Very loud. My fish was burnt but I didn’t say anything because another dish was incorrect and we had a difficult time communicating this as the server didn’t speak English.

Excellent service and friendly atmosphere. Food was quite good, although the portions were a bit small ( chicken sandwich) for the price. Nice selection of beers on tap.

Got the fried chicken sandwich. Sandwich was delicious. Only ding was it was described as a "sauced sando" and I was envisioning a very saucy little minx of a sandwich to eat, but it was not that. Had adequate sauce to be tasty but not fully dressed. Still tasty as heck and I would eat again! This place is great. Go eat there and have beers there! You will have a good time and get some good food from some really nice people.

Appreciate them accommodating when we were delayed in getting there. Called to cancel cause I thought we wouldn’t make it.. but did 30 min later. They pulled up the reservation and sat us right away. The food was ok. The chicken nuggets were barely cooked. Great place, definitely worth trying different menu items.

We went out to try something new. They have a great selection of beers and my favorite was right there. Right off, that was a positive start. We decided to try different things rather than getting one plate each. The fried pickles although tasty, I found to be too doughy. The wings were delicious with the Nashville hot sauce. After that we topped it off with the pulled pork nachos. They were tasty and fit their description. There was one big fatty piece of pork on the side, that I removed but that’s what you get with pork. Looking forward to return and try other items on the menu. The staff was great, attentive, friendly, accommodating, not a bad comment here and I tend to be picky being a former server myself.

The restaurant was a solid 3 Stars. I would not go out of my way to eat here, but would eat here again if I am in the area. Food was not great, but it is basic pub food. Prices are a little high, but you are in a city and should expect higher prices because their costs are pretty high. Server was pretty good!!

This place has quickly become the favorite neighborhood spot for my boyfriend and I. We come at any time of day whether it be brunch (get the brunch wrap supreme -you're welcome), for some apps and a drink, or to get dinner. The service and always great, and we always feel comfortable even dining inside with the set up per covid-19 guidelines.
