Great beer selection , delectable bar food, and cool decor!! Good atmosphere with indoor & outdoor seating , although it's usually a bit on the loud side here.

1920's speakeasy bar with massive balcony overlooking the state library ! Cocktails , beer and some serious spirits ! Great selection of food and prices to match!

They have 12 types of beer to choose from the taps. Chicken wings are a must. check out the lunch sets. Nice atmosphere.

A fun place to hang out with friends. Comfortable couches , good drinks, music at an appropriate volume, etc.

Great cheese potato gems, actually not much potato (if any), mostly fried and crumbed cheese , need I say any more!

Get in early to get a space on the balcony

Melis Sönmez

The security guy is really rude. I went there with 2 friends, we were gonna go in and he suddenly asked whether we drank something else before, whether we would make trouble. We hadn't, it was weird.

Luke Ferguson

Cheeseburger and chips were delicious!

Lynn Wabbit

Voodoo beer and buffalo wings !

Very good food for a very very decent price

Joe Ortenzi

Food is adequate, but the real value is the unique beers on offer.

Ookami Prime

Nice relaxed attitude, but for the Bouncers. They may card you before 5pm.

Get the Man Burger . They really nailed it...

Cil Felps

Great staff , great food, :)

Best burgers in town !

Tomfoolery

Worst Buffalo Wings I've ever had... Sauce was way too sweet and not that tangy way it usually is. Included tiny amount of blue cheese sauce and that was mainly water

Phil S

Food is great.. But diet coke post mix tastes like it's been mixed with lemon lime bitters (terrible)

Mel

Good burgers

AL

Good happy hour for Friday until 10pm

HY Choo

Tasty food but slow service (food to arrive).

delleacious

Don't eat here. Waiter is rude, we had 12 ppl booked for 8.45pm & were told by 10.30to pay & leave dining area for late diners. We then drank @ bar & observed dining area was total empty. Bad service.
