I’ve been to this restaurant a few times before and usually enjoyed the food. However, recently I happened to walk by and noticed through the glass that the kitchen staff were preparing food without wearing gloves.
It was disappointing to see, especially after having a good experience before. I hope the management pays attention to proper hygiene and food safety standards. Cleanliness in the kitchen is really important for customers’ trust.
The mac & cheese is delish! The bartenders are the best.

The worst experience i’ve ever had in a bar. The drinks were horrible and extremely watered down. It was crowded and hard to breathe, but the real issue lies in the staff. My friends and I were up on the roof top where everyone else was and out of nowhere this man comes and grabs my drink out of my hand as I was drinking it. I had alcohol all over me and was extremely confused. He then started SCREAMING at me, i’m not talking about just raising his voice, he was screaming in my face. He was insisting that I never showed my ID and needed to leave. I did show my ID at the front before I got let in just fyi. As I am trying to explain the situation to him and look in my purse to give him my ID. He starts SHOVING ME, keep in mind I am a 5’1 women, 110 pounds. He then grabs my friend and starts shoving the both of us down the stairs. We left and will never be back. This behavior is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. This place needs to take a real good look at their staff and how they treat people. He’s lucky I didn’t just call the cops, because I was close to. He has to have some real anger issues to be treating people like that. That was not the first time i’ve been to that bar and have had no issues prior. He was definitely having a bad night and ruined mine. Wish I could rate this place a zero.

Sending in a review because it seems my friend’s review was taken down. Such a shame this place has become, if you’re lucky to get a good drink that’s cool! 95% of the time it’s undrinkable. That’s whatever in my opinion. Their service is what’s absolutely diabolical. Talked to a bartender who gave us the green light to go upstairs, there were chairs by a gate and we sat there. We were causing absolutely no trouble, just vibing with our birthday girl. This bartender comes up and begins screaming at us and I don’t mean “hey get out of here.” I mean exercising his vocal cords and screaming like we were 50 feet away. We calmly told him we can go, there must have been a miscommunication because HE TOLD US we can come upstairs and his power trip was definitely not over because he proceeds to stomp over to my friend and rip the drink out of his hand and puts his hands on him. Look. I don’t want to bring race into this… but in this political environment it feels necessary. The only person this bartender targeted was our black friend. The only drink he threw was our black friend and the only person he was putting his hands on was my black friend. He was continuously putting his hands on him as well, while we were calmly exiting and walking down the stairs he was SHOVING him as if we weren’t already moving. This man has STRONG anger issues and should not be working there if he can’t handle the calmest of customers. It got to a point our friend has to tell him, “if you put your hands on me one more time I will defend myself” there shouldn’t have even been a first time!!! STOP DELETING OUR REVIEWS, I am copying this and plan to continue posting it if it gets deleted.

The chicken poppers were over cooked - breading was dark brown. Brought to the bartender's attention - n o t h i n g was said. Hummmmmmm. Not going there again.
It is hard to beat this place when it comes to listening to live music. Some of the bands are really good and you can also get certain alcohol selections at a very reasonable price. The food is typical pub grub. If you go for the live music, try to arrive early enough to get a table or a good place to stand.
Food and service are good, nice TVs.
A Kent classic. The insane bucket drinks are a Kent classic it is a must try in ke t.
Nice little tavern was not too busy when we were there, bartender was super nice would go back. Just went for a drink

Been a few years since I've been back, new food menu is better than what I remember from college years
My favourite place for the most delicious drinks, especially when made by Liv! She nails it every time! And her customer service is top notch
My stomach was acting up and I threw up. I was then kicked out and could not let my friends know. Mind you no one was at the bar, maybe 15 people.

Awesome service from Dan and Meg! Great drink specials. My husband and I chatted with several bartenders and they were all really friendly. We will be back. Thank you!
