Outstanding craft burgers and fries. No frozen burger patties just fresh and delicious. Ask about the special. Love this place.

Honestly, I’ve never written a review to be negative, but pretty agitated atm. Visiting my sister in the Richmond, flew in from Amsterdam where I live. Went out in the rain to get groceries for a home cooked meal, chose to cycle and it was pourinh with rain. Thought i’d pop in for a quick pint before heading home. Once I ordered my drink, she asked for ID. I’m 31, have a moustache and am losing my hair. Its clear I’m not under age. She insisted and I had to leave.

The thing is - she probably had “ground” to stand on - but honestly I felt embarrassed, unwelcome and ill treated.

Honestly, it’s a solid bar - I just had a bad/unreasonable experience. ✌🏼

Their drinks are creative and pair well with meals.

Alternative name for this place: Grumpy Dudes Amazing Breakfast . The waiter (owner?) was super grumpy (maybe he had a bad day) to the point of it being comical. But the eggs and potatoes were truly amazing in a home cooked style. We would go back for sure and hope that the guy is still as grumpy. :-)

This spot on Cleveland Street has been a watering hole for quite a few decades now ..all of them have filled a need...this one is no exception... Every neighborhood needs an establishment like this. Recommended.

I really like this place for what it is. Low key. Good food. Good service. Decent draft selection. And a really friendly crowd. All good things.
We will be back again soon

Nostalgic trip to what the fan used to be with simple bar food. Place also has some crazy history. Many locals, grab a seat outside if it's nice weather

Older gentlemen instantly bit my head off when I walked into the establishment, no welcome, no greeting, no hi how are you, nothing. Girl at the bar apologized on his behalf after and I sat and had a meal, the food was all right no complaints was happy with what I got. The space looked pretty cool but the staff were a huge turn off. Probably wont go there again tbh.
