Service was just great, the food and beer excellent. They also have other well made alcoholic beverages.
Vegetarian options: The vegetarian offerings are varied and very well prepared and presented. Not just Indian centric. The food was tremendous.

This is a good place for drinks, wings, and burgers. They are so good! The inside and outside of the bar are both nice. The inside is very dim, love that! One thing I wish they would change is the chairs at their low tables are quite literally the most uncomfortable chair we’ve ever sat in. The way the metal back is designed, you can’t have a body wider than like 8 inches without being forced to sit up on the front edge of the chair.

Drinks were bad. Sever could not get our order right somehow gave us two apps when we wanted one and it was brought out at the END of the meal. He couldn’t tell us about the drink menu. I couldn’t even eat my entree or my drink. WASTE of money

Came here recently and ordered the pub nachos with cheese. When I received my order, there were jalepeño peppers on it. I can't, and don't eat spicy food. Nowhere on the menu did it mention jalapeños on the nachos. When i mentioned it to the server, she just looked at me and walked away. I had to wait another like 10 minutes before I could get the attention of someone. I ordered it with pork on top, and the wrong order had a pretty good amount of pork on it. The picture is what I got back. I had taken one bite out of this. It barely had pork. I also ordered the monk rolls, and they didn't seem to have the beer cheese as described in the menu. The food was good, just disappointed in the lack of meat the 2nd round and that the "toppings" didn't quite match the menu. I also had fries with the garlic aioli sauce, and they were good. The sauce was delicious!

The beer is absolutely disgusting but the food is great l. Come for the food but don't bother with the beer.
Nice little pub with wide selection of IPAs. No N/A beer available at the time but sodas will do. Food was tasty and unique. Friendly staff and servers.

For someone with Celiac like me, this food was excellent for being Gluten Free. My wife loved her beers. Poor bartender was running around doing too much (get him some help). The music was a bit loud and a bit vulgar for my likings. The front was open and families were walking by. It’s not a nightclub, you can turn it down and pick a better selection
Dietary restrictions: Great place for those who need Gluten Free options
Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly. Music was very vulgar rap music

Husband and I went for dinner. He ordered the full nachos appetizer, which was definitely more than expected. I ordered the fish and chips. I actually didn't eat the fish because I was too full to eat after the nachos. My husband ordered the pulled pork sandwich which came with slaw on it also. I ordered the brezel bier which was made with pretzel shells. My husband ordered the hazy IPA. We sat upstairs at the small bar. Our server was nice. The menu is much different than when we went a few years ago. The menu is more IndianInspired since the last time we were there.

Service was horrible, he was very disrespectful. Food was bland and had no flavor.
