There were 7 of us on a Tuesday night the same night as a large corporate event. We were seated in the back corner and forgotten about a couple of times. The Mac and cheese and calamari were good. The burger was over salted and the cioppino was too spicy to be enjoyable. The roasted pork shoulder was good. One of the people with us didn’t get her food until 10 minutes after the rest of us and there were several times we had to ask for things multiple times. We also didn’t get water refills for the second half of our meal. Overall disappointing, we had plans to come back for a scheduled event in a couple of weeks but will likely go elsewhere instead

Stopped by to grab drinks, they were very accommodating on a Saturday night during the post-Sharks game rush. Drinks are definitely worth coming back for.

Our go-to place when we are going to an event at the SAP arena! My husband and I can split the bbq brisket dinner and feel full but still have energy. Love pairing it with a glass of Opolo but their cocktails are quite good too. Their tomato soup and grilled cheese is great as is the fish and chips.

Fish and chips were good, Service was horrible, and for some reason because we were in wheelchairs they seated us in this private room with a party and kids screaming and crying. We won't be going back. If it weren't for the food it'd been a 1

It's a nice place to have a drink after work, with some decent food. Good place to bring folks.

Very enjoyable dinner experience! My husband was pleasantly surprised by the quantity and quality of the beef brisket. My salmon was cooked just right and it came with plenty of roasted peppers and pureed squash. The biscuit came out warm but very, very stale. The server quickly replaced it with a fresh baked one. Overall, a very nice meal.

This place is a must-visit when I come to events at the arena or the civic auditorium. The place is classy and the food is good, but the top selling point is their ridiculously good selection of beer on tap. They feature several different releases from the top breweries in Northern California...all in one place.

Hmm, mixed bag for me...great if you like a lot of food that is very seasoned..a little too much salt for me. The cocktails are more form than substance...big portion, cheap booze? Not sure, but I got an old fashioned and it was cloudy. Weird. Gave me a cheap bourbon headache. It's in a visible location but wasn't crowded on a Friday night. BBQ ribs were ok, biscuits were flavorful but kind of flat and not fluffy enough for me. The fries were over fried. My son had the hamburger, he said it was good. I can see this would be an acceptable place to go with coworkers and people that like BBQ.

The fried chicken nearly broke my tooth, however, the weight staff was very sweet and polite. Love the people hate the food. Beer was good.
