Blackthorn Pizza & Pub

The drinks were good and the places has a great feel to it. The pizza looked amazing but after 1 drunk a piece we left due to the horrible bartender service. She was stand offish and rude. We won’t be back, too many other great bars in town

We love this place. Great pizza. Lots of different kinds. I got the white sauced chicken and sauce pizza and it was great, my wife got the BBQ pizza and she loved it. The owner was very friendly and event let us sample some things on tap. This is definitely one of our favorite places. Only reason I rated it at 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the price. A little bit on the pricey side. But very good overall.

Decent pizza, great beer selection, but absolutely the worst service anywhere. Have waited over 20 minutes for a refill and for someone to take my food order on a slow night. Finally got up and left.

My boyfriend and I enjoy coming here on date night. It’s his favorite spot for pizza and beer. Prices are fair. The last time we went it was his birthday and the owner have him a choice of a two free beers or a free shot, which was pretty nice. Only complaint is that the service can by spotty sometimes, but then again we usually come in right before it starts to get busy.

Good selection of beer, with some new things to try. Food was pretty good (for bar food) and the staff was friendly. Pretty typical bar.

Outstanding beer selection. The pizza isn’t the best but it’s a bar. Great place to people watch as well!

You will be hard-​pressed to find a friendlier staff or better atmosphere in Joplin! Great pub and even greater beer & pretzels.

Service was great. It was a hole in the wale type of place. They charge you $ 5 to get in the door. Seriously I have never paid a door cover before (but only charged me $ 1 anyways). I wasn’t feeling the music older rock type and the group of people their just didnt see eye to eye with my style

I’ve only been once, but I had a good time. It’s a small to mid sized selection of beer but with a few interesting ones thrown in and a few seasonal specialties. Staff was nice, cool dim pub atmosphere, and a pool table and arcade in the adjoining room. My coat smelled like smoke for the next three days, but until Joplin sacks up and realizes that a smoking section in a restaurant (they serve pizza and even have a buffet at certain times. Definitely a restaurant.) is like having a peeing section in a pool you are stuck with that any place.
Still, I enjoyed it and would be happy to hang out here in the future.
Also, order at the bar. I didn’t see any servers, just the tender, so without a tab he isn’t coming to you.

I always come here every other Tuesday for a Drinking Liberally gathering. The place is the typical pub you might see in shows. The place is a nice little hole in the wall joint. But if you are not into the pub scene, it does have a arcade room for you to play some old school games. The pub supports local talent since there usually are local bands that come every night around 9.
Cigar, pipe, or cigarette smoker? This bar is smoke free so stand outside with everyone else enjoying conversations and night air.
The only problem that I have is that the service is not up to par with a typical joint. It seems most of the time we have to go and get help if no one bothers to come and see what a group of new people want.

Delicious pizza, good bands. Only one pool table. Very crowded late Fri/​Sat nights, but perfect during the week if you just wanna chill.
