Ok, this is a sports bar, definitely not what I would consider to be a SpeakEasy. However, I did enjoy this spot. The food was pretty tasty, and they have some good daily deals. The cocktails definitely left more to be desired, if they are trying to pass as a SpeakEasy that is. If they are going for the more upscale sports bar vibe - they have nailed it. Servers and bartenders left a little to be desired, but were kind and had good recommendations. The parking lot behind the restaurant...

Ordered thru door dash and my order arrived with no chicken on the cobb salad. Called them and Alex the manager apologized and asked if I lived close by I do and he offered to bring the chicken for my salad with a free soup for the inconvenience. I have to say that was pretty unexpected and very appreciated. Its not often you find someone who will go out of there way to make it right. Thank you

Waitress was attentive and professional.

Got the ribs and shrimp: Fall off the bone and just the right amount of kick. Shrimp was crunchy and light. The sides were just "okay"... salad was a bit wet, broccoli was the only vegetable choice.

Music was good, throw back 70s-90s.
