They have a pool table and darts that add to the fun and entertainment! Excellent selection of beer and a great tap. Staff are the sweetest and I hear they have popups there sometimes too! Super dog friendly.“

“Classic, and favorite for a long time. Love coming back from time to time to check out there ever changing seasonal menu and some of their classic Mainstays. Always leave here impressed and longing to try more. Exceptional wine list offering value and yet sophisticated selections. I'm pressed to find a better balance of these characteristics on any wine list in the city. Elevated food and service without the pretention.“

“We rented the top part and watched it snow ... we were all there after our uncles funeral... This was his favorite restaurant...Wonderful food and our waiter was awesome ... Definitely will return“

“The perfect bar, I fear. I can’t believe I have ANY pictures in this place because I’m always just talking to someone or playing pool or queueing up songs on the jukebox. There’s something about this place that you can’t really take a picture of: the people are always friendly and chill, you can tell it has a low staff turnover rate, the food is ALWAYS good. This is the kind of bar which would be the ultimate muse for a poet from the 1800s. My one drink photo is an espresso martini that was made with love, but know that they put just as much love into every beer they pour. It just isn’t as instagrammable.“

“The guacamole 🥑 was amazing with the chips. Ribeye steak 🥩 was a great pairing with the pasta. Amazonian ice cream 🍨 was delicious. and a shot of espresso to finish was a very good combination of everything. Service was wonderful. Overall a great experience.“

We were asked what we wanted to drink right away and even though the taps blew we were led to other options. The food menu was the perfect size and the bartender answered all of our questions and even made us laugh a few times. The food was cooked right in front of us and it tasted so freaking good. Perfect bar.“

“Update: It's s probably been 2 or so years since I've been in. Was in the neighborhood and had to stop in for nostalgia. Service is just as good as I remember and the food is still top notch! Shrimp Po boy and the wings tasted like I remember. Love the addition of the On Trend: Fire : It Slaps cocktail menu.

Excellent craft beer selection beyond just IPA's. Food has been consistently solid for the 7+ years I've been coming here.“

“Everything was great. From the food to the service and even the prices. My husband and I went for Valentines day. We got the V-Day which was a birria pizza n desert for $25. My husband had the ground beef enchilada dinner. We both had a passion fruit margarita. The birria pizza was cooked to perfection. The meat was seasoned, tender, and tasty. The consome was 10 out of 10. My husband said every in the enchiladas dinner was good. The owner and his wife are very friendly. The wife took the order and had a wonderful conversation with us. Food didn't take long to prepare. Great experience will be back soon.“
