“Love the atmosphere of this comfortably casual bar. Ample outdoor seating provides the perfect spot to sip a beer or two relaxing in the sunshine. I don’t eat meat so I haven’t tried the burgers, which come highly recommended. The garlic parmesan fries are excellent and enough for 3 people. Sorry I can’t say the same for the cauliflower wings or pretzels with cheese sauce. But I had the best-poured beer of my life—a fresh Scrimshaw pilsner in a sparkling-clean glass. See attached video. Despite the venue’s name, they now offer cocktails as well as beer and wine.“

“First visit but not last. Reserved booth for birthday dinner. Cozy, food tasty, service wonderful, blueberry lemon drop martini yummy. There were two parties there but they’re closed off from main dining room so it wasn’t noisy. Not fast food. They don’t rush you. We were there almost 3 hours. Nice spot for special occasion. Do make a reservation as it filled up after 6:30 on a Saturday night. There’ was live piano music as well as a separate, small sports bar that looked welcoming.“

“I had always passed this placed but not anymore.

I went solo one night and easily spent over $100, with food and drinks.

The quality of the food was amazing and I hope it keeps that same quality when I return. The drinks were spot on. Excellent bartenders.

The atmosphere was great. I even met 2 wonderful ladies and we went to another bar afterwards!

Definitely returning.“

“Hidden gem in the mall!! It is located in the 3rd level of Bloomingdale's. They have really good burgers and fries ! I tend to usually get the half salad/half soup/half sandwich option (you get to pick 2 out of the 3). Their service is normally amazing unless they are understaffed at the moment and they happen to get busy during that time. Must try their frozen yogurt at least once, i recommend the plain tart, with raspberry sauce and almonds.“
