“Had appetizers and drinks in the evening by the pool. The fruity rum based Jungle drink was superb.

Came back for breakfast after a sunrise workout and it wasn’t busy upon opening at 6:30. Ate the breakfast egg/bacon sandwich on brioche with cheese, tomatoes, and an aioli sauce. Espresso drinks were great. Topped off breakfast with a Strawberry Banana protein smoothie.“

“PJ and Dalton are the friendliest, nerdiest (in the best way), chillest guys. Their creations are IMPRESSIVE, and I don’t say that lightly. Jam Session is sold out every other time I’m here, which is understandable as it’s the most delicious beer I’ve ever had (sweet though so heads up if you’re not into that, although you’re missing out).

Today, I had the Butter Beer. Yes, Butter Beer. It tastes like beer with butterscotch, and it’s exactly what I imagine the stuff at Hogwarts tastes like. Dalton recommended it with salt, and I gave him a look but tried it both ways - turns out he was correct. Do try it with salt.

Speaking of salt, don’t sleep on the food either. Their mac and cheese is delicious, and I haven’t tried other stuff but the chicken looks crispy and yum, too.

The open air design makes it hot at first, but after the sun down and the moonrise, the breeze comes through - and that’s what a balmy summer night’s about, right? Chill company and a cold beer in friendly neighborhood vibes?

Two free parking lots plus street parking.“

“I visited this spot and had an amazing experience from start to finish! They have a great selection of vegetarian and vegan options too, making it super easy for everyone to find something.For our appetizer, we ordered the hummus with bread. The bread was the absolute highlight—it felt like a perfect, unique hybrid of fluffy naan and soft pita. It was incredibly soft and so, so good!For the main course, I went with the chicken burger and fries. The burger was delicious, and the fries were perfectly crispy, just the way I like them.If you enjoy a drink, they serve their beer in the cutest cowboy boot glasses. The absolute best part? You actually get to take the glass home with you! I highly recommend checking this place out for great food, inclusive menu options, and a fun souvenir.“

“So my buddy and I wanted to find a place where everyone wasn’t just barely 21. This place is super chill: sports on the TV, fun bartenders, other people… This is a great neighborhood place where there were families with their toddlers and other families who brought their young teens. There were also, maybe, four people over 55 (whoops! that includes me). And there was not just age diversity. It was super comfortable.

The food was not gourmet, but it was good. I will come here again.

By the way, my bartender didn’t know of any drink special when the train went by, but if enough of us ask, I’m sure we can get some. 🙂 Train! Train! Train!“

“I had made reservations for after our show several days prior. When we arrived, which we were about 20 minutes early, we were told by the hostess that there was another reservation after us and we only had the table until 6:50. Ok, don't plan on being here for almost two hours. Then we were taken to a table tucked away in the back by the bathroom. It kinda made us feel like our reservation wasn't important or we mattered. Our waiter was nice, but not very attentive to us. He took our orders, brought our food, then only came back when we were done eating to ask how it was and if we wanted dessert. Food was delicious and we really enjoyed it, just felt like we were an inconvenience and we weren't valued as customers.“
