Potato soup was outstanding. The short rib melt was tasty and the pizza rolls appetizer was really good.

This spot perfectly blends dive bar vibes with a modern country house feel, creating a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that somehow makes great use of a smaller space. It never feels cramped—just comfortable and intentional.
The prices were fair, especially considering how bold and well-executed the flavors were. The real standout was the garlic Sriracha wings—an easy 10/10. I’m serious about my wings needing a solid crunch, and these absolutely delivered. Crispy, saucy, and packed with flavor without being soggy at all.
They also offer tons of drink options, making it a great place to hang out whether you’re grabbing food or just stopping in for a few rounds. If you’re into big flavors, great wings, and a laid-back but stylish atmosphere, this place is definitely worth checking out.

A little small so plan ahead for a Friday night. They do a great job utilizing the space they have. Good service and warm atmosphere.

I reviewed this place last year and the same result…if you eat there it’s great due to the staff and service. But if you grab anything to go it’s completely different. Tonight we had a few beers and ordered food to go…the bartenders were again, great. When we got home the 16” pizza was wrong and so was the desert. total waste of $75. We will never order food to go here again. that’s twice in a row. The buffalo pizza had no sauce and the carrot cake was cheese cake. booo

Love love love love their fish fries. Service is excellent. The bartenders are great and if you see a bad review, just ignore it cause it’s not true.

Food is great, I just wish they had more items from the Hale House menu like the Mac n cheese and harvest salad. A little crowded with table space but overall great place.

The chicken wings were excellent. Pretzel was huge. Bang Bang Shrimp were over cooked and served in a weird puddle of (water?) liquid that soaked the sauce off.

Really have enjoyed my visits here. The wings were fine, and I had their quesadilla, which was an interesting take on the dish. I've also been told their pizza is pretty good as well.

Everytime I've been, I sat at the bar and had a good conversation with a stranger. Quality 3rd spaces like this that create a welcoming atmosphere are rare, and the local is a gem in that regard.
