It's not like the old bear's lair but it's decent.

What a great place, especially for families! The staff is friendly, attentive and bilingual should you be more comfortable speaking Spanish! Everyone at our table enjoyed their delicious breakfast of perfectly cooked pancakes, eggs, bacon etc! I know it sounds like a lot but order a biscuit for everyone to try at least a bite!!

Kid-friendliness: They’ll love the bear theme!

Utterly terrible service. Ordered dinner and 45 mins later found out the order was lost. Ordered drinks and had to chase the staff down to actually get the drinks 25 mins later. How is this even a business?

This place will deserve one star forever for being built on the grave of real Bear’s Lair.

I love the positive reviews and I guarantee that anyone who loved the food in the past is going to love it even more this year. Super talented chef, amazing menu and remarkably hard working staff. Do yourself a favor and stop in before a show

Visited here on game day and it was great place to have food and drinks beforehand. Definitely an older crowd around, but as we’re older it suited us fine. Away from the craziness in other bars. Nice seated area outside and selection of craft beers and food was good!

rose Griffin
