Not many beer or alcohol choices. Out of alot of beer. Tap beer not even cold. Boneless wings were disgusting. Were here once before. Seems to have gone downhill. .

Good burgers. Service was a bit slow, since there was only one server.

Great place to hang out and watch some football. The food was pretty good but the atmosphere was better. They played really good music and the waitress was great. We ordered nachos, a chicken sandwich, and the chipotle chicken quesadilla. The batter to the chicken sandwich was a bit heavy and greasy and so were the quesadillas. But regardless they still hit the spot

What kind of bar doesn't have wine? For over a month they have had no wine. Excuses like the boss didn't order, or it's back ordered. Now I call before I go.

Good food nice atmosphere good place to go have some comfort food, and kick back love the country music.
8.28.2025: I went in the bartender informed me that the place is under new ownership. Informed me they were out of quite a few items I ordered the Philly cheese steak.
Taste was good but noticed a reduction in the sandwich portion. Hopefully this is a one time thing I really do like this place and would hate to see changes like that.

Deeply disturbing experience—beware.

I visited this restaurant one Sunday evening with my 11-year-old daughter and encountered one of the most alarming and unprofessional incidents I’ve ever experienced in New York City. The server displayed hostility from the start, but the situation escalated into outright aggression. After I calmly raised concerns about my meal, he became confrontational, photographed my plate without consent, and loudly insisted I pay—despite me never refusing to do so.

He then threw the credit card reader in my direction, nearly hitting me, and physically blocked us from leaving the restaurant even after payment was made (receipt timestamped). My daughter and I were physically obstructed from exiting, even pushing us back with his body, and he falsely claimed we hadn’t paid and that he called the police on us—refusing to even glance at the digital receipt I showed him. This escalated to the point where I feared for our safety as we had to push past him to escape.

We found a police car parked a block away and reported the incident, but the officers treated us dismissively and appeared sympathetic to the server rather than to the mother and child. Despite explaining clearly that we had been unlawfully detained, the response was apathetic at best, and in parts condescending. One officer even mischaracterized my attempt to leave as an act of aggression.

This experience was not just about poor food and service—it involved intimidation, and a disturbing lack of accountability from both the restaurant and responding officers. No parent should have to shield their child from that kind of treatment, and no child should be ignored by law enforcement after such an event.

Absolutely unacceptable. I will never return, and I strongly advise others to think twice before dining here.

Cool local pub vibe. Well cocktails around $14 and beers at $8. Good place to hangout in the area with happy hour and triava on Wednesday. I had the Cheesesteak and enjoyed it.

This is a simple and cozy pub. It was pretty quiet when we arrived on Thursday afternoon. They have a generous happy hour deal on draft beers - $3 off. The IPA I had was delicious. The nachos were very good. It seemed that the staff was familiar with a lot of the patrons. The food looked and smelled very appetizing. They have a lot of TV's around. I would definitely come back here.
