First off, the crazy disco sparkles 60s. The service is super efficient and fast. The food, at lesst the chili, is #1. Tasty, hot and better than most local restaurants.

Stopped by here after work with some of my colleagues. Continental was fine. Easy walk from the office. Very spacious so we had room to sit down. The bathrooms were very clean. A good spot to quickly pop in and grab a drink. The bartender seemed annoyed when we ordered with her but we still got the food and drinks we ordered so that's all that matters. I got an order of the chicken tenders and fries. The fries could have been slightly crispier. The chicken tenders were really thin. I typically like them thicker and meatier for the breading to chicken ratio, but it was fine and I still ate it all. I didn't love the dipping sauces. The honey mustard was too tangy and didn't balance with the sweet.

Went with a group of about 8, there were maybe 20 people there sitting outside total as it was very hot. From the start the woman behind the counter was very unfriendly and curt. We chose to sit inside at the few tables because it was really hot, and basically everyone else there left so it was just us. Then a huge storm started (with a severe thunderstorm warning in place) which caused damage to the outside tables and overhangs. Since we were already inside we stayed there to wait the storm out, and continued to buy drinks. Some water was leaking in through the door, but otherwise there didn’t seem to be any damage to the indoor area where we were sitting. We were about 8 patrons just sitting around drinking and talking, I don’t think we were being loud or rude. Then abruptly the woman told us that we had to leave within 5 minutes because they were closing due to the unsafe weather causing damage to the property outside. She said their pool Hall around the corner was open and we could go there if we wanted. We clarified that she recognized the severe weather and still expected us to leave and go outside in the dangerous weather. She said one of our friends (already en route when the storm started) arrived during the storm and “she was safe so you will be too”. Truly a bizarre experience. Kicking patrons out during a severe weather warning seems wildly inappropriate and a much higher liability than us sitting there and waiting 15 more minutes for the worst of the storm to clear. 0/10 would not recommend to others

We had a fun time playing bachi ball and hanging out on the patio. They have a lot out outdoor seating but there are no umbrellas and only a couple tables inside so don't come if it's raining. There's a pretty good selection of beer and a few slushi style drinks too. The service is great but keep in mind they automatically add 20% to your tab.

Place is a joke. Service is the worst. Located next to a construction site. Dirty. Walked out after waiting forever.

Great selection of beers and the food is good quality too. I just can’t justify a mandatory 22% gratuity for counter service. It is not justifiable for the same level of service as a fast food restaurant. Please just raise the prices and pay staff better. One pint of beer and a sausage sandwich was over $27 after mandatory tax and tip.

Really poor food. Entire area was taken over by pool tournament players. Don't want to go back

22% mandatory tip for a drink pour? Just raise the prices.

Staff is always friendly and the beer line is quick. Super fun venue and the food is good too!

A nice pool hall with plenty of space! I stopped in one a Sunday evening and there were just a few people there, so not what you would typically expect but it was what we were looking for. There was security when you first walk in, and then you can stop by the bar to order and food/drinks and get set up to play. The bartender got us everything quickly and we were ready to go! Again we enjoyed ourselves and appreciated the chill Sunday evening vibes with great music.

Absolute ripoff. $8-10 beer for a concrete ground with a bunch of picnic benches. Vibe is mid-af. Their whole model is "let's rig this place that costs us nothing but we can charge the same price as the thotty breweries and tap rooms". There are also two small single bathrooms that end up with 15 minute lines. There is no covered seating. There is no indoor area.

Favorite place. The prices are very good both during and outside happy hour. Staff are great. They are polite and have good memory. I recommend the chicken tenders basket. Its a generous serving at a good price.

Sticky floor, loud, trashy place. This place is great if you are still living in 1990s.

This is a really cool place with a nice urban vibe. It's quite basic, but that's part of the appeal. The heat lamps are much appreciated and the draft selection is awesome! They also have several non-alcoholic beers!
