“ This is a great place to take your friends and family. Chicken sandwich is delicious. I always get the fried cauliflower as well and it's always on point and melts in your mouth. Service is always excellent and it's always interesting to see what older movies/TV shows they have playing in the background. 10/10 recommend to everyone. ”

“ I ordered fish and chips for carry out and had a bananarama while I was waiting for my order. It’s a cute little bar with a good vibe. The food was delicious and the drink was good. ”
“ Honest to God didn't know what to expect going in there didn't seem very big but was decently spacious and the prices weren't to unreasonable but the food was absolutely amazing and the atmosphere was very delightful would say definitely stop by here and try their food and drinks so worth it ”
“ My Home Bar as I call it. It's close to work,and they do things right. They take good care of you and make you feel like they appreciate your business. The Food is excellent! The Haddock Sandwich I highly recommend. Go on in, they'll take care of you. ”
“ Have been here several times. Always top-notch. Great neighborhood bar and grill feel. Really good food at good prices and reasonable (dare I say comparatively cheap) drink prices. EXTREMELY busy during my last visit. "Might be a while for a table but a couple sitting at a table for four said they wouldn't mind if two people joined them" so we did. Received a complimentary aperitif for the "inconvenience". ”
“ Out of towner here. Looked up. A few places to eat on a Monday night and this was one of the places that was actually open. Glad I found it. Let's start with the decor. Wood paneling. Taxidermied animals. Old beer advertisements. 'Back to the Future' playing on the TV. Disco ball on the corner. What?!??? This place is darkly lit with the feel of a dive bar. However, the drink menu is expensive and the food was amazing! I ordered the Fish and Chips. The heading was perfect. The coleslaw was actually freshly made and wasn't drenched but in mayo. Beer was cold. I have started this place and will be back again before I leave town again. ”
“ What a fine little gastropub, if I do say so myself! Very fine flavors to their food, and they're not afraid to throw some *thw-pAP!* into their mixed drinks, either! A nice place to enjoy some great food, and with a fun feel to the environment, you can rest easy, banking on comfort. I would say this place is geared towards persons born in the 70s and 80s. ”
