What We’re About
The Vortex has been around since 1992 - serving burgers, booze, and all the classic bar foods you can't get enough of.
And you bet your ass it's gonna taste good and it’s gonna come with a side of snark (no substitutions). Here, it’s good to be bad. We don’t take anything too seriously except our commitment to create an environment where everyone has a damn good time. As long as you’re not an asshole, you’re welcome here. To all the regulars or you out of towners who have heard our lore, we invite you all to come in and enjoy your time here. So come on by, get a burger, a local beer, and let yourself get sucked into The Vortex.
Burgers, Booze, and Such
For over 30 years The Vortex has been grilling up the best damn burgers in town. On top of that, we offer a huge selection of local beer, spirits and cocktails, and serve some ridiculously indulgent bar food. Basically everything we offer is bad for you. It’s the kind of place your momma (and doctor) warned you about. If you’re looking for fine dining, health food, vegan or vegetarian dishes, or gluten-free options, The Vortex is probably not the place for you. No hard feelings. We just do what we do for the people who love what we do – our loyal Vortex fans.
The Soul of The Vortex
The secret sauce of this place is the people. It’s our staff having a good time (sometimes at your expense) and it’s all of our guests relaxing and having a great time. We consider it a privilege to share in the lives of our devoted patrons each and every day. After all, we owe our success to the continued love and support of this community. Everything we do, every decision we make, is always in an attempt to provide our supporters with the fun and unique experience they’ve come to expect from The Vortex. We love our faithful fans and they love us right back. When it comes right down to it, The Vortex really is all about the love.
How do you be a part of the magic?
Follow the rules and don’t be an asshole. Simple stuff really.
