Was a great place and bartender is superb… until the bill came and mgr apparently force codes the credit card reader to put in a 33% tip. Borderline fraud. Not coming back anymore.

I recently found this gem of a bar! It is a nice break from most of the stuck up restaurants/bars in the area. Kayla is an all-star bartender and only adds to the experience at this bar. The food is amazing too, the home made pizza and chicken parm sandwich are my favorites. I’ll definitely be back!
I ordered one bottle of beer but was also charged a 3% admin fee and a 20% mandatory gratuity.
Service was slow. We actually left after waiting about 20 minutes to order a second beer even though it was not that busy.
The Weather Channel was on, which was pretty weird.

This pub is like stepping into a basement in 1978. Th decor and The music was very nostalgic. The bartender/waitress was lovely, engaging and cheerful. The food was pretty mediocre but it wasn't bad at all.

I recently visited the place and it was a letdown in every aspect. The place felt outdated and smelled old. The drinks and food were just as disappointing—everything I tried had a terrible taste.
To top it off, the staff was rude which made the experience even worse. Save your time and money. There are plenty bars around.

Surprisingly pricey pub food. The food was just food, not great, not terrible. Thought at least for the low quality of food, it wouldn't be so much money but for the fish & chips, Parmesan chicken sandwich, and 2 Coronas we paid nearly $65. The waffle fries were good, if I come back I'd get those again.

Service and atmosphere are good. They charge an automatic 20% gratuity to the tip, didn't see any notice of that written anywhere.
Great drink specials..... Not crazy about the 20% added gratuity. Let me decide what to tip.

A nice basement bar with an old school atmosphere. Awesome service. The beer prices were a bit higher than average which didn't make sense given the "old-school" atmosphere. Also there was a 3% "Admin Surcharge" and a mandatory 20% gratuity which I would have no problem with if we were eating but 23% on a $9 pint is absolutely wrong. I'm sad that I'm priced out of this place.
