I went for the Reuben, and it did not disappoint! Made in house, tender and delicious (mine has no sauerkraut). The bread its served on is fresh and soft. We had the stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer. They were tasty, but the portion was small for $12 (5 very small mushrooms). Friendly service. Draft beer selection could be better.

Bartender was extraordinarily rude and dismissive. Was far more consumed with fiddling with his phone and worried about what song he was going to play next instead of taking care of thirsty customers.When we finally moved to a table, our serverJose took care of us and it was an amazing experience.Brussels sprouts, wedge salad and fried mushrooms and salmon were winners , but the bolognese was not good at all. Overall a decent experience, if we go back we just won’t ever sit at the bar again.

The ambiance is great. I like the wood work of the bar and the huge mirror. Takes a person back to a high class western Tavern, no spittoons allowed.Great place for a date night. Away from the hustle and bustle of the Plaza and West Port. Update 2/8/24 went in for a bite. Ordered BLT and Tots with a glass of tea. There was so much rosemary on the tots I couldn't eat them. The after taste of the rosemary took away from the BLT. The BLT had the B & T, but there was very little L. Sadly I have to drop my rating. To a 2 start. The bartender was kind of rude when I asked about the tab. $17.00 was too much for such a horrible meal. The tea even tastes like rosemary with lemon. I didn't ask for lemon in my tea.

Cozy neighborhood bar and restaurant. Familiar faces. Kind people. Rotating cocktail and food menu with delicious comfort food. Great for brunch. Owner is a very kind person. Gives a discount for teachers, which I appreciate.

This is a great little hideout. the staff were exceptionally friendly and courteous. They have solid whisky selection. The food came out quick and was tasty. We will be returning to this establishment.

The food is really good-tastes homemade. The drinks are thoughtful and delicious. It’s exceeded my expectations both times myself and whoever I’ve brought has been here and I’ll be back ? (espresso martini and salted caramel White Russian-ate my food too fast to share ?)

The patty melt is crazy good (no picture cuz I ate it too fast sorry.) Never knew I needed a hybrid between a mushroom swiss burger and a patty melt until I tried it here. Delicious. And the rosemary french fries rock as well. Friends had the burger and flatbread, also great choices. Will definitely be coming back.

The brunch was incredibly bland, we were not interested in taking leftovers home. The cinnamon roll was overpriced, cold, and tasted too cheesy from the cream cheese frosting. Service was slow despite the place being pretty empty and two servers on staff.

Home of the official Manchester City Supporters Club, they put on all the games, despite it being 9am on a Saturday, or in the afternoon midweek for a champions league game. Staff here are excellent, super friendly. good selection of drinks, typical food menu. Nothing spectacular but agreeable. Nice atmosphere inside, and a small outside patio too for when the weather is good. Some tables out front also although you'll be ok the main road. Probably good when it's full on an evening and you're looking for breathing space.
