“If you get the opportunity to be served by Logan and Jade downstairs, do not miss it under any circumstance. I haven’t been to downtown in a long time (I’m a country hick), and these two treated my group like we were the only people in the restaurant. As far as those two were concerned, we were royalty. While they were “just doing their jobs,” they were amazing. If the rest of the staff is half as good as these two, do not hesitate to stop in. We could not have dreamed of better service. I just hope we tipped enough for how they treated us.“

Often times they have live music and/or food trucks on site, the dogs are beyond well taken care of here, and the staff also is so, so kind to guests. It feels like your personal ‘Cheers’ where everyone knows your name environ, it’s a must see!“

Wild Bull Bar • $$

“FANTASTIC music selection...but NO CASH accepted!? Heads up you'll need a debit or credit card since they won't take cash!? I prefer cash on a night out because I don't risk losing my credit or debit card... However they DO NOT take cash, so be aware... Otherwise it's a great place!

Bartenders were amazing! Drinks were actually pretty reasonably priced!
Staff is always watching, it's nice to know they have a lot of eyes scanning the crowd. Other than a few toilets clogged, the ladies restroom is really nice with plenty of stalls. They seem to keep things reasonably clean!“

“We celebrated our daughter's wedding with a family dinner (The Hopkins Wedding, a party of 14) in the loft area The service was outstanding! The food was amazing! I've never been to a dinner where everyone was saying, "You've got to try this!' and everyone was tasting each other's dishes. They were fine with us bringing a wedding cake and even found a box big enough to hold the leftover cake. Speaking of leftovers, most of us required take home containers because of the generous portions.We weren't about to leave food that tasty behind!“
