I've stopped there twice from Toronto to Boston. Before the renovation were complete. Great selection of beer at exceptionally reasonable prices. I can.t wait to stop again and check out the new pub/ Lounge. Great history on the

Go here for a specialty martini during happy hour, and stay to enjoy the atmosphere and food until close!

Their transition into the speakeasy look is a win across the board

Came from out of town with a friend for a night out and had a great time. DJ (I think his name was Oh Kane) was freaking awesome, I was surprised at how good he was. Great mix of all genres like reggaeton, house, edm, rap, etc!!!!

Drinks were good, as usual. The atmosphere was good. It wasn't that many people in there at the time. I just don't like moving to the other side when it's slow. Security was a great help.

Nice place to sit, talk and have drinks since the remodel. Cozy, warm atmosphere with a not too intrusive wait staff. Relaxed, casual and fun. Drinks are reasonably priced as well as reasonably boozy and the pretzels are amazing.

We stopped here for drinks a few years ago and it was the typical upstate bar-loud, little aesthetic and muffled theme. We stopped for a drink before dinner and it was a pleasant surprise. I’m big on aesthetic and service to detail. Comfortable seating, knowledgeable bartenders, proper glasses etc are important to me-they did not disappoint. They apparently remodeled a few months ago and there was intimate seating, reasonable noise level and bartenders that delivers on making good cocktails in the “proper” glass. If your over 60 and are looking to take the quests out for a drink where you can have an actual conversation this place may deliver. As an addendum, we see there at 5:30-6:40. The dynamics may change at later hours based on the demographic- time will tell. Well done on the remodel and I wish you success, we will be back if it remains an “adult” bar.

Everyone is underage and no good drinks. Don’t waste a good night

Started coming here for wings, while in college , in the early 90’s and I still come back every chance I get. Best wings I’ve ever had and the owners are great!
