Food was ok but not many options. The staff was nice and helpful. The environment was loud, not very clean, and stressful.

Definitely worth the visit. The food is casual bar food with great burgers and crispy fries. The atmosphere is great.

The Old Guys Pub Crawl seniors, well, they are kind of the next step beyond being senior, well, anyway, we love this place. We like taking the boot challenge. We like being in the soft chair zone to the back left. It's a good atmosphere for Paul to work on his pickup lines. Who knows, one day one of his lines of crap might work on a lady. They serve beer here. We love that.

This is a very fun pub with an excellent menu and pricing! I had a big bowl of chili for $6 and some mulled cocktails at $6 each as well… good light and outdoor seating as well… ample parking is on both sides of the building.

Great food and laid back atmosphere. Beer choices were pretty basic, but the Buffalo chicken sandwich was totally on point! Even with the Buffalo sauce the breading was still crispy. It would have been a 5 star sandwich if there was a little blue cheese in there. I can't say the same for the pulled pork sandwich. While the smoky flavor was intense and delicious, it needed more BBQ sauce, and the meat was a bit dry as if had been made two days ago and refrigerated, then reheated. I'd eat there again though!

Nice atmosphere, just poorly managed. My Tab added up to $44, by their math once 20% was added it totalled $70. I pointed it out and asked to show me the receipt the bar tender knew it didn't add up correctly but tried to play it off. It's my opinion based on this it was their standard practice to rip folks off. Food was not great either.

Service was terrible. Waitress was nice but she disappeared after placing our order. Ordered drinks, never got them. Had to reorder them from the bar after getting our food. Good luck flagging a Bartender down, they are slow, stand around talking to one another or just plain ignore people at the bar rail.

Ordered over $100 in food, had to keep asking for what we ordered because several items were missing. Mozzarella wedges were good. Nachos gave the two of us that ate them food poisoning. Don’t order the Moscow mule, it’s 90% lime juice.

Wait time for the amount of food we ordered wasn’t bad. However, after being sick for the past 24+ hours, I would not recommend.

Nice quiet spot for lunch with great prices and wonderful adult beverages. Really nice that they offer a discount for first responders! Very cool decor from various fire and police departments. We will be back!

The bartender was alright, but you could tell she didn't want to be there...place was empty. Food was underwhelming.

Located in the brewery area near Manchester Road.

Attended on a Saturday night. Great crowd. Adult-Aged individuals, very mature atmosphere. R&B trivia night. Good drinks, good food. The bar was consistent and they were pretty quick with the service. You cannot order at your table you have to order at the bar and then you can order food from your table.

The restrooms were a little bit outside of the property but not outdoors, you have to walk into a common restroom area I think is shared amongst the other establishments but it was very clean. The seating area was clean it was very relaxed atmosphere very good R&B music. There is room for you to dance if you would like to dance also the vibe for just sitting and chilling. It gives off a very smooth easy-going atmosphere with good food and spirits. There are TVs inside playing sports on several big screens. A bar atmosphere but also mixed with a lounge atmosphere. Very welcoming and a good spot to come with friends. They also have a sitting area outside that's very comfortable as well. I will definitely return.

Vegetarian options: Definitely we need to look at the menu to see clarifications on food options

Dietary restrictions: Not sure

Parking: There are plenty of parking lots available to the area with multiple shared businesses

Kid-friendliness: No. Not in the evenings

Wheelchair accessibility: One level entrance

We were disappointed in the service and the food here. I really wanted to like this place. We came on a Saturday late afternoon to watch a football game. The place was empty and the bartenders were more interested in doing shots together than serving the 3 customers at the bar.

The food was bad. I hate to say that, but no other explanation. Burnt fries, dried out boneless wings, and kraft singles like cheese on the club sandwich.

The decor and general vibe of the place was cool. We really wished the food and/or service were better. If either one was decent, we’e try again but with both as poor as they were, we probably won’t be back.

As the day got a little later, it got a little busier for the pool tables and had a dive bar vibe that made me think it would be fun to hang out and drink beer, with no expectation of service.

Another note, and not their fault, but this is labelled as a sports bar online and it’s really not. It has sports bar vibes, but there are only a few TVs and more an after thought than the point.

Kid-friendliness: Fine during the day, but I wouldn’t bring kids here after 6ish.
