“ Had an upset trying another bar down the street and extremely happy it happened. Or wouldn't have found this place and the amazing bartender Jessie. Dude is handling everything up front and super quick and nice. Had crab tots, philly cheesesteak fries, and electric lemonade. Everything was fantastic. The music was a great vibe 2010s feel of just rock/pop bangers. Visiting from Houston and wish I was staying longer just to eat and drink here again. ”
