Cardozo's Pub is an absolute gem nestled in the heart of the city. Despite its basement location, the atmosphere is nothing short of fantastic! The ambiance is cozy, inviting, and perfect for a night out with friends or a casual date. The drinks are reasonably priced and expertly crafted, making every sip a delight. Visiting from out of town, I couldn't have asked for a better spot to unwind and soak in the local vibe. Though I missed out on trying the food this time around, I'm already looking forward to my next visit to indulge in their culinary offerings. A definite must-visit for anyone in search of a memorable pub experience!

Always double check your credit statement. On top of the automatically imposed 20% tip, This place still overcharged me compared to the receipt I signed on-site.

Gratuity of 20% (for 2 people just having drinks at the bar) was automatically added. The loudmouth bartender claimed she deserved it because she was alone doing the work of several people. Ridiculous and probably not legal since no mention of such a thing was disclosed verbally or even on the menu. The service was pretty bad on top of that. The entitlement of the person behind the bar is something else, we were too tired to dispute it but someone should. We won't be back.
Perfect dive in the heart of downtown, had good beer and a great "grandpa's basement" vibe. I will definitely be back for food!

A little hard to find, but glad we did! Food was okay, but the bartender and drinks were awesome! Not too pricy and a great place to catch up with an old friend.
