I ate here last night for the first time and had an excellent experience. The burger was one of the best burgers I have ever had. Burger rolls are made fresh daily, the burger itself was juicy, tender and cooked exactly to the temperature I ordered. The draft list was great too, many craft options to choose from. Service was friendly and prompt, and the atmosphere was pleasant and inviting. Prices were very reasonable. I will certainly be back!!!

Can't do a full review honestly because I haven't eaten there yet. However, I'm very impressed with the take out beer selection. Much better than what the previous owners had. Good, wide variety of craft beer. Layout is about the same, but it definitely looks much nicer, cleaner, organized. No smoking inside anymore (which I personally appreciate) so it doesn't smell like an ash tray. Service is always solid. Definitely recommend checking it out.

We took advantage of the $5 happy hour menu, and ordered a caesar salad, chicken wings, and a personal pizza. Our waitress was very attentive, even though we were the only ones in the dining room,.and she had to keep coming in from the bar. The salad was excellent, and large enough to be a meal. The croutons were buttery and flavorful, while the dressing was creamy and tangy. The cheese pizza was very good, with four nice sized slices. The crust was a little thick, and not one of those cheap frozen bar pizzas. The wings were done to perfection, and we were allowed to choose two sauces. The mild had a little bit of heat, but mostly a tasty tang. While the General Tso's was tasty, it had too much so for my liking. The wings came with blue cheese dressing, celery, and carrots. We saw that the sandwiches all came with homemade chips, but none were available as an appetizer or side. We asked, and were able to get a basket of chips. They were thin and tasty, although they could have used another 30 seconds in the fryer. Even though the menu is limited to typical bar food, with no entrees, I would definitely return.

Frank is a wonderful man and I love his $5 burger special. I don't like the chubby long haired bartender. She is rude and I can never get a second drink. Good owner and excellent food. Bad service but I still give him 5 starts. Its hard finding hired help.

This was my first time eating food here. My husband and I ordered a variety of things. He ordered the stromboli (lg), and I ordered 3 different appetizers. Fried pickles, mozzarella sticks, & sweet chili wings. First & foremost, the food came out piping hot. The fried pickles were not what I expected. Was expecting to get pickle chips, instead, I got the whole pickle spear. It was wonderful, refreshing and absolutely delicious! I suggest everyone do fried pickles this way. You get the crunch of the pickle with the breading. Mozzarella sticks were the norm. Marinara sauce was hot. The wings...not impressed. Almost like eating chicken on a stick at a Chinese buffet. Very overcooked. Sauce was pretty good but wings were almost jerky. Calzones was super huge and can easily feed 3-4 people.

I actually am a tenant in the connecting rooms. I’ve been living here since late March of 2017, and in the 9 months I’ve been here I’ve never really visited the bar for anything more than rent-related reasons. I changed that over the New Year’s Eve weekend. I stopped there on Friday night, New Year’s Eve and last night. Great bar, awesome staff (Sam and Steph are excellent bar tenders), TVs available at all angles so you never have move too far from your table, they have nice games, and the food was great. I ordered the BBQ Brisket and for as big as it was it was surprisingly inexpensive. Good atmosphere, people, jukebox, etc. And from a tenant perspective even though the bar is connected to the rooms it’s still far enough away that you don’t hear anything. I’ve been here since late March and in all that time I’ve only been able to hear the live bands a handful of times through the walls (which is extremely reasonable for Saturday nights in the summer time). I’ll probably be stopping by a bit more now that I actually have the place a visit.

Great place to grab a bite and brew! I was here on a Saturday, which showcased a $3 half cheesesteak, which was BIG and very very good. They boast a large assortment of bottles and have a great draft selection. Can't wait to go back!

I wasn't sure what to expect as this place is unassuming. It's not fancy, afterall it's a pub, but the food is high quality. We couldn't stop raving about the food from the moment it came out. My guy had the brisket sandwich and I had the pork bbq sandwich. Both were absolutely delicious. The sandwiches came with their homemade chips which were simply amazing. We'll definitely be going back.
