Beautiful place, but service was terrible. Not the girls fault, they were working as hard and fast as they could. It is the managers fault for not having enough help on a busy night like it was last Friday.
I had to 15 min to order a beer and 1-1/2 to ge my food

Very enjoyable spot. Fish and chips and French Dip were both very good for tavern fare. The outside seating runs from intimate to communal and features outdoor games, a large projection screen, and fire pits. Service is very good. Parking can be a challenge. Highly recommend.

my boyfriend recently moved to the Hopatcong area and we have been searching for a bar for people our age (early 20’s). this place was great, we absolutely loved it! our food was SO good and the staff all went above and beyond for a busy friday night. they had great live music outside and we enjoyed some cornhole. overall, we had such a great time and we will definitely be returning throughout this summer!
