Awesome spot. Loved the beer selection . Personal fav is the draft Negra Modelo . Food is great too: cheese curds come with buffalo ranch dressing (yum) & the buffalo chicken quesadillas are great.

Heather Folsom

The menu listed on foursquare is NOT accurate-it belonged to Marbles , the previous bar/rest. That said, B.I. has excellent cocktails , cute patio , great chicken sand & salty nuts , & BEST fries ever!

Samantha Green

My absolute fav bar in the city . Awesome food, beer list , service, inexpensive , great atmosphere & a very nice patio in back. Lindsey is by far the best server :-)

Mike

A delightful dive bar with $3 pints of Coors heavy, $3 shots of bitters (woof), one other rotating draft , and an extensive bottle list.

Travis McGee

Cocktails are unique and all excellent. The burger is a must, either a single OR A double patty.

Michael Tsirtsis

Two brothers raising the bar oh hospitality and quality cocktails , while keeping the neighborhood feel . Everyone's favorite bar !

Dominique Cruz

The blonde boy who checks ID's has been rude repeatedly. This is my neighborhood bar and, I enjoy the outdoor patio as well as the frozen then fried pickles but can do without the attitude.

Emily Bolton

This place is great. It has all the charm of a dive bar except they have great drinks and a mildly polished look.

Shari

Skip the fish and pickles , definitely were frozen. The pico chicken salad was really good, and they had pumpkin cider :)

Beer list is good. Food is cheap and tasty. Love the patio . Sit in the front of it if you don't like smoke. Sit in the back if you're a smoker. Addicted to this little gem of a bar . You will be too.
