I booked a private event here and they were phenomenal. We had a private area, our own bartender and a table full of great food. The owners accommodated all of the things we needed and were extremely gracious about everything. We look forward to coming back as a group and on our own.
Great atmosphere and the live bands are always on point. Go see them for some tasty food and great music
Amazing bar with outstanding service! The staff is friendly, attentive, and always makes you feel welcome. Great drinks, awesome atmosphere, and a fun crowd. Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, you'll be treated like family. Highly recommend!
Good spot for late night food and drinks. Nice staff
Great little spot stopped for a quick bite before a show at the Norva. New menu!
When i'm downtown I just want a quick beer and a burger, and this spot is it. The beer selection is on point, simple menu, clearly listed prices. Looking at the menu I just expected overpriced pub grub and went with cheeseburger. The burger was a perfect med-well, slight pink strip and perfect sear. The hand cut garlic fries were great too. The bar tender was attentive and everything went great.
The service was attentive. Requested food suggestion from the bartender...great suggestion. Fried Chicken Cordon Blue was spot on and perfect. Onion rings were fresh and hot. Beer was cold and refreshing. Free Verse Hazy IPA 💕
Great little tap rap. When the upstairs is open double the seating. Beer pong and pool table. Standard bar menu with burgers and pizza
This was my first time eating here. I had a pleasant experience. We ordered the Froot Loop shot. It tasted exactly like Froot Loops! We shared a chicken roll appetizer. It had a slight kick to it, but was pretty good. I had the BBQ sandwich. It was ok. The fries were so good! They were like spiral planks. For dessert, we shared the fried cheesecake. It was soooo good with the chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream. The dining room was spacious and roomy.
This is actually a really good place! Great location with big windows for people watching. Nice variety of beers and good food. Tuesday nights they have a special where you can get any burger and any beer for only $10. It's a really good deal. There's an upstairs with pool tables and stuff.
