Review by Clemmie Haley

December 01, 2024

The Dinky Bar & Kitchen offers a lovely casual vibe right by Princeton University. I enjoyed their margarita flatbread and chicken wings, which were flavorful and worth every bite. The drink selection, especially the crafted cocktails, is impressive - perfect for unwinding after a long day. The outdoor seating adds a nice touch. While our server was friendly, the service could be a bit faster during peak hours. Still, the cozy atmosphere, plus complimentary apples for the kids, makes this a solid spot for casual dining! 🍏
