I've come here multiple times with a friend of mine who is in a wheelchair and we've never had an issue getting into this establishment prior to the new ownership. Tonight my friend was denied access to the establishment due to them denying him the ability to use the only wheelchair accessible entrance. They cited the reasoning as an event going on in the hall portion of the building. In the past we've hurried through any events that may have been taking place and never disturbed or bothered anyone. This place used to be a great venue to hang out at but this is the end of our ties to this place. Highly disappointing, hurtful, and offensive. If you're disabled or need any form of accommodation don't expect this place to help you out.

I've decided this is my go to bar to bring everyone when we meet up from family, friends, coworkers, day drinking etc. I like the theme nights, bingo, trivia, bands, etc. I want business to go well from them so they open with kitchen & its profitable all week. Foods amazing...good "no mess behaved" atmosphere. My go to place. Bartenders and everyone are nice.

A must go experience. People are warm, friendly and welcoming and the history of the location and architecture is very intriguing. I will definitely be looking forward to inviting everyone!
Went to a benefit there. The place was very clean. People were really nice.

They overcharged me and messed up our billing with a group of 3. I asked to switch to cash to waitress which usually isn't a problem in restaurants. So I payed my bill with cash but she charged my friend's bill on my credit card. My friend's bill was $58.31 and I noticed now I was charged on my debit card $66.31. Will never come here again and I would like my $8 (the difference between $66.31 and $58.31) refunded to me.

We worked with Jonathan and the staff and they were all lovely. The ease of menu planning was so helpful. The staff were attentive and professional—from the waitstaff, bussers and bartenders. Jonathan was so easy to work with and wanted nothing more than to make our party enjoyable.The food was excellent—everyone complimented us on our food options. The dessert ice cream bar was a hit.We will be sure to book future party events here (we previously had parties when it was the Russian Hall).

The Ties, aka the old Russian Hall, is a comfortable pub with decent food. Some of their food is above average, especially for a pub. A few nights a week they have musical Entertainment plus trivia night. Great service and wait staff and generous cocktails.

My first time, it looks like a pretty good place. Excellent appetizers and pretty good menu selections. I had a beef cheesesteak, and it was great, not your fast food kind.

Did not like most of the food. But that had nothing to do with the cooks it was the menu that was picked out. The things that I did like were very good. Service was slow but they were all new servers from what I heard. They did not know how to bring out the food family style. They started with one Dish, brought out vegetables which were not cooked all the way through, Then brought out potatoes, then fish..., everything was one dish at a time you had to eat the 1 before the next 1 came. We had to ask after 3 dishes to please take the dirty ones away. They were piling up on the table. All the servers were very polite and were working very hard but we're not trained properly. It seemed like there was no one in command to tell them what to do and how to do it. When we told our server before you bring the next plate take 1 away, she goes, oh OK thank you, and that's what she started to do. Then the other servers started to follow her lead. I think they were left on their own but they did the best they could.Parking: There was not ample parking for the event. People had to park a block or more away and walk.
