Pretty standard bar, nothing special. More interesting places in the area with better deals

Fun neighborhood bar with a cool atmosphere and friendly staff. I've tried the buffalo wings, Philly cheese steak and chicken sandwich from here on 2 different occasions. The wings are great and I will definitely be coming back for more, however the chicken sandwich and Philly were both a bit bland and got extremely soggy after a few minutes. From now on I'll probably just go with the wings and a beer when I come here because they are awesome, but I will probably not have the Philly or chicken sandwich again. Would recommend this spot if you are looking for some great wings and a cold beer.

Nice bar, decent atmosphere, fun trivia and other events, but avoid it on Thursday nights. That's karaoke night, which USED to be pretty fun, but recently the DJ seems to be deaf and claims he can't turn the system volume down, read over 100db, literally couldn't stay even with earplugs. Also they're "cashless" now so that is what it is too .. sorry to see the place going downhill.

I just moved to the neighborhood, had no expectations walking in here, thought it was just a basic dive with bar food. Granted I only ate the wings but HOLY HELL they are the best wings I’ve ever had hands down. My friend and I kept reordering them. They are juicy, meat falling off the bone, perfection.AND the ranch dressing seemed homemade, like I am convinced they freshly picked dill from a local garden to mix in there. Literally just so delicious. I’ve also never left a review for a restaurant so that just shows you how much I felt compelled to leave one for this place! On top of these insanely good wings our bar staff was super friendly and attentive. Come here and them wings yall

BEST WINGS I HAVE EVER HAD. so juicy, came out piping hot, tasted fresh, ranch was homemade. I will dream about these after I leave town.Lots of good beers on draft and laidback environment. Outdoor seating nice option too. Family friendly but wasn’t dominated by children

Came here on a weekday afternoon to have a check-in with my boss. Found the atmosphere very laid back and casual that it felt like a low stress place to exist. Tried a deviled egg for the first time (my boss ordered it) and found them yummy. Got the double burger thingy and lasted me 2 meals because of how meaty the burger is ?. Also loved the type of crispy crunchy fries that came with the burger.

A rare place with Pliny the Elder on tap. Food is legit too.Follow up. Now in 2023 and it's been bought by new owners who are very disconnected from the community and the staff seem to dislike them. Sad for a place that used to be a real gem.
I really love coming to the karaoke night here. Also, the bartender is great too!
A great little place with plenty of seating, good service, excellent food and water.

We live in the neighborhood so we have been here several times but are not regulars. Everything is OK but it’s missing something that would make us want to go there regularly like other places.We went again yesterday and sat on the parklet, which was nice because it was a hot day with particularly went for the live music, but found out later that they had canceled it. That would really have upped the allure as College Avenue is severely lacking in live music, but the waiter informed us that some people thought the music was too loud and didn’t like it.Hamburger was good. French fries are good if you liked the extra crusty kind, but our friends did not enjoy their chicken tenders. Mixed Salad is big and tastes good.Dogs are allowed on the patio but there’s not much space for them. We have large dogs so we cannot take them.Metered parking or park at the BART free after certain hours or in the neighborhood for free.
