We visit about once a month and usually everything is fine. Yesterday, not so much. The food was okay and the service was good but the two guys at the bar apparently have been drinking for hours. They were so loud and the language increasingly offensive that we decided not to get dessert and left early. And this was at 5:30 p.m. Yikes. Not sure if we'll be going back anytime soon

I love this place. If I lived a little closer it would be dangerous. The food is always good and the service couldn't be better. Pull up a seat at the bar and let Danny take care of you.

This is my favorite pre-theater hole -in-the-wall. Nothing fancy, just a nice, inexpensive neighborhood joint. If your hearty, you can even park on the street for free (or next to nothing), and walk the free blocks to the theatre district.But shhhh! Don't tell everyone! ?

They refused my service dog. Yes, I had a different harness, I explained why. The restaurant was completely empty. I asked if we could have a very quick drink and the waitress asked me for service dog papers which is completely illegal!!!

Definitely not what I expected. Eli’s popped up when I searched pub food so we walked 1.5 miles to it. I’d been on a week long trip from Colorado to Florida to Minnesota. The weekly special entree at Eli’s was, hands down, the best meal I’d had all week. It was cheap relative to most other places in the city and it was so good.
