This is my all-time favourite for a quick drink with a friend and some bar food. A very lively and people friendly environment staff was great amazing cocktails for all cocktail lovers.

Great happy hour deals on food and drinks, with a friendly bartender and a solid beer selection. The food is decent for bar fare, making it a reliable choice for a local hangout.
First time patrons visiting on a busy Sunday night. Our server was clearly struggling to keep up and she did a very good job. Drinks came promptly, unfortunately her kitchen did not as we waited 30 minutes for our chicken wings, which were quite good. Surprisingly our dinners came very quickly and for the most part were good except for the fish n chips. The fish was soggy indicating too much time under the heat lamp or not fried long enough, decent cheeseburger, very good tacos and vegetarian scallops. Thanks for the experience.

Went with my girlfriend and we shared our meals and spent about $90 total. The drinks were awful. It was their monthly beverage which sounded amazing but was so bad we didn't drink it. It did not taste like any of the other flavors except the bourbon. The salad and loaded fries were amazing. We had the blackened salmon sandwich was cooked perfectly but lacked seasoning and needed more of the sauce. We will definitely go back cause the menu looked amazing.

Stopped here for lunch. Beautiful day so chose to sit outside. We ordered some sweet potato fries for an appetizer and 2 salads. Appetizer took 30 minutes! I know they were busy but that was a bit insane. The fries were good. Salad was meh. Took almost and hours and half for lunch. It was overpriced for what it was. Better options are available.

I came here with my boyfriend on a Thursday evening. We love trying new places & We were really excited to come here and see what they are all about. No wait, was not busy when we got here.. we got sat right away and the hostess brought over water for us. Our server, Jenna, came over 10 minutes later for our drink order and we out apps in. A soup and wings. My boyfriend ordered a soda and I got a cocktail. The soda took 12 minutes and the cocktail took 25. When asked if we were ready for entrees we simply had to remind her we didn’t get our apps. She didn’t even remember what we got. I’m writing this as we eat our apps 40 minutes later. Coming from the food service industry and I am extremely disappointed. They seem to be understaffed, Horrible management, poor service, does not seem to have any urgency.

I’m all the choices we could’ve made in Princeton. We were sad that we made this one. The food was average of best even the drinks weren’t that great. We chose it because the website said they had pretzel bites. That’s what the young one wanted, but they didn’t have them.

The food here is truly disgusting (fatty, tasteless, unhealthy) and I saw multiple cockroaches while eating here. The owner was also terribly rude and I would never support their business again.

I am sitting here waiting to be asked if I want another beer. I’m not sure it will happen.
I could have ordered more food but the indifference to my presence had me finding the exit.
Worse yet, hearing another patron use the word “f ggot” and the bartender not issuing a warning to them left me feeling like this is not the place for me.
