Food is always great here. Craft beer selection is very good but also a good selection of domestics. Cocktail menu is fun and regularly updated.

We used to love coming here but since the time we first visited the feelings have drastically switched. The food was priced higher multiple dollars higher than the menus online list, the dog park was unmanaged to the point of people were leaving because the bar had no issue with people leaving their jumpy dogs in there unattended while they were inside playing pool for close to an hour an a half. We watched every person have to annoyingly ask why their food was taking so long and it was a slow time in the restaurant. My food tenders came out a solid 15 minutes before my partners burger came out. It was hard to get any service at the bar which is where you have to order and the rail was nearly empty. Probably will not be back in due to all the charm leaving and prices becoming arguably too expensive for the quality and level of service we have experienced the last few visits.Edit to add: the reply is very backhanded. We went in expecting to spend a certain price because the last few years has hit everyone’s pockets we had a budget set and it was upsetting for the bill to be higher than listed online. We have been coming consistently for a while and while prices were definitely not higher than they are now our meals we ordered came with drinks and no longer do. So the price is higher than advertised, the appeal of free drink with meal was gone and the service was pretty deplorable, I’d imagine the staff hired would at least have competence of checking on their few guest. We were not the only people there that meal who were audibly annoyed with speed of service.

You place your order at the bar and help yourself to H2O and condiments/plates. But the burger was just as good if not better than 5 guys and I love that it’s dog friendly. The drinks are good! I had the spicy margaritas and Moscow mule. AlsoParking was very easy.

The food was ok but took almost an hour to get out.The service was neglectful.They add a 20% gratuity, don't tell you but still include a tip line which isn't really needed due to the service.We've given the place a couple of tries, but won't be back.

We went here for brunch while staying in town with local friends for a fancy St. Elmo dinner reservation, & I daresay the bite of the weekend may have still been their wings. Their house rub was perfectly balanced heat & flavor, & double-fried wings are already goated when you can find them. I also loved their brunch spin on poutine, which was a generous portion for the price. The atmosphere is eclectic but in a curated, low-key way - I like the tasteful mix of salvaged old bar fixtures in the open, otherwise spare & cozy space, and they have a nice cocktail menu with a little bit of something for everyone. If I lived in town, I'd be hitting this place up at least once a week, & I'll definitely be back next time I visit.

When you walk in here, it's hard to believe that this used to be a brewery. Now it's a neat dive bar (albeit huge) with some interesting food choices (Chicago dogs, housemade soft serve ice cream).

Visited this place for the first time on a Saturday night. There was a sign "Please wait to be seated" and we were ignored. So many people were walking by us, not acknowledging us and eventually one of us had to corner a person and ask if we could be seated. There were barely any customers but the service was so terrible. As far as the food, it was good. My only dislike was the chips. They are advertised as a bbq chip but there was no spice and more like a vinegar chip to me. Lastly, they force 20% gratuity on customers transactions. You can add additional, but the charge 20% to your bill no matter.... Never seen that. Overall, this place has potential but they need to work on their customer experience.*The "please wait to be seated" sign was posted near the door on the back of the hostess stand... Why would you have that sign if it's never supposed to be used? Also, if it's self seating, why wouldn't one of the many people who saw us standing there not say that? Just own it.

I have been here three times and each time felt like a unique experience. The first time was a little confusing as to how they operate. The entrance puts you in a large room with a pool table, a few booths and a pickup counter to the left. To your right is the bar and more seating. Initially upon entering it is unclear whether or not you should seat yourself or wait to be seated. Probably could use a simple "Seat Yourself" sign. And then it's also a little unclear if a server will come to your table or if you should order at the bar. I have experienced a combination of these options and I think that makes it a little off-putting for first time diners. The atmosphere is great and I like that the tables are not crammed together allowing for some personal space. The staff has always been friendly, although sometimes it seems that they are disorganized (forgetting things, different servers/bartenders attending to a single table). Again, this doesn't ruin a dining experience for me but it doesn't exactly build confidence that things will go well the rest of my time spent there. When I sat at the bar on my last visit, I would finish my drink and sit with an empty glass for a good 10-15 minutes before getting asked if I want another drink. One of those establishments where you have to be a bit more forward as the customer to get service. I really don't have a problem with that, just not used to it. As long as the staff doesn't act like I'm inconveniencing them, then I have no problem with the way they work. My first time here was just after they had opened and there were not photos on the menu, something that they have been updating which is very helpful. I had a hot dog meal which tasted great the first time that I was here, doesn't seem to be on the menu anymore, unfortunately. I also had their homemade ice cream and it really is as good as it sounds. My second time here I had an array of starters. The pulled pork nachos and the cheese curds where really great. Pickled red onions on the nachos were fantastic. The last time I was here, just a few days ago, I had the BBQ burger and fries instead of chips. The fries had great seasoning (on the saltier side which is my preference) and were a great texture, not crunchy or soggy. Perfect level of crispiness. The burger had really great flavor. My one gripe with the burger was that the bottom bun was so soaked through that was just a wet, squishy mess. A BBQ burger is going to be messy and wet with sauce and grease so it's not entirely unexpected, just makes it a little difficult to handle. I also enjoyed the buffalo wings. Overall, this is one of my favorite spots to grab drinks with friends and then if anyone gets hungry, we can order individual meals or starters to satisfy everyone. I'd love to see an improvement in organization from the restaurant that helps new customers feel more accommodated and some additional starter options. Would love to see some creative southern comfort food that's fun for groups to sample together. Regardless, I will be back for more.

Food is amazing. Service is amazing. Jordan is the best server ever, and her homemade desserts are phenomenal :) 10/10 would recommend

Food was a little over-seasoned, but still good. Can't beat the nice local feel and exceedingly good for a little pub. The drinks are exceptional. Definitely recommend.

It's not often you go into a place, for the first time, then find yourself there 3 times that same week. From the esthetic, to the food, to the amazing staff, this restaurant had me in this state, the first week of 2024. If you haven't been, please go. Order the sweet potato fries with whatever entree your heart desires. They are worth the extra $2. They also have trivia on Tuesdays, Bingo on Wednesdays, and a wing special, which I will be checking out soon. The ambiance alone is worth checking out. There is something to look at in all corners of the bar area. Bonus, its kid friendly!!

I was highly disappointed in this experience. Probably one of the worst try-hard places I've ever been to. And I REALLY wanted to like this place.Server was nice but explained they were having issues with the tap. It was way worse than that. Mentioned miller high life being on Sale. Great! Oh wait... out of stock. Sodas? Flat. "CO2 problems". Then She disappeared, gave our table over to the bartender without communicating that to us or him apparently as she was back and forth in the restaurant on the landline phone, presumably with support, since their credit software was down. Way to communicate.We had to get our own napkins, only one roll of silverware was at the table but we all had finger food. wings were served (by the bartender, not the server) we had needed drinks already for several minutes (not wanting to bother the bartender whom at that point i had just assumed was helping out-), I had to go to the kitchen to find someone. They had to chase down the bartender since server was completely AWOL. Then after all of that, I bit in to cheese curds that were NOW cold and so over cooked it was nothing but breading. We had waited almost 45 minutes by this point. I mean is it too late to ask for my money back? I had such high hopes for this place.Oh the wings you ask? Couldn't tell they were Buffalo wings since they had so many other flavors... none of which match up with or pair well with Buffalo sauce. Frankly I almost wonder if they just got the order wrong...?The sauces they served ranch/bleu were extraordinarily salty (oh and no celery, at all, on dollar wing night. Not even in the restaurant. Someone tell their "chef" what mirepoix is. He's from the south you say? Oh then its trinity... but still includes celery. No wonder why they can't make a decent meal...). They tried to boujie everything up but instead made a mess with over salt, overly herbed, total mess in general. "Ranch"? More like dill pesto. With salt.Plus both the tap and sodas were absolutely messed up.......and no server to be found.Had asked about vegan options, as they advertised such options. Was met with a blank stare.Don't go here unless you absolutely just want to be disappointed. And spend too much money.(Bartender, you were awesome. Thanks my guy. You get 5)
