Kind of unfriendly hosts, needlessly aggressive on a quiet night. Wait staff was fine though.

Awesome spot. Incredible bartenders. Excellent food. Highly recommend.

Daniel Riek

Big plus for serving different types of beer in the matching type of glass.

Olin Richter

Honestly pretty lame food, turkey club and a Guinness was $36 (including 18% tip), Guinness tasted weird too. Good service tho

Peggy Black

Great beer selection

Great place I usually come for a night cap or some munchies. However the pornstar martini was not it... probably why it comes with prosecco. Our waitress thankfully removed the drink.

We had waffle fries and the chicken nuggets which I highly suggest!

ASK FOR REESE! Her service was awesome. Food was great and we left totally satisfied. We’ll definitely be back.

20$ for the crunch wrap. Thats insane pricing for the size of what came out.

Matthew Griisser

Poor quality beer and food.

Beer had a metallic/mineral off taste, probably from not cleaning the tap lines. A friend of mine had a similar issue here in the past. I've had the same beer at Dragon Pizza down the street and know what it should taste like.

Buffalo ranch wings had no discernable flavor. No spicy, no sourness and barely any flavor to the chicken itself.

We really enjoyed this restaurant - I would highlight the service and atmosphere in particular. We were welcomed immediately, and received friendly, attentive service at our table. Our waiter frequently came by to see if we needed refills or wanted to order something else. The atmosphere was lively but not overwhelming - not always an easy combination to find. I would definitely return.

Food, Service, Atmosphere all 5 Stars. But overall they get 4 Stars for the "4% Hospitality Fee" they sneakily slide onto your bill at the end.. You can call it whatever you want and try to justify it's reason, but it comes off as an additional money grab. Adjust your prices if you have to, I'd rather pay true menu price / cost of dining, than have you sneak in this fee to pretend that's how you keep your prices down. Sadly I waited at the bar before dinner and had drinks only, I still got hit with the Hospitality Fee, so should I deduct that from the bartender tip then? I gladly paid it at both bar drinks only and dining room dinner. A wonderful place to dine and have drinks, I just don't appreciate the tactics. Keep pricing and tipping traditional.

Vegetarian options: Non trivial vegetarian options: tofu, falafel, veggie burgers. For a beer joint it's quite good.

We got great service and really enjoyed the food. I recommend the lettuce wrap app and the grilled banana bread dessert, for sure. Tasty drinks, as well

Vegetarian options: Very nice service and very close to The Crystal Ballroom, so great place for a pre-shoe meal.

Great selection of beers on tap (Trillium can be found here!) They also have tasty food dishes and great staff!

I took a chance on this place after walking by it countless times on my lunch breaks, and reading some positive reviews! I’m so glad I took the chance. I made a reservation & it was early so I got to choose a table outside. The weather was gorgeous. Our server (young tall blonde) was super courteous, and polite. I was meeting up with an old co worker from my restaurant job and her husband. We are all restaurant people, so we kind of get a little picky when it comes to service & atmosphere. The drinks were SO good. I got the blackberry crush, it was so damn good and refreshing. I got the pineapple sangria which was good, and the Prosecco cut the sweetness perfectly. I do prefer my drinks a little bit sweeter, so in the future I’ll stick with the blackberry crush :) we got a beer flight to end our night which was so fun & yummy. We didn’t feel rushed or overwhelmed by our server, who was really reading us & really good about not stopping by too often or not enough. I will be recommending this place to friends, coworkers, and anyone that I can really! :) I will be back!
