If your old don't go to this place. It's packed full of young people and they are loud. There's music that sucks one band I think their name was trash bag had a saxophone player but they didn't play one Kenny G song. Old people should run from this place if you can run. I'd give it ten stars if I could. But 5 is bad enough.

I had multiple private parties here and played with my friends on the stage. The bar is nice. Enough space for people to dance. Pretty simple place, simple food. Nice sound! Thank you for great events!!

Urbani (Boccis) Cellar is a hidden gem. It's a great place to find fun townie weirdos and unique live music. But this review is specifically about their private event hosting. Matt and Jeff are easy to work with, and they know how to throw a party. We had a wedding anniversary/reunion party at Boccis in Oct 2021, and it was a smashing success. The groovy dive bar transformed into a groovy dive wedding reception. They catered from their own kitchen, making some great multi-course dishes that were totally consumed by our party of ~100 people. No leftovers. They were super accommodating and willing to work with our d*** ideas. We asked for appletinis and moscow mules on tap, and they made it. We wanted nice table cloths. They bought new table cloths. We wanted The Big Lebowski playing on part of their 270degree multi-projector display. They played The Big Lebowski on one side, a slideshow album of throwback party pics on another side, and another slideshow of our pets playing on another wall, all over a stellar space background. We had an epic time. And if Matt threatens that he will get drunk and get you up on stage to play some music and jam with him, beware. He will.

Overrated just a bar not number 1 late night I would go to another place. Not sure why this is number 1 only 1 star to get it off number 1

Truly terribly experience with this restaurant. Ordered through DoorDash, restaurant took almost 30 mins to even acknowledge the order. The Dasher then had to wait for another 30 minutes once they arrived at the restaurant while an employee was observed drinking a beer. To add to that, one of the items was stunningly burned (I honestly cannot believe the even served it), they forgot one of the entrees altogether, they got the sides wrong on two other burgers/sandwiches, and forgot part of another order. We will never order from this place again. What a disappointing Friday night dinner.

Very nice place! The bar is nice, the outdoor area is nice, music is good, clean bathroom, friendly staff, fair prices. What else you can ask for?

Ordered from Urbani Cellar through DoorDash tonight. We were trying to do the right thing by supporting a local restaurant, even though it's more expensive than the big chain burger places. Huge mistake. :( Three issues: 1) our order arrived short one burger. Apparently they did not have any Beyond Burgers tonight, but instead of contacting us to offer a substitution or refund the item, they just sent the order short one item. So now all we get for that missing item is a credit on our DoorDash account, for some future order. 2) We ordered fries with all three burgers and they showed up with tater tots. Not a huge deal, but still. 3) Lastly, for this price, you would think the burger would be dressed in some way. Instead it arrived with one tiny shred of lettuce, nothing else. No condiments, ketchup packets or anything. And the burger patty was heavily charred and appeared to have a bite out of it. So creepy. I am hoping it just tore during the cooking process, because I was hungry and ate a little off the other side. Sighhh... on a more positive note, my daughter ordered the chicken sandwich, called south of heaven. It was much more presentable, fairly large piece of chicken and she liked it. But the whole experience has been so disappointing, particularly the restaurant's lack of concern for refunding an item they knew they weren't going to fill. In my mind, that's also dishonest because they still got the money for that item and are leaving DoorDash to credit it for them.

I've never come here in person, so my first experience was via Doordash during the COVID-19 situation. I ordered the French dip with tots & queso and was very pleasantly surprised! The flavor in the sandwich was fantastic and the quality was great! The only reason I did not give them 5/5 is because the au jus was definitely refrigerated and not re-warmed & the queso was a bit too cheddar-tasting. That being said, I really enjoyed this meal and recognize that the current situation makes things difficult on restaurants. I was not disappointed and look forward to getting food in person once things settle down a bit.

Great place to host any type of event, banquet menus available, pool table, dart boards, giant jenga, outside patio that is dog friendly. Great food and always rotating local craft brews...and plenty of Rum! Be sure to say Hi to Chris and Matt while your there!

I didn't eat here but my friends did and they said the food was great. Drink prices are on par with other local bars. I really liked the feel of this place and the atmosphere. Very relaxing.
