Chicken Philly hoagie was fantastic and bartender was great! The only thing I would change is the temperature as it was cold inside.

They serve two beers they brew. It’s a college bar, meh. Food is sub-par, good for collegiates only. The bartender couldn’t remember what I asked for literally 10 seconds after me ordering it. She screwed up my food order and when I ordered another non-brewed-by-them-beer, the same I had, she couldn’t remember. More interested in the guy at the bar. Don’t go here.

Sounds like a joint to stay away from.....far, far away!!!

The staff is rude. They think they are above the law and do what they please. Not a good college bar with respect to prices, atmosphere, and staff etiquette. Recommend if you are a fan of establishments that are bottom-tier.

I did not patron this place. I was an under 21 pedestrian walking down the street being harassed and the security guard stood by my side until I got an Uber home. I have no idea what the inside is like. I just know I’m grateful for the thoughtful staff.

Staff is always amazing when I go in there. I usually get wings, and they're always cooked to perfection!

Decent sports bar with pub fare and a couple housemade brews like the pilsner and the citrusy Pom Pom on tap. Burgers, sweet potato fries, fried pickle nickels, and Chix tenders all very tasty. Some served with "crate sauce," a light orange dip/spread with a slight kick and a nice complement to your food. Order food at the bar and they text you when it's ready to pick up at the end of the bar. Under 21 can eat in there until evening sets in. The place is a bit stark warehouse meets varsity locker room chic but it does the job, at a fair price.

The place to have a drink before the Orange football games. Noisy and sporty. I like that they gave free Wild Turkey on the sidewalk in front of the bar.

Crazy loud party bar unlike any of the other hundreds of craft breweries I've been to. First and foremost, check your bill and use cash or else expect to be double charged on your credit card. We thought it was an honest mistake but after reading other reviews, it appears to be a common practice. We stopped in after the SU game in hopes of watching other college football games. They did have a few of the games up on the TV's but crazy loud party music blaring and the noise of the college crowd dancing made it difficult to actually follow any game. The bartenders didn't really know their own brews among the many other brands they also sell and we got 2 different answers about what they were selling of their own brews. It was elbow to elbow in the bar room and a fight to even get up to the bar to try and order drinks. The couple brews we had were decent but hard to enjoy in this environment. Perhaps it's very different on non-game days. We ended up leaving early and going back to our hotel bar to watch the rest of the games we were interested in following.

Bought the Philly cheese steak sandwich. They put some kind of steak sauce in it. Not a good sandwich. Couldn't even taste the steak. Don't waste your money on this; without telling them to leave the steak sauce off. That would really improve the taste. Ate the chicken wings. They were good.
