came here on a whim to have lunch on the Fourth of July! Was a great price for all of the food that I was able to get and it was absolutely delicious!

Basic bar, nothing spectacular but a great local spot. I appreciated that the chicken wings was made crispy as I requested.

Place looks like you’re in a weird commercial, but good crowd and decent food. Happy hour all day Mondays. Really solid spot to catch a game in the neighborhood.

Came here for trivia on Thursday night and it was so much fun!! We were a group of six which is pretty large and we didn’t get there early enough to snag a seat at the front of the house so it was kind of hard to hear the questions in the back. Still a lot of fun, great questions, fun host. Booming and full house. Fairly good service for how busy they were. Can’t wait to go again!

Okay 1. Love this place but wanted to leave a quick review as a “push” for the establishment. - I understand dog owners are frequent to this place but you serve FOOD!! And many dogs shed and hair floats. I’ve had dog hair float into my food one time. It use to be an ask that dogs stay outside. I think the establishment should stand firm in that. Keeps pets outdoors and not everyone is a pet lover. I’ve seen pets jump onto people, in the way at the entrances etc. - I think that bartenders should spread out at the bar a bit more, some times they hover in the same area not able to tend to both sections/areas of the bar. Otherwise, drinks are good and the vibes are good too, bar is a vibe and good social events for the neigborhood.

The food and drinks were delicious. I took a bite of the Fig Grilled Cheese was one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I've ever had. I also had the burger and tots and it was so good!

Super chill vibe! Stopped in during the afternoon wanted a change of scenery from my usual spot where I like to work. The bartender was super sweet. Checked on us to make sure we were good and she makes really great drinks! I don’t live far from this spot so I might make it my local go to! Been dying for a new place!
