Snallygasters Cafe and Wine Bar

This little local gem is located in Bolivar, WV just up the hill from historic Harper’s Ferry on Washington Street. It has an amazingly delicious menu that I can’t wait to “break in”. They sell local beer, wine and spirits in a cozy and lovingly renovated historical building. A dozen plus various sized tables dot the original hard wood floor with intimate spaces to accommodate solo travelers, couples and larger groups. There are two separate bar areas as well. The friendly staff and warm and welcoming atmosphere beckon your repeat attendance. This is one of those adorable little places you want to share with your visitors from out of town. I mean, who doesn’t love a name like Snallygaster. Enough said, get your tush in here as soon as you can!

We got to Snallygaster’s at 10:30 on a Saturday and had plenty of seating, which was a nice surprise . The space is honest and inviting. Old wood floors, cozy tables, warm lighting, wine shelves everywhere. It feels historic but comfortable. Relaxing without being sleepy. The ambiance was completely on point. The drinks were so good. My latte was delicious and beautifully done, and the blackberry cocktail with fresh lime was refreshing and perfectly balanced. Not overly sweet, just crisp and clean. They have great hot, cold, and alcoholic options, so whatever mood you’re in, you’re covered. The food did not disappoint. Well done, flavorful potatoes with peppers, creamy avocado, crumbled cheese, and that green sauce pulled everything together. Fresh, well seasoned, and satisfying without fe

I love this restaurant! The food is outstanding and the food choices are creative and unique. My wife had the beef pot roast with risotto and I had the egg and chicken Caesar salad. Caesar salad is one of my all time favorite foods and they did a fantastic job with the chicken being very flavorful. The beef pot roast with risotto was delicious and my wife enjoyed it very much (I also got to try it and was blown away by the taste). We took advantage of their cocktail menu and talented bartenders to have some fantastic drinks to accompany our meals. The restaurant has all kinds of groovy old time artifacts to make for a cool vibe. The staff is made up of friendly locals who are there to make sure you have a great experience. I highly recommend this restaurant. My wife and I left there with g

They were out of chicken, lamb meatballs, ice cream and the special. My husband got a beet salad. Not enough beets walnuts or feta in the salad. Come to think of it…. There was not enough lettuce either! How can you be out of ice cream! That affects 3 out of four of their desserts!

Laid back Breakfast/brunch place with a well stocked bar. Menu options are not huge but sufficient. Lovely wait staff. Delicious food (too bad all of us had drives ahead of us and couldn't indulge in the cocktails). Large selection of draft beers and really good desserts. If you are in the area, this place is a must go for breakfasts and I would recommend trying their dinner menu too (which we didn't but the options looked really good).
