We stopped in for drinks and a snack. The service was great and the nachos we ordered were delicious. The music was a little loud for my taste, but wasn't to bad.
Good local hang out spot. Lauren the manager is the best. Always makes sure everyone is taken care of. Carrie and Joe the bartenders are so nice. Even Ernesto’s the doorman is super friendly.
Came here to watch FIFA but had to run away to a different place before the game ended. food was way below average for a pub/tavern. We ordered a pizza (horrible), hummus (okay), and Tokyo fries (horrible). Server would come and check whether you are “ok” or take your plates every few minutes. Payment goes through this platform that will charge you random fees. Music was way too loud. Never coming back again.
food: the wrap was good bar food, perfect for a pregame service: staff was nice ambiance: the music was insanely loud, it was a saturday but we were there at like 7 wanting to do a pregame dinner and it was just too loud for conversations
