The food, service and friendliness is top notch! Thank you all!
I was part of that big group so negatively reported below. I had a very different experience. The staff was friendly, and did a herculean job considering the number of people and that we needed separate checks. The food was good, the bottomless mimosas a terrific deal, and most of us had a wonderful time and would definitely go back.
This is hands down the best bar in town. Always good music and good people. The bartender, Kat, always has a smile and is easily the reason I come in here. When she is there. Its a guarantee I will be too
The swith is the best place to meet wonderful people and make new friends. The bartenders are the best very friendly I love Jess and Rhonda. Keep up the good work.
Very very horrible place. They don’t care about their customers, I left a review about the service and their excuse was about COVID . I’ll never ever ever will back here. Thank you to the new people that works here during the weekend because of them I had the worst experience ever.
Great food and atmosphere. Very popular and a good place to meet up and plan a get together. I suggest you give it a try and have fun.
Great service and inexpensive drinks!!
Bartenders Jess and Rhonda (for the real ones, Jhonda) are some of the most important positive forces in the local community and its impossible to overstate their influence. We are lucky to have such genuinely kind and thoughtful people serving drinks to us. I feel safe at the Switch, and by association Middletown, and its largely because of them.
Great lil bar. Food is pretty good. Has a nice outdoor seating area. Everyone is friendly no one bothers anyone. The bartender are fantastic especially Jessica
Wonderful experience food is delicious drinks are very enjoyable. The bartender SARAH the best server makes you feel comfortable the second you walk in to the restaurant..
The boneless chicken wings (hot) were cooked just how I like them. Good quantity, great quality! I am back in the area frequently, and will definitely be going back!
What a great place! Great staff! Nice place to stop by to meet up with friends for a drink and have a bite to eat! Love the atmosphere...!
I always have a great time at the Switch, especially when Catherine is there. Shes very attentive and knows how to make her guests smile and laugh. Most of the time I call ahead to ensure she is working.
Recently started going there. Seems like a pretty nice place. Didnt sense any attitudes there. Owner and staff very nice! Havent eaten there yet, but Ive seen the great deals, and the food smells great. $5 pitchers of Coors!
Fun spot for light bar food and drinks, great atmosphere and super nice staff. Love this place and 100% recommend it
Great place! Great atmosphere, great owners and crowd. The band Seventh Advent played live which was fantastic. Will definitely return. Five Stars 100%! Oh and I heard the food was awesome too!
Best bar in town! All the bartenders are amazing and treat you like family! Food is amazing too! Try the cajun chicken wrap! Its to friggin die for! Shout out to Rhonda,Jess and Kathy
Sara!!!! Is the BEST server iv ever had!!!! bartending skills far exceed others by far!!!!! She went beyond and above what any other bartender would your the best Ill be back 1000000% bc of you!!!!
This is a very awesome place to hang out. They dont serve Henny here which keeps out a certain crowd if you choose to have a calm night of drinking with friends and some pool. Unfortunately my favorite bartender will no longer be working here so I will no longer be going here.
Eighteen of us took over the dining area of The Switch Inn for brunch. The weather was rainy and nasty 🌦🌧 so we couldnt eat outside on the patio. ☹ However, owner Ron and Server Sarah were so warm, friendly and accommodating - Ron even brought out brand new tablecloths to cover all the tables we had rearranged into one BIG long table. 😀 The unlimited Mimosas 🥂🥂 were flowing, my breakfast burrito was amazing, and we all had a wonderful time. When we come back, Ron says hell figure out an unlimited Bloody Mary deal for those of us who prefer them to Mimosas. Yay, Ron! Yay, Sarah! Yay, Switch Inn! 😀
Great food, great staff, and great service! Will return again when visiting. P.S. their fried pickles beat VA fried pickles hands down!
I enjoy going here, family oriented, food is good and the vibe is good. Sarah the bartender is phenomenal, very attentive and such a pleasure to be around 5 stars all the way!!
Hey its Tommy Tip Toes, I think Sarah is awesome! She once tap danced on the bar and poured me a captain and coke! Talk about talented!
Cant tell much was pretty hammered but I had fun
It was a nice friendly place. Due to Covid we had to sit outside with heaters. But, that was a good thing. They are following the covid 19 complaint.
I was also part of a large group there for brunch. I enjoyed brunch there and I found the staff to be very accommodating. My food was delicious and worth the wait. I will definitely return for brunch.
Good food and beer is always cold. Cathy is the friendliest bartender in town and her chipper attitude keeps us coming back.
Had an amazing night at the switch inn. There is nothing better than feeling apart of the switch family. Thank you to Rhonda and Jess for always making me feel at home.
Great place great service great food and especially great drinks
Sarah is awesome!! I’m always out of town. Instantly made me feel like I was at my home town bar. Food was great too!
Order a quesadilla that has no seasoning and extremely to much cheese. A glob of cheese and chicken on tortilla. Very bad down fall. The chicken is here is good though.
A decent local pub. I do miss their pool table.
Been going there last 3 months awesome food and friendly place. Bartender sarah was great first night I went there and only place I go now.
Matt Jones was looking for trouble and was asked to leave the bar and not to return.Excellent BarExcellent BartendersExcellent CrowdOccasional live musicThis is not the generic watered down short fuse downtown Middletown scene
The Switch Inn is a great neighborhood spot. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Food is amazing! Thank you Josie & Ron!
Never been to a bar to where the bartenders know not just my drink but my jokes, sarah is amazing. heart is happy
This place has delicious food, I love eating the chicken wings & going here for brunch on sundays! Nasir is an amazing cook always making great food !!
The bartenders are extremely friendly even though they were 30mins to closing up early the greeted our patronage with open arms and served us well I see myself going back soon
The food is GREAT!!! They have your regular pub food but the specials are things you would never expect to see on a Pub menu. The prices are also amazing!
Ex blow spot...?.... decent food limited hard liquor...mostly a beer bar...never like this coke spot but same owner new crowd...its growing on me
I love this bar! The food is amazing, people are friendly, and the service is quick. Clean and well maintained.

Only bar around town that stays open on a Tuesday until 4am. Nice to see a bartender that can make you laugh. I recommend
Nassyr Is probably one of the best cooks that ever cooked my food . Can’t find nothing good like grandmas food ? come here and have him cook your food you won’t be disappointed 😀

Should change the name to the Sarah Switch inn ! What a ROCKSTAR she is , I only go if Sarah is working she’s the best.
I usually lose in pool against my friends, but Cathy behind the bar makes up for it. Best bartender in Middletown
Good casual spot and easy to access location. Not many great options in middletown and this is one. Food is great, burger and onion rings are my pick.
Great food and drinks. Service and atmosphere are perfect for a quick lunch
Sarah is a awesome bartender! Always a pleasure having her behind the bar.
Jess and Rhonda are the best , I love them , I really do , they make you feel right at home and relaxed

2022-05-04This past Saturday, the Switch Inn provided us with the perfect space to celebrate the life of my brother who recently passed. The food and drinks were great,, reasonably priced and the staff allowed us to decorate, bring our own sound system, and use their TV for a memorial slide show. Josie and Ron were INCREDIBLY accommodating and extremely helpful the weeks prior during our planning period. The support staff the day of were incredibly friendly and attentive. The Switch Inn is filled with warmth, good food, and amazing people. I am incredibly thankful we were able to host this tribute to my brother at this venue.

2022-06-21Had a surprise party for my sister here on Saturday. We ordered food from the kitchen in trays and it was literally the least stressful party I had ever planned. The bartender, Sam, took care of taking the food out when it was ready, food was great and hot. Such a wonderful atmosphere. The bartenders, Sam and Jess, were so professional and friendly and attentive to our needs. Never had to wait for a drink. Everyone kept saying how great the service was. They even took the time to change the propane tank out on the deck for the fire place so that we could turn that on outside. Overall it was such a wonderful experience and I will totally be back!!Thanks for making my sisters 30th memorable!

2022-04-27One of the friendlist welcoming places. The bartenders always friendly and attentive.My friend Mark who was from out of town but we worked together in town this was his favorite bar. We used to hang out there and drink beers and eat the best chicken wings ever! Sadly he passed away but Ill always remember the fun time we had there. I think it was Jess? Who was always so Kind and caring to all. Of us. I. Believe once she shared her applesauce with Mark.Thank you for hosting so many happy memories I have with my dear deceased friend!

2022-01-20Great little place…. The boneless wings are very good. The bartenders are very attentive, talkative. As a first timer the experience was definitely good. They have this signature drink it’s called an Enchilada or something, tell them to hold the lemon juice and add lime juice. Sarah rocks
Review №5
2021-02-21The Switch Inn was an awesome experience. Our party of 6 went on a Sunday for brunch and it was a great time. The bottomless mimosas and screwdrivers were good. Jessica, our server, was the best! Very attentive and social. Shes an awesome person. Overall, this is a superb place that must be visited more often. Great job👍

2022-06-09Fantastic food. Great atmosphere. Bartenders Erin and Sarah both make outstanding drinks of all kinds. Very kind, courteous, and outgoing. Always have great recommendations for food and drinks.
Review №7
2022-04-20This place had great reviews, so I decided to check it out. We walked in and there were two white girls behind the counter and a white boy sitting at the bar. Once my fiance and I walked in, the place grew silent. The two girls behind the counter said something amongst themselves and snickered. I immediately got the sense that my kind was not appreciated there. The atmosphere felt like Alabama during the 1960s. Sensing the hostility, I told my fiance we were leaving. If you are Black/Latino, Buyer Beware. There are other restaurants in Middletown that are far more welcoming and inclusive. To the girls behind the counter and management, please do better. Or, not.

2022-04-23This is a response for the previous reviewer claiming discrimination because of the way she and her fiance looked when they entered the famed Switch Inn in Middletown. First off I am 44 years old and have been going to the Switch since, well lets say 21. No matter what day or time you walk in that place and it doesnt matter who is behind the bar they treat everyone the same. Like a patron, a customer, and oh how about this a human being. As a matter of fact I was at the Switch a few weeks ago, just missing brunch, and the place was filled with people of all sorts of colors of the human rainbow. And you know what? The white bartender was fully engorged in conversations with all people in the bar. So take the last review woth a grain of salt. The Switch Inn has and will be one of the greater spots in Middletown. One of the final few bars that arent ran by corporate. Take care of all customers (as long as they are paying) no matter what they look like. So hit up the Switch Inn if youre in Middletown, they have amazing food, great staff, amazing drinks and some of the best conversations you can have

2022-04-23Regarding Conservative Caridad and their reviews, I have never had a problem at the Switch Inn, and I have been to many a bar as an outsider. The Switch Inn is a local bar that has cliques but no drama and friendly staff. I had to use this bar several times because the town I was staying in next door had little to no cell service, so this place was a necessity for late-night work and contacting my family at a difficult time. If you’re looking for the hip new Four Seasons bar in Middletown, New York rock, I find it, and this is not the place. However, if you want a staple of Middletown and Orange County history like Rock Fantasy, DeFilippis Bakery, or Tony Boffa’s, this is the place.Conservative Caridad Has seven reviews that primarily deal with race and insecurity issues, not verifiable facts. I review establishments that have impacted my life, both positive and negative. I use Google and Yahoo reviews to help with my decisions because most seem reasonable and honest. However, Conservative Caridad’s reviews seem to want to tear down businesses with false accusations and unsubstantiated issues of racial discrimination. If these issues did happen, I would happily boycott these establishments until they closed down. However, this is not the Switch Inn I know and have been to several times. I would highly recommend it if you are in Middletown and need something more than the hotel bar with obnoxious karaoke or the wants to be NYC club off North Street.The Switch Inn is just a local bar with a lot of history welcoming staff and customers who are friendly or mind their business. I highly recommend stopping by to see for yourself.

2021-08-13I went for the first time last night and I have to say its a very friendly and arms open kinda place where everyone knows each other and for those who they dont know they are kind and treat them just the same. The bartenders were wonderful! They took care of everyones needs in a quick and caring manner and they also made sure to check up on me when I started feeling sick 😂 overall a good spot with no drama or stress. -SunShine came back today 8/13/21 and its still amazing here, great drinks and wonderful food! I got fried pickles!
