They were great at accommodating our last minute reservation. We were in town for a funeral and when they found out they gave us a quiet space to sit in. Food was great, but the service was exceptional.

We live in the neighborhood, so we go quite often. This past Friday we went for Music Trivia Night. They recently revamped and condensed their menu, which was a good thing. They have good selections of bar/pub food and have nightly specials also. Some of our favorites on the current menu that we had Friday night: pretzels and beer cheese, chili, hamburger sliders with fries, and french dip sliders. We ordered these and split them. In addition to offering live music, they also have music trivia night, which is fun for the whole family.
