Booked our command Christmas party here. We had the back room with our own personal bartender. The food was amazing, the drinks were on point and the room was perfect for us. Our bartender went above and beyond and took everything in stride when we switched things up on her the last minute. Dave communicated with us every step of the way and made sure we had everything we needed. He let us view the space before we made the final decision and even let us come in early before they opened to let set up the day of the party. Will definitely be back.

We had our command holiday party here and it was a huge hit! Dave was very helpful and was willing to go above and beyond to make our party amazing! We had the back room which seemed to fit our party size perfectly! He allowed us to come in early before opening to set up and make the space ours which we really appreciated not only that they provided clean up afterwards! Definitely recommend this place any group type functions!

Not good, don’t book the private room here. Had a work holiday party here. Apparently, it was too much of an inconvenience for the manager to purchase second bottles of the liquors that were needed for the three speciality drinks on the dedicated menu, so he forced his bartender to run back and forth, back and forth, back and forth ALL NIGHT from our dedicated bar to the full, front of house bar to make these drinks. People were standing at the empty bar, awakening waiting ten minutes for one drink.

The roof in the private room is leaking, and we had to natively around towels, buckets, and CAUTION WET FLOOR signs all night.

The food was eh…nothing special.

Bottom line - there are PLENTY of better-run establishments in the area. Avoid this one.

Great atmosphere. If you like your bars and restaurants a bit more low key, this is your place. And if you like Fish and Chips, this is some of the best I've ever had, and I lived in England for four years!

The Cajun Alfredo was very good, not overly spicy, but flavorful. There are pool tables in a beach bar and outdoor seating as well.

I don't know why this place isn't always full. It's wow nice inside and somehow always has open seats. It feels like a real bar. A classy bar even. Pool tables on the back. This is a place to spend a nice evening with friends hanging out. Slightly off the beaten path on Colley Ave, but near everything.

Randomly came here for trivia night, pleasantly surprised by our experience. We didn’t know anything about this place but decided to try it out. We ordered a few things off happy hour menu and they came out better and more than we expected! Would definitely come back again!
