“Laser Wolf is a great local "Stranger Things" themed bar serving up a wide variety of cold brewskis. The walls are filled to the brim with nostalgic memorabilia from the yester years of the 00's. They frequently have food trucks that visit, ranging from tasty smashy crispy burgers, to their own fantastic taco express food truck (best hot sauce!) and even a legendary Geisha master shows up every now and then. Only negative thing is that they never have Sam Adams. Music could be better too. No reggaeton. Still 5 stars I think.“

“Finally got to visit after many years reading about and recently watching the live cam from across the pond.
Every bit as brilliant as I expected. The vibe was just like the picture painted in your imagination as you grew up in the north of Scotland listening to Steely Dan l. . . . And by you, I mean me.
Thank you Ebo Room for making an old Scot happy.“

“I use to love visiting this bar, until lately, the bartender would be really rude or ignore me. I guess it’s the Trump effect but I’m here not to hate or bash a place. Hopefully things would change and I’ll definitely start visiting this place again.“

Bloody Sundays

“Thirsty’s Pub is hands down one of the best neighborhood spots to relax, have a great drink, and enjoy fantastic company. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm, friendly atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home. The cozy, inviting décor combined with upbeat music creates the perfect vibe for a casual night out.

The drink menu is impressive, offering a wide variety of craft beers, well-made cocktails, and local favorites. I tried their signature margarita, and it was perfectly balanced — refreshing and flavorful without being too sweet. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to recommend a new favorite or whip up a classic.

Food-wise, Thirsty’s offers a solid menu of pub favorites. I had the loaded fries and the buffalo wings, both of which were delicious and generously portioned. Everything tasted fresh, and the flavors were spot on.

What sets Thirsty’s Pub apart is the welcoming staff and vibrant atmosphere. It’s a great place to catch up with friends, watch sports, or just unwind after a busy day.

If you’re looking for a fun, friendly pub with great drinks and tasty food, Thirsty’s Pub is a must-visit. I can’t wait to come back!“
