The bartender/server was great. She was attentive and got our complex order perfect without writing anything down. The fries were done perfectly and the burgers were good. The music was kind of loud for lunch. It would have been nice to talk to each other during the meal. The only reason I would not go back is it took far too long to find parking too far away.

We had the most fun with our server Tamara, went above and beyond to get us everything we needed and was so happy doing so. Hilarious sense of humour and a real character who made our night so much more fun, we’ll be back

I went on Sunday. It was super busy. Like out of seats busy by 1pm. So if you're going to watch football, I'd go early. Nice big tavern. Outdoor space, and I guess a big hidden patio where the group I was supposed to meet was, but no one knew where they were.They actually had the beer I like ($9 for a draft). And the people looked like all ages. The bartenders were nice, and the food was quick. The loaded tots ($10) were delicious. And there's a 5 story parking structure across the street that was pretty cheap.

I showed up after midnight, and the place was extremely busy. Very loud smells like beer. I guess it just really is not my type of place. Check it out for yourself and see what you think.

We stopped by for a group outing at True North! It was my first time here and was nervous when I heard it was in north park because parking is always a challenge! Luckily there is a parking structure right across the street that is a life savor! It is a very spacious bar ! We sat down and we were asked for drinks almost immediately and explained happy hour. We ordered the Slider Burgers with Fries , Nachos and Mac & Cheese and tacos . Everything was 10/10! I was soo impressed especially being from a bar! The Mac & cheese was my favorite ! The drinks were great and our server was awesome !We will definetly be returning ! And highly recommend !

I think I found my spot for Sunday NFL food. Tons of Teats, tons of drinks, and lots of food !! I got the Diablo burger and made it a double ! Also my wife got the carne asada Mac n cheese which she loved. We shared the Buffalo wings and siracha wings and I think those are a must try !!! Definitely coming back here ! Our waitress was amazing and was so helpful. Great atmosphere! Follow me on Instagram, YouTube, and Tiktok for more delicious food @cerogrubs !

It's a Friday night and there are no more than 100 people here if that and the bar is incredibly slow. It should not take 15-20 minutes to get a drink once ordered. These bartenders would not fair well in an actual high paced atmosphere. The music is decent so that's a plus. The waitress staff is a bit all over the place. They sometimes come to the tables and it takes forever to get a drink order in. It would honestly be much faster to go to the bar on a night like this and that's saying something considered how slow they are as well. It's not busy by industry standards but they are simply slow. Eh this place is just ok. Maybe it's an off night but I've been to better. Hell chilis is better than this with drinks. Id hate to see how long food takes.

The DMV has better customer service than this place. Absolute trash. If it was one bartender having a bad night, okay. But it was everyone that worked here. We sat down at the bar which had about 10 other patrons sitting at it. The bartenders looked at us and then.....nothing. Just sat there. Awkward. And just flat out weird. I did this rodeo for ten years downtown and even on my worst days of doing doubles with brunch and cocktailing from 8am to 4am the next day would i ever act like this. I work to make money and part of that comes from the service you give. ZERO HUSTLE. SO LAME.

Came here Saturday night to watch the UFC fight , Sterling vs O'Malley . It was a $10 cover to enter , which wasn't that bad . Got lucky and found setting . It did take a while for the server to come by. We ordered chicken wings , Brussels sprouts and seared mahi . All 3 dishes we're total miss, not good at all. How can you kiss up Brussels sprouts ?! You can see by the picture it was way under cooked. However, in the beginning the server was better at getting our drinks. Towards the end of the night , she was no where to be found. We had to walk all the way over to the bar to close out . They need to be careful because people could easily walk out. Overall, come for drinks not so much food.

Service isn't great. There are several people hanging out by the bar and our drinks are empty. The food is bar food. Kind of greasy. This place has the potential to be really cool. I would go here more if it were betterWe just like to hang out in north park. We don't go for the fights. I wish they would read the yelp reviews and do something to improve it.

Cool spot to hangout and watch sports. Their happy hour is great as well. Has a big variety of food for a fair price and it’s everyday which is nice. Back order on all the HH beer though so ask what is available. Had come to watch the fights, took about an hour to get them on tv. It was difficult to get our waitress to come to the table and order drinks. When I asked who I thought was our waitress to get another drink and close out the bill, there was a different waitress responsible for our table. Whole encounter was just really odd and put a dent in the experience.
