About this restaurant

Originally known as Handlebar, it was famously featured in Gordon RamseyÕs Kitchen Nightmares and was shutdown in 2009 and reopened again in 2011. However, in April 2016, it was announced that Handlebar would be undergoing a makeover to upgrade it. The resultant DocÕs Refresher is definitely a pleasant change. Pairing hearty food with great drinks, the restaurant is a sports bar cafŽ that offers breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner options ranging between comfort food and finger food. Focusing more on the bar, diners can enjoy their drinks from a selection of wines, beer, spirits, classic cocktails or custom made drinks at the previously called Handlebar. Happy hour comes around twice a day, making DocÕs Refresher a definite favorite for those who love frequenting sports bars. Majority of the dishes in the menu are rotated on a seasonal basis so you can always expect to eat something new at DocÕs Refresher.
