“This was my Daughter's birthday weekend and we wanted to Take her to one of the places that Guy Fieri Visited for DDD...making memories. What we got was so much more. Truthfully the Best dining experience we have EVER experienced. The hostess was super friendly and immediately made accommodations due to the fact that I am currently in a wheelchair. The atmosphere was astonishing!!! The food...we truly cannot say enough good things about an are planning when to take the trip from Vermont again to get more. We were blown away . However the highlight of our evening hands down was our Server Kevin!!! He made my Daughter's night ...focused on making her smile and gave her a piece of cheesecake to celebrate. We will remember this forever and simply cannot thank you enough“

“An absolute joy to be here. The bar tender Michelle was amazing. The atmosphere was great. Affordable and reasonably priced drinks. For being a first timer there I was satisfied. Played darts and pool listen to some good music. Talked with Michelle she was amazing super friendly. Met some locals and had fun dancing and interacting. Was told at entry they don't sell food which was not a red flag for due to the fact we was offered options instead of you're on your own. Much appreciated. Next time me and my wife visit Michael's bar is a go to.“

“The owner here is so kind and makes you feel part of the crew as soon as you walk in. It has two very distinct spaces (upstairs and down). The bar below is a very divey homey feel, and the one above feels more like a swanky cocktail place with a good sense of humor. Loved it here and can’t wait to go back.“

“Loved the space before COVID and the fires. Saw on Instagram that they are back in the MIT campus area. Should work on signage since I had to look for it walking around the buildings. I had the steak and cheese sandwich. It was delicious! With a side of fries. I am a wheelchair user and I appreciate the inclusionary touch they added to the new establishment. I frequently went to this place and stood at the bar most of the time.“
