Everything was nice. We were there while a band performed and I was somewhat disappointed that I could not hear them very well. Food was good and outside seating was a plus.

I’ve been a regular for 3 years here, and have brought lots of other customers on a regular basis. Tonight I couldn’t believe the level of disrespect I received by Joey the owner. I was at the bar talking to someone when another member of their group came and asked me to buy shots for all of them, which I did to be nice. Apparently she was married, and her husband got jealous and angry, and assaulted me: pushing me and swearing. I stood my ground but didn’t retaliate, and then Joey had his bouncers put me in a full Nelson and drag me out of the bar, where he left me waiting for my friends for over an hour. I repeatedly asked to speak with him, and his partner Christine came out, heard the whole story, and seeing that I was calm and obviously not drunk or problematic, said she’d speak to him. He never came out, but instructed the bouncers (who all gave me hugs and said I was being treated badly) not to allow me to come back in, even when the troublemakers left (and apologized to me on the way out for being jealous and overreacting). I will never set foot in this establishment again, and recommend others don’t either.
That 6ft lot lizard was rude 😬

Maybe the best happy hour in Allentown. Stopped by on a Friday with my family and got a ton of appetizers and drinks all for 50% off. The wings were a highlight. Coconut shrimp was good. French onion pierogis sounded better than they tasted.
The fish and chips was tasty and unique in that it was served as the whole fish. It was also breaded lighter than most, which I preferred.
Didn’t get the name of waitress because she didn’t introduce herself properly by name, she barely spoke to us or checked in with us. I had to ask someone else for ranch and I got 2 sticks of celery I asked for more with our chicken wings which were only good thing we got. It was cold inside, and it’s December cold outside both my husband and i thought it was cold. Weird sort of minty, herb flavor on the rib eye steak, cooked properly wish less fat on steak, baked potato not hot almost liked microwaved “steam” broccoli hard. Cod fish bland the “creamy” sauce watered down and seemed like the fish was not drained properly and just thrown on the plate which has excess water cooked fine but no taste used a bunch of salt and pepper and risotto hard not fully done. Flavor so so. Not like bone fish grill risotto not mouth watering tasty delicious food unfortunately. The blond waitress with tattoo on the left side of her neck for sure seemed to be GREAT at her job I observed her charisma with customers her customer service skills and even help with options for the menu and she did great she should train others because our waitress just didn’t make us feel welcomed and we actually saw more of her once we were done eating and she gave check to fast less than 10 min I wanted to stay for more drinks but wasn’t offered dessert and felt rushed out. Also when someone is undecided on what to order and asked for suggestions a server should be able to persuade and convince the customer and help but her answer was it depends how hungry you are when I asked regarding two a chicken pasta dish or a cod and risotto dish that’s not much help. Thanks for your time. Maybe just good for bar food. Wings and burgers etc

Love this place! The owner is so accommodating. We brought a large party bus there and they accommodated us with no issues. The bartenders and waitresses were beyond efficient and sweet. The beers were cold. The drinks were quick and the food was great. Loved this place.
Good!!!

Ordered a $34 steak and it came with a hair in the sour cream!! I tried to be respectful and went to my waitress, thinking a manager would come address it but they acted like it never happened. No apology or anything! I wanted to try a local place, bad idea!!
