Classic old school bar vibes. Location is awesome! Went for trivia night (Tuesday) and that was loads of fun! The Mac & Cheese I had was amazing, and the Shepherds pie had great flavor! Place was packed and service was a little slow at the bar, but not bad considering. If you go on Tuesday evenings, be sure to make a reservation, especially if you have a larger party.
Okay so I’m giving it four stars because most of what I ate was good. My gripe is don’t order the food through a delivery app. It doesn’t travel well. By the time I got it the steam from the to-go package made everything soggy. We also got theses loaded chips with crab, I don’t recommend getting them delivered. Definitely need to order it and eat it at the table. Will eat here again, dine-in next time. I do recommend to them to upgrade your to-go boxes so the steam vents and the food can travel better, oh and when you have a delivery order give more beer cheese!!!!!
This is a phenomenal place! Wonderful atmosphere, beautiful structure, lots of room, and an excellent menu. Went here for a drag brunch too and it was the most amazing experience. Keep this up! It's what the world needs right now.
