What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable consistently mention the friendly staff, solid pub-style menu, and great beer selection. Many appreciate the laid-back environment and say it’s an ideal “meet-up spot” before heading to nearby shows. The TVs and sports-focused decor give it a fun, energetic feel, especially on game days or concert nights.

Areas for Improvement
