Went here on a date with my gf. The outside seating is good if it's not too hot. Food was good but portions a little on the small side. I like to eat and have paying a good sum to not be full.

This is a great spot in Princeton. Large beer selection and the wait staff is very friendly . The food is reasonable priced and good. Basic bar food.

Michael Dylan Ferrara

great selection of beers + chill atmosphere for intellectual conversations💡

Julie

The new bar and beer selection with rotating tap of craft beers is the reason to come. Happy hour specials aren't great. Food is decent.

Leah R

The specialty drinks like mojitos and alcoholic lemonades are always wonderful and never disappoint.

chris nickey

great place Esp. When the Chris and Tommy Goodtime Folkrock show are playing in the patio bar . great beer selection and the scotch selection ain't too shabby either!

Daniel W

Had the Shepard's Pie . Was pretty tasty, but was prepared slightly different from what I am used to (wasn't layered). Also, Coconut Creme Brulee was very tasty.

Jimmy Kastner

This place gets crowded . But it's really that good. Amazing beer selection .

Alexis Marie Designs

Mediterranean salad with salmon and a glass of Malbec . The perfect way to end a shift!

Known for consistently good food, particularly for Sunday brunch

Pareesha Narang

Ask for their summer mojitos . They're the best!

Richard Thornton

I don’t suggest anything anymore. Prices are up, service is down, and atmosphere is horrible. This bar used to be , THE Princeton Hangout; I went there tonight, 4/28/19. I walked out. Try Tap Room!

Eric Andersen

The today special, Baked Crab Stuffed Portabello Mushroom , was delicious.

Elias Guzman

A little too expensive . But delicious food and nice selection of crafts beers .

Sliders are great

Terry Stratoudakis

Great beer list and looks like a cool place, the service is lacking... To me, the bartenders have no experience tending bar ...

Fischetti, J

Blackened Tiger burger is pretty tasty.

Erin J

The outdoor patio is a plus but what's with the no booze before noon rule on Sundays?

Sumit Bohra

Get the Vikings Blood. Best mead ever.

Lawrence Rosenthal

Nachos are shockingly spicy . Nice spot though!

Jon Mabb

This place kinda blows. Real slow service for drinks. 2 burgers ordered medium - one came out well done. And I feel like they sneak you 12oz beers for the price of a pint.

Mark Smith

The burgers are great!

Marija Naumoski

Try the shepherd's pie , the best I've had in a long time!
