“We just had our first visit here tonight and really enjoyed it. Good draft beer selection, games for the kids, and the food was also very good! Our kids really enjoyed the pancakes (mini fried pancake puffs) and the portions were large and my husband had the haddock with amazing beef tallow fries. I had the poke bowl but in my opinion it was lacking some sort of dressing or sauce. A little soy, ginger, sesame oil combo would be nice! We definitely plan to visit again.“

“We went midday with no one in here and it was great. The prices for the drinks are much better than what I pay at home. The bartender could have been more sociable but she was preparing for the rush hour I assume. There is plenty of seating and the heat on the outdoor patio works very well.
Being able to order food from below is great also. See you next time“

“What a great find! We were looking for a place to take a bunch of kids after a birthday Zipline adventure. Decided to try this and it was perfect! The upstairs is amazing! So big and spacious with a bar and balcony and party room with games.
I don't think they want to be known as a place for kids parties, but they were accommodating nonetheless and it was a hit with the kids.
They even had pizzas ready for us when we got there (I called about 20 minutes before we arrived).“
