I want to love this place. They have a wonderful menu, execution and service are the bottle neck. Half of the mussels weren't open in our appetizer. After waiting an hour we got one of our entrees, we never got the second one so after 15 minutes we said we had to leave. They apologized. They only took $2 off for the mussels. The waiter was also the bartender working a packed bar. The manager and waiter/bartender seemed very overwhelmed. Im sure this place could be a great restaurant, but the focus more on their bar clientele.

Called for takeout and ended up with flat breads (blueberry steak jalapeño are you kidding me?) and wings all done to perfection. Great local joint with good brews and great service, a rarity these days but they have it figured out.

Have enjoyed everything I've ever ordered, and at reasonable prices.. the service is sometimes a bit slow, since there is usually one server, who is also the bartender .. still worth it ..

The food is all made in house and is excellent. Deep fried tacos are great. Have had the fish fry and steak grinder, all great as well. Prices are very reasonable. Service is good but like everywhere if they are busy it is slow. Don't go on trivia night unless you are there to play trivia. Very loud and crowded. Love the food and we keep going back to try more things.

I love this place. I stop in whenever I’m hiking one of the many local parks. Food is excellent and the staff are always really friendly. I was there last weekend and Lilly made us feel very welcome even though the bar was busy. I highly recommend the burgers and wings and the special fries option. Good for live music too. I drink NA beer and they had two options Heineken 0 and Labbatts Blue NA. Having multiple NA options is a hallmark of a bar manager who knows what they’re doing. Always impressed.

Waited forever to get our food (an hour). Seems kitchen was more concerned with take out orders. Pretzels were cold. Staff all over, waitress being the bartender and bartender being a waitress. Literally about 6 1/4 inch pieces in my whole wrap mostly veggie as the filler. Something is definitely off they used to be spot on. Always loved their hot pretzels. It will be some time before I go back. 😞
The wife and I were in the area and thought we would try something new. Saw this was down the road from where we were so why not.
We got there around 5 and it was starting to pick up. So we put our order in, pretzel sticks, 10 wings Burboun BBQ wings and a small white pizza.
Everything was exceptional! The sauces/dips for the pretzels were good. They both had a kick to them, which was nice. The wings came out crispy and grilled with the sauce. The pizza looked a bit burned, but it was definitely not. The crust crispy but not dried out, which surprised us. The oil or the herbs had a taste like an artisan style, yum!
My only complaint, I wish bartenders didn't have to do their job and waitresses at the same time. It just takes longer for everything. But that's such a minor thing. Give this place a try if you haven't already!!
Great time at my favorite type of establishment...Where locals congregate and "libate" (as in libations) and out of towners feel welcomed.
Bar tenders Lily and Anna are genuinely friendly, attentive, and maintain the positive flow of the place.
Good vibe bar with a great menu, reasonably priced, and good selection of specials.
Definitely my "happy place" when I'm here.
