Cute little spot. Jazz music really made it what it was on Sunday night. It created a fun and moody atmosphere. The food did take a while to be served. The waiter/bartender was friendly, and the vegan burger wasn’t bad! Overall, the music was the highlight. GF options are few, important to add GF pasta and bread to the menu as well as more dessert options. Hope they consider that!

Great environment, live music, friendly service, and excellent food. I love that the menu is vegan. Food service was a little slow, but it wasn’t too bad.

Excellent food and soccer on TV but not a sports bar vibe. Very chill. I had the fried fish sando (hearts of palm, capers, nori) which was fantastic. With a side of vegan Mac. A previous commenter says not everything is vegan but I didn’t see any dairy cheese on the menu and the barman said it’s fully vegan. My partner had the shawarma special. We had fun.

Not fully vegan, they have dairy cheese. Unwelcoming, no where to sit. Ignored by the bartender and no menus to be found. Tried to order online to just get something to go, the ordering section of the website was down. I'm from out of town and not the biggest bar person to begin with, so I wouldn't come back here if I'm in the area again.

Nice menu and very vegetarian and vegan friendly, I believe there is zero meat. Lovely place to watch a soccer match.

This place makes me feel like a regular person. Like I’m the same as everyone else, just hanging out at a local bar, eating pub food, watching sports, and listening to live music. Nothing pretentious, and nothing fast-casual-faux-healthy. The food was delicious and piping hot. Everything is made in house. Service is friendly. Vibe is… local bar - exactly how it should be. (Families with kids should be comfortable during meal-times.) It’s 30 minutes from my house and is totally gonna be my haunt. *Would be better if they got rid of the dairy-cheese-upon-request option.

Must stop when in New Haven. Great ambiance, drinks, and amazing food. Everything is vegan - there is an option to add cheese which makes it vegetarian but everything is default vegan. Menu rotates a lot but the Stake and ale pie is fantastic and I love the fried “fish”

Walked into this neich place and I'm so glad we did. Vegan food done right with an atmosphere that I would hang out in all night and watch a game! Excellent selection of beers including some eclectic ones. Bartender was on point with the spirits as well. We got sat and ordered and had our food relatively quick. The fried oyster mushrooms were out of this world. The chef knows his stuff. Can't rave enough about this place.
