Went there with a group. It was busy in bar with limited seating so plan ahead. Everyone had a good time and was happy with their food. My doob wings were fantastic as well as the burger. Maddy our server was witty and dealt with our nonsense like a true pro. Definitely coming back.

Burger was raw, the panini bread was not grilled and far too much pesto, we requested no veg on burger and there was raw onion

Went in on a whim because I saw their sign and it was off the beaten path. I couldn't have found a nicer local bar to hang out in. Even though I knew no one when I got there, I felt like I left with friends. There was Tessa and her boyfriend Connor who was bartending and couldn't have been nicer! Mark sat to my right (who is the owners husband) as well as Andy then later on Brian and Tony came in, I went in for a drink and stayed for five maybe more! I had a great time just going in blind. It's not too close to where I live but I'm definitely going back not just to see my new friends but to try some of their food which I heard was delicious! If you're looking for something different this little gem is the place to go!

It's a quaint/small space, but the food is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. The portion sizes for appetizers are big and enough where you don't even need an entree. The crispy ribs and chicken tenders were A-Grade, and fresh off the grill. Staff were friendly and it was a great spot for a Saturday afternoon. 10/10!

It was nice, there are three different areas you can sit, either outdoors at picnic tables to see live music, a much appreciated quieter dining room, and the more lively bar section. Our food came out quickly and multiple servers all checked on us often to make sure we were happy and had everything we wanted. I ordered 24 wings total and enjoyed the Doob wings, Buffalo, and Garlic Parmeasan wings and was happy.

I came in during Happy Hour I asked the bartender for drink specials she directed me to a menu with themed cocktails however my drink didn't look anything like the picture it was watered down and tasteless ... I was highly disappointed, I went to the bathroom to come back to my table and a check ticket was thrown on the table she never asked me if I needed another drink or how was my drink... she was focused on the locals that came in after me. It was a disappointment. I don't recommend this place if you're not part of the establishment demographic. I was passing through town and deserved the same treatment as the locals...I paid $10 for a glass of water...with a splash of cranberry juice. I was able to charge my phone, use the bathroom and wait in a warm place for my train. If that's all you need it might be worth checking out.

Original review did not allow me to add a half star. This is my go to place in North Haven. Place was renovated over a year ago, and the outside covered patio (very large) was expanded too and will have bands on the warm weekends. You really cannot go wrong with any of their food. They are known for their "Doobs" chicken wings which get finished off on the grill. The are awesome! Great burgers too.Parking: Parking is tight as it is a small lot for how busy they get. Majority of times I have to park on the road, which is a side street with all businesses that are closed at night.
