Nice bar to chill out for happy hour. Yummy hard shell tacos on Tuesday. Not too expensive. NA Heineken available. I wish they had their own NA beer. Maybe someday...

Food was pretty decent. That’s about all I can say. I went and the server was super rude and didn’t even want to go to the back to get my friend a coke (said “I have to go to the back and I won’t be doing that”). Then a forced 20% tip. Won’t be going back again.

Nice space, good beer, solid food friendly staff, pirate theme. Add in some roll doors to connect indoor and outdoor space, and it's a great spot for beer and a burger.

Kid-friendliness: A place for beer. Is that what your kids want?

Nice taproom and food selection. Horribly rude (overworked?) bartender made for an awkward visit, however.

I really liked this place. I was in the mood for a hamburger, and the boy did I get one. You can have basic burgers, or you can get half pound or full pound burgers made of Wagyu beef. They brew their own beer and their selections are good and tasty. Waitress behind bar was very nice. The guests were also friendly and talkative at bar.

Parking: One of the rare spots with a parking lot, though small.

Omg we loved this place! The food was amazing but the beers were some of the best we've had! The nitro stout was so close to Guinness, which is one of my faves! We are pirate fans and really loved the atmosphere with the pirate map floor. All the food we ordered was so good. We tried fish & chips, wagyu burger, regular burger, pulled pork sandwich and onion rings. I also had the raccoon red ale that was delicious! I'm going to be sad to not get to eat here again lol

All in all had a wonderful lunch today. From staff to food and drink, it was all top notch.That said as a new father, it’s continuously annoying that a family friendly restaurant cannot be bothered to put in baby changing stations.They aren’t costly, the logistics are fine in both bathrooms, but yet there I am on the ground changing a diaper.I mean stadiums have them and it’s not as though the ratio of kids to adults is dramatically different.Please fix this. It’s such a low bar.

Practically an institution at this point. Great beer, not a hazy milkshake IPA in sight, good food, perfect place to hang on a lazy Sunday. 10/10 no notes.
