The bartender was very friendly and fast on his feet. I had a local beer from Right Brain and the pickle juice brined chicken tenders. They were really tasty!! The sauces that came with them were really good, too.

Kind of a dive place but SUUUUPER fun and GREAT food. Our server Julie was hopping all over the place and kept us informed of when our order would be ready (they were really busy).My husband had the Bo Rito and LOVED it, I had the Thai salad with chicken and it was delicious! The chicken was cooked PERFECTLY. Not at all dry! The salad dressing was amazing. Seriously, I could eat this everyday. I had my first whiskey sour here and it was wonderful. Just wish they had a hot buttered rum. No one makes them anymore!It's quite the local hangout and Julie seemed to know everybody. There is a pool table, a bar you can sit at and restaurant seating for (I'm guessing) 50ish people.On Saturday mornings they play classic cartoons and breakfast is served all day everyday.I can't wait to go back. I only hope Julie is there when I do!

Loud. We had to yell to communicate. The food was mediocre at best.It is expensive for the poor quality. Will not be back.

This bar is an amazing spot it's just so saddening to hear they employ a known pedophile recently. If you're the owner of this bar I hope you consider firing Justin P, otherwise I will not be allowing myself to spend my money there.

We happen to see an article in the paper about lil bos. We were in from out of town and try to eat as many great places as we can find. We saw they had brunch Saturday with cartoons. Husband had the Raphael and I had chicken and waffles. One of the best chicken and waffles I've had ?Parking: Handicap available in back.

Great bar and pub!Atmospheres and esthetic are cozy and welcoming. Definitely got that Cheers vibe. Lots of locals who come regularly and are known by staff and others.Food is incredible. I enjoyed the southwest salad with chicken and there is a lot of it. Husband was impressed by the chicken tenders and said they are probably the best he’s ever had.Great stop!
