    Way loud, way obnoxious and way expensive… But it’s a sports bar!!! It’s also touristy as hell!! Wings are NOT jumbo, a beer is $11!! , but Service was decent and kind.. glad I finally tried it but definitely will not be back

    Great food and ambience. Beer selection is strong. Only thing for us was our server Paul…hard to find once he had all the food orders. He did mess up one entree (rang it in wrong).

    The wings really good! We tried to do the big wing deal with a group, they would not allow us to mix and match boneless and bone in.
