First time going to this local spot and it was a good experience. Easy and free parking which was awesome. Friendly staff and good service. Only experienced a happy hour here but I have no complaints. I would recommend experiencing this restaurant and bar yourself!

Used to frequent this location years ago, pleasant to be back for a group function.Food was good, bathrooms are clean as well as the floors.Plenty of TVs to catch the game on, along with a seemingly endless beer selection.Menu seems slightly limited post Covid, but no reason not to stop into a neighborhood pub for a good meal.Bottom line: I recommend this location to all.

Clean restaurant. Came in a group of 60, had a whole section just for us. Very nice atmosphere with the dimness, and not so loud blasting music you can’t hear. Food was great. Staff was kind of curt when it came to the check. They pay the cash and credit game of different prices. Credit card charge fee, pretty lame and kinda like a scam. Asked for no blue cheese on my flatbread and avocado instead. Five dollar extra. Bathrooms were fairly clean, cool penny tile. Everything on the menu looked good

Went here last night for trivia night. Great time. Good food, good service. Several small issues. The half price drinks were very watered down. The drying towel dispenser in the men’s bathroom was not working. They charged a “convenience fee” if you paid by credit card. First time ever I have seen this. I isn’t on the menu or otherwise stated. No big deal. Just the fairness.

The bartenders are all excellent. The drinks and happy hour specials are great. Food could use some improvement.

Good bar but the bar tender was rude, she got BIG ZERO customer service. Very over priced drinks, especially whiskey's. Check the price picture-

They are doing their best in light of staffing shortages. Food is good and service is improving

Solid American food. Good selection too. Ordering is by QR code so we only saw a staff person once for better or worse. Outdoor seating is nice though you do hear the sounds of Gallows Rd. Would go back.

Sorry to report that this place went downhill. The restaurant switched over to a QR Reader / server only, no wait staff. So you need to go up to the bar to get yourself a glass of water, a straw, extra napkins, or whatever else you need because no one will be checking on you. Yet they still have the same prices as a fine restaurant with excellent service like Coastal Flats. I had the $25 crab cakes this evening and they were nothing more than 3 2 inch dried bread pucs with no visible crab inside. I would advised that you spend your hard-earned money elsewhere.

The food was poor. I had fish and chips that were way overcooked.They did a trivia show that night, and apparently, the wait staff use that as an excuse to disappear. Our server was gone for 30 minutes or so while we wanted to get our bill. She was fairly attentive before the trivia started, but then she was gone. We had to ask the bartender to go find her.Combine the service with the quality of food, and you get a pretty bad experience.It's a shame because the place looks nice and has lots of potential. That's why they get two stars.

On a busy Sunday night (Memorial Day eve to be exact)..... this place was packed and literally one bartender made drinks, bussed tables ALONE.One guy bought out food and bused tables as well. You wouldn't be able to tell they were the only ones working. They kept moving, kept things in rotation and everyone was happy! I'd definitely come back!!!!

Recently my wife and I held a wedding rehearsal dinner for 35 persons and it could not have gone more flawlessly. We did all the arrangements long distance because we do not live in the area and it was handled by Isabella Mansilla, the regional sales and marketing manager. The appetizers we choose and the dinner itself were absolutely delicious. The price from drinks at the bar to the food were extremely reasonable. We held it in a private room away from the noise of the main restaurant and that worked out perfectly. I highly recommend this wonderfully casual restaurant without reservation.

Despite the previous negative reviews, our visit today (Trivia night) was pleasant: service was on point, food came out quickly and tasted good. The only suggestions is the QR code. Instead of paying every time a food order was place, maybe consider allowing a tab so adding things become easier and you only have to pay once at the end.

Such a fantastic place to eat, meet or reconnect. It's even better than it was a few years ago. So nice to see old friends, familiar faces, and meet new people. Classic Street Fighter 2 cabinet? Icing on the cake!

Worst service. This is our second or third time here, it's gone downhill since the pandemic. Had to search for our waitress to get drink refills and after 2 1/2 hours finally had to ask the bartender to find our waitress so that we could pay and leave. The food was passable but not great. The waitress was very snippy about the bartender having to find her so that we could get our check and pay.
