I want to enjoy this place so badly, but they have made it impossible. I have given them more chances than most because I like the atmosphere, the beer selection, and the food (when they have it). The kitchen has proven itself inept at having the food they claim on its menu. Four straight times now they haven't had one of their two vegan options. And tonight it was none. And that, sadly, was the last straw.

I love the concept of serve yourself but unfortunately the selection they had when I went wasn't great. I'll definitely go back and give it a try again but I was very underwhelmed with the beer I had and I tried quite a few (like ten ?). The fried cauliflower appetizer was amazing, the ginger sauce that came with it was so good that I asked for more of it. I got mushroom tacos as my entree which were kind of bland but thanks to the amazing ginger sauce I had left over they were actually pretty good. I was disappointed at first because the menu I had looked at online wasn't the current menu but I really liked that there were several vegan options, it was a tough decision and I plan on returning to hopefully try the Nashville Hot "Chicken" Sandwich that I decided not to get last time.
Their vegan options aren't just add-ons that are trying to appease a vegan friend that tags along for dinner. They are delicious and well thought out. We were pleasantly surprised!

First off, this is my favorite bar so right away I’m going to recommend this place! The music is always great (especially when the DJ is there) and they have free arcade games on the top floor. It’s a vibe! Plus - the staff is phenomenal. Now, the food. It’s great. I always get the Thai Peanut Tacos which are delicious, and the side of rice is always yummy ? I recently ventured off and ordered the vegan Tofu Parm which was also reaaaaally good, - I would personally order extra sauce next time because I LOVE a lot of sauce. I’m hoping to see a vegan option besides fries on their late night menu - vegan cheese sticks, cauli bites? ❤️ Edit 07.03.2022: They do a revolving menu, and they did add vegan options to their apps. menu! Their brunch menu has tofu-inspired options, and their current menu has an AMAZING chik’n sammy that I’m including a picture of. Definitely a spot to check out!

Such a cool vibe. They have a couple of options. I fell in love with the vibe. They had cool music when we went to be fair. I'm pretty sure they had cauliflower wings.
The Thai peanut tofu tacos were excellent…there are only three vegan options right now, but their menu is somewhat small so that isn't too surprising. Drinks and service were great
