I thought this place was a blast. Really nice hostesses and servers. We were there on a very busy night and got seated within 20 minutes. We got some fun drinks and a giant pretzel which was fantastic. We ordered the fried pickles which were probably the best I've ever had. The birria tacos were amazing!!! Only reason for 4 stars is the price. It was a little expensive but that's to be expected in PB. I'd still go back.

Super fun place for good beer and food. The rooftop seating area gives you a nice view of the water. The Ahi tuna nachos were BOMB and super filling. The burger was solid as well. Friendly and quick service.Definitely would recommend stopping by!

We had a work function for ~20 ppl. Our party size outgrew our allotted space, but the staff flexed to support us. We ordered multiple rounds of drinks and appetizers and the staff did and awesome job keeping everything flowing. I can say I'm a big fans of their wings and carne asada fries. Looking forward to going back. A few of us shifted to the upstairs bar and enjoyed the view. Great spot and great view from upstairs.

Came here to enjoy dinner with a sunset ocean view on the rooftop. It was a little awkward getting seated at first but once we were taken to our table, our server was great. Enjoyed our burgers and drinks. View and food is worth it!

Flatbread pizza 1/2 size of last summer. Tasteless we ordered Italian almost no cheese or sauce. Chicken wings ok but came with only one carrot and one celery. Last year they had more carrots and celery too Prickly pear margarita tasteless! Could not even drink it. Service was mediocre on rooftop deck. Would never go back there again and we were loyal customers for 12 years

After just getting into town, we stopped off here for a lunch to feed 5 hungry teenagers. It didn't disappoint! The service was great. Beers on tap were great! And the burgers were perfect!

Stopped here during our bar hopping. The service and food is good. Definitely a better place to stop and eat than some of the surrounding places. I shared the mac and cheese with chicken. It seemed like a smaller portion than I was expecting since we were sharing, but I didn't leave hungry. Just enough for two adults if neither is starving. P L E N T Y of cheese sauce. I'm saying that like a good thing! Needed a touch more salt but nothing I couldn't fix at the table.I'd come here again for sure.

Overall, the food was really good and if they weren't out of so much that would have been five stars. The service was great and atmosphere was fun. I would definitely go back.Parking: The available parking was terrible, but this whole area has very limited space so we already expected it.

Went here today and while our waitress was very friendly and attentive, I asked her when she brought the bill if there was an extra fee added on the bill 'like a tip', and she said NO. So I gave her a 20% tip. I asked for a receipt after and sure enough it had a 4% surcharge! The manager came over and said she probably didn't understand and pointed out that the 4% surcharge is disclosed at the bottom of the menu (NOTE: it is there and we missed it but it is also in the tiniest font possible). She said she didn't agree with it but it's the restaurant's policy. She then asked if she could adjust the bill but we declined because quite frankly it is the principle of the matter. She asked what else they could do about it, and we said 'just train your people not to misrepresent' aka lie. To that, she rolled her eyes and walked away. I do feel sorry for the staff of restaurants that engage in this shady practice, I really do. They and the customers are the ones that get screwed over. Where else would you buy a product at the stated price (and include a service tip) only to find out afterwards that they tacked on additional hidden fees?! Dear restaurant owners: Go back to the way it was and if you have to, then raise the actual food/beverage cost and allow the customer to reward good service as warranted but do not engage in this tom foolery. And by the way most of these establishments including this one are still operating with expanded seating capacity post Covid so don't give me this crap that you have to 'cover your losses/expenses' or whatever. Just be transparent!!

The beer burger was great. I substituted French fries for sweet potatoes. My friend got the steak and she said it was good. The service was ok, the bar was full because it was St. Patrick’s day so I am considering that, but we don’t appreciate when they bring the bill when you didn’t even ask for and you are still eating. I liked the ambience, the songs…it’s a bar so it’s loud.
