I had been warned about this place beforehand, and it all turned out to be true. I was there for an event. The bartenders were rude all night. I get the sense they don’t like a certain umm demographic of their clientele because I was outright ignored constantly. But they were extremely rude to everyone else in my group, just not ignored. I will not be returning. It’s a shame since the place looks really neat and it does host events I would be interested in seeing there again, but not with those bartenders. Also cash only. Not the worst offense but it doesn’t help given the surrounding circumstances. A little more professionalism would go a long way. Also I frequent many dive bars and off the...

I hadn’t been to this restaurant in 20 years, and my recent visit left a sour impression. While I was at the bar, I spoke with a gentleman who had just come from a senior citizens center where he played music for the elderly. He played the piano and remembered that the restaurant had one. He kindly asked the manager if he could play it, but unfortunately, the manager, who resembled Eddie Munster, was very rude. He mistakenly thought the man was trying to get a job in exchange for drinks. Without cause, the manager ended up kicking him out. I was appalled by the treatment this gentleman received. I won't be going back to this restaurant, nor would I recommend it to anyone.
I really enjoy this restaurant. I haven't tried the food yet, so I can't speak to that, but I can confidently say that the service is relaxed and casual while still being professional. The ambiance is stylish for a bar and grill that stays open late. There are comfortable booths, a dance floor, a section for live bands, and a bar. The layout keeps you nicely insulated from the hustle and bustle of the busy street outside. As for kid-friendliness, I wouldn't consider it suitable for children, but that may be because I've only visited in the later evening when kids should be in bed.
Great place to get a drink, low key atmosphere, mellow vibe that can pick up quickly into night being a fun place to hangout with friends or family. Different nights have different events, Sunday jazz is great. Great staff, very attentive, always positive! Book a table now
Great place for a quick drink, catch a sports event, or nice supper. CASH only, but there is an ATM on site. This helps keep the price reasonable.
There isn't a food menu, but the atmosphere and the people make up for it. Everyone feels like a friend, and the music is fantastic!
The beer selection is pretty sparse, but the service and atmosphere is great. I went for the live music and was not disappointed.
Didn’t have food but cocktails were strong! Bartender was great. It was a slow night. Seemed lots of locals there. Book a table now
