No non-alcoholic beer available, no draft rootbeer. Food is very good, service (for a large group) a bit lackluster.

Great food, the smoked old fashion is great. Rather disappointed in the night manager. Carlos our server was great. Manager kept his eyes down, never made eye contact, as if he was sorry he was there. Seats need some repair.

Went in to watch sports and they were absolutely no tables at all, no tables wanted to share the space at all when they are large tables, it would’ve been nice if we would’ve been able to get in

Looked cool at first. Host just gave us a menu and told us to figure it out basically. Walked around for 5 min before we found a table ourselves. Food was good. Happy hour was good. Our server made the difference. Probably wouldn't go back.

Pricey, but the food is good. They are definitely resort pricing. Great atmosphere and selection of beers

Wanted a steak and a beer, found a steak and several beer options!! Steak was cooked perfectly and the chimichuri sauce was out of this world!! Beer selections were plentiful! Sat at the bar, wasn't very busy, but the service was a little slow would be the only thing bad I could say about the place!

The restaurant has a nice vibe, but I sat at the bar, and there weren't a lot of ppl there, and the service was okay but not great. My sister and I had a request refills often because the bartenders didn't pay very much attention. The food was subpar for how much we paid. I don't feel like it was worth it.
But the bartender that checked us out did give a discount, which was nice, don't think this restaurant was my go-to.

When you walk in the walls of TVs and games are impressive. There is plenty of seating, although the stools are not very comfortable. The food is really excellent, but pricy. $22 for a sandwich is a little steep. Our server wasn't really friendly, but the rest of the staff seemed very attentive. Overall a good place to bring the family or visit for football and basketball games.

Kid-friendliness: There are several fun arcade games for the kids.

Great place for get togethers. Lots of screens with sports.
A little too noisy with loud music, hence the 3 on atmosphere.

Could have been better with effort. I wanted to spend money but the staff didn't want me to so I didn't.

I was actually pleasantly surprised that a sports bar could be as comfortable as this is. It's well designed for fans, with lots of screens for viewing, but at the same time, offers quiet(er) areas where one can have a conversation without having to shout over the noise!
The food is delicious, I indulged in a burger and truffle fries, and was not disappointed! Couldn't eat it all, but I certainly tried. The menu has a large variety of items, and everyone in my party was satisfied. The drinks are good and the service was excellent. Our server was friendly and on point. Nothing to dislike here. I'll be back!

The wings were very good. But a little salty overall. Although I am very sensitive to salt flavoring, this may be a 5 from anyone else. Great service, sports bar atmosphere with many TVs.
