My sister and I thought this would be a great spot to eat, drink and hear some music. We sat at the bar and were ignored. The staff was way more interested in chatting with others. I'm sure they could tell it was our first time there but no one spoke to us. We left. The band was good. I wish I would have read the reviews before going there because this seems to be a common and long-term problem.

Food and beer section are always great! The kids the love the games, endless popcorn, and live music.

Everyone is always kind and welcoming. We come early evening/late afternoon with our kids, and the staff is always so friendly and welcoming. Wonderful beer selection, great food, and relaxed atmosphere. My only slight complaint is that they should have more than 2 high chairs for families.

The bartenders here are not it. We were made to move from our table because their friends came. They said it was reserved when it clearly was not as there were several other tables clearly marked as reserved with large signs. There were no available tables and thus we lost seats we had been at for over an hour and would have sat somewhere else when we arrived if it had been marked. The table next to us was also not marked reserved but they didn’t ask them to move. Only the table with the black person was told to move. We will not be back.

Say if you are scared of unknown germs or covid, stay away from here.The bartender poured me a beer. I went to take a sip. noticed ? stick still on the glass so it was not washed. the Guy was still trying to tell me I am paying for that beer with someone else's germs in it. "at least it was a Lady I hope. never know these days. " but I still prefer to know the person @ least of I am sharing germs.& he was just going to pour that beer into a different glass & not get me a new glass and beer. Good thing I made him get me a different beer entirely.The food I really can't say. the Artichoke dip was okay. I had better, and it's hard to mess that up.I have 0 intentions of coming back here ever, I should have just walked out after the drink disagreement.

Nice place, friendly staff, very high quality beer, lots of seating. Prices are more like new york but the quality is there. Live music and a Rock n Roll atmosphere that welcomes a musician in with open arms, photos are from just before a show on Christmas Eve weekend. The manager Nahubba was very Rock n Roll to talk with. Check out the #22 IPA has a great flavor without a sharkbite at the end. Definitely a great place to visit. Posh an tough.

This place has potential. The beer selection is great and atmosphere seems good, nice lay out and live music, although the service is terrible.On 12/08/2023 our group of three arrived at about 3:30, to celebrate a going away get together, by our 2nd round of beersthe female bar tender on duty looked at us and smiled as she asked"Who here has never been here before?" after raising our hands, she told us to "go sit at a table because I like my regulars more than you"We got 86'd from the bar because we were not regulars, and since this place literally does not have a staff to serve tables - we technically had to go back to the bar to order, if we wanted to stay. I literally cant even make this up. If your not a regular "go sit over there."Maybe this is just a local thing? at this bar?I really did want to explain to this tone def bar tender, why her tactless approach to customer service, really is ultimately detrimental to her long term success.So nice place - just don't sit at the bar if your not a regular and don't wait for someone to serve you at a table - go to the bar!

Went on a Tuesday night for open mic night. They had very good participation and a good crowd the day after Christmas. Could have used an extra bartender as it was so busy. Good selection of beer on tap. Food was okay, but as expected for the type of venue this is. The singers needed their mics turned up as it was hard to hear them. The atmosphere here was industrial loft warehouse with tables with benches and high tops with stools and maybe 10 stools at the bar area. Could have done with something to make the venue cozier or more comfortable, but I think this was the vibe they were goining for.

This is a great local neighborhood spot for grabbing a pint. This time I decided to try the bombers. The selection was awesome, as always! Can't wait to come back and dive the selection of drafts. The pay it forward wall shows this spot is clearly a pillar of the community.Great place to check out local music and grab a bite.
