Says open from 11am-3pm for lunch on their door and online but they’re closed? Manager or server on laptop at bar had an attitude and disrespectfully told us no. As a restaurant owner, this is unacceptable.

We stop here often for cocktails and appetizers. The drinks are always fantastic. Lisa and Gene are excellent bartenders. Lively energy. Loud but fun.

A drink and an appetizer is $50. This is me getting my money’s worth.

Nice atmosphere. Service was slow as it seemed waiters were also waiting on customers at bar. Food was below average. I had buffalo chicken wrap which was just some plain chicken that they squirted lots of buffalo sauce on after the fact. Fries were dry. Drinks and cocktail menu offer lots of choices.

Twice have I came here during the week for happy hour and both times encountered the same blonde bartender. The woman did not try to make eye contact with me or my BLACK friend. We felt very unwelcome. She even told us the kitchen was getting ready to close but we seen her take food orders after we got second round of drinks. The first time we let it go, but for it to happen a second time! It's just unacceptable. I don't recommend this place if you are a person of color

Great pub atmosphere, excellent food and great staff. Only complaint is that it caters to commuters (train station) so hours are dicey.

A joke. I sat at the bar and waited almost 20 minutes for someone to show up. No one came so I left. There were absolutely no staff members present on the floor

First - Anya was a rockstar and somehow served almost the entire restaurant on her own and still provided a great experience for our group of 15! Anya made this a great happy hour event!

Second - They quickly accommodated our group of 15 on a Thursday after our original location fell through. They made it work very well!

Third - For those looking for a location that's great for a group all taking different trains, it's very hard to beat this location in OTC.

Food was good, place was full and loud, made it a win for our larger group. Nicely done!

I had a service dog with me. They easily accommodate us at a table on the patio outside. Food was excellent! Double cheeseburger with fries and drink for $14! I had fish and chips, which was excellent! 4 big pieces. Laura's service was great. We'll be back.

Great lunch spot for us. Quick friendly service, food didn’t take too long and tasted good. Music could’ve been a little quicker with the dining area being less than half full.
