One of my favorite vegan burgers spots with the sweet potato fries. Get extra garlic aioli.All food is really good. Music can get a little loud. Solid drinks. One of my favorite spots in the city.Vegetarian options: Get the burger!

Nice service! I loved the lobster pirogies, so worth it. I would go back just for those. The live cover band was great when we went!

Cons: Honestly, it was a bit more expensive than I am used to and the service was a tad slow for being pretty empty around lunch time. Maybe don't go if you are on a strict time limit.Pros: That was the most delicious espresso martini I have ever tasted. 10/10 worth the cost and wait

Super overpriced frozen food like you can't deny it all out food came out in like 5 minutes how do you explain that. Place would be cool if it was super cheap, hell yeah cheap mid frozen food in a sports bar setting that's awesome

Food was perilously mid.Ordered the Big Rig burger, and one would think, for a $20 burger, it would offer more. The size of the burger patty itself was laughable, and it was overcooked - not just overcooked, but bone dry (the food was out in maybe 5-6 minutes, which isn't long enough to cook a raw burger to the point of high desert dryness, which leads me to believe the patty was either pre-cooked or weighted down on the grill by an Acme anvil). Also, the egg was overcooked, the chorizo was disrespectful, there was hardly any coleslaw on the burger, maybe 2 whole jalapeno slices, and no fries... and yet, the sandwich as a whole had the structural integrity of Tower 7. It's one of the more expensive burgers I've ever gotten, and honestly, it's easily top 3 worst burgers I've ever had.Don't advertise it if you can't execute it, and certainly don't charge $20 for it.4/10 - would not recommend

Stopped by here while apartment hunting from out-of-state. Great menu, good food, and fantastic service from Evan - who did such an amazing job we were convinced he was the owner, going far beyond the vibe of being just someone who worked there.Given our experience, and what Evan told us about recurring events there, we will definitely be back.

Went here for a company event and a servers assistant not the actual server but the assistant to the server was very rude and acted as if the company I work for was bothering her! As we ordered over $1000 worth of items as it was a group of 20 or more ordering dine in, take out orders and drinks! I along with other colleagues actually left food there because we were told that the food had already been brought out to our table. Needless to say this will be the last time we choose this location for a company event, thanks to the wonderful servers assistant who made it her job to make us feel unwelcome! The server that helped our table was great A Plus! the assistant that was helping him, she was worthless! Not friendly, ugly and plain nasty to the people of culture. Hope you rectify this ugly sore on your establishment. However we will not be coming to this establishment ever again!

Amazing food and atmosphere. We had dinner but there was a more lively side near bar. Recommend for dining or hanging out with friends for drinks. ???

A nice place to visit before a show at the Ohio Theatre. It was an easy walk from the garage and to the theater from the restaurant. On this visit we had a group of 8 which we were easily able to make a reservation for online. They have a nice cocktail menu and beer list. We did have some cocktails that were ordered off the menu and they arrived in short and tall glasses so make sure you specify when ordering. Everyone enjoyed their meals but the star seemed to be the short rib dinner. Absolutely delicious!

It's a very nice place with good food, good bartenders, good cooks, and a great atmosphere. It's a tad bit pricey but it's worth it. It is LGBTQ+ friendly which is my favorite part. They have pretty good drinks as well.

My $13 margarita had a weird aftertaste and tasted more bitter than anything. The staff was friendly after waiting over 5 mins to be seated due to their confusing sign. Overall the food was hot and well prepared.

Every time I use Uber eats or Postmates they cancel one item on my order so I have to redo my order, and as soon as I redo my order they are suddenly not accepting orders anymore…. At 7 pm….. uhhhhh what? Your kitchen is open longer then 7pm on a Saturday.
