If you are looking for a bar to close out the night, this is the place! It is always packed and a fun time. If you can get to the second floor, do so.
Great atmosphere and the upstairs has a pretty cool layout. Nachos are 10/10. Huge portion. I also recommend trying the Sour Monkey. My only suggestion to them would be to try a different recipe for the house pickles because what you got right now ain’t it.
Unfortunately this place waters down their alcohol to the point where you can’t even taste it. I’ve been there twice and both times several people in our group noticed their drinks tasted like water. The second time we were all sober. If you go, make sure you get a beer and not a mixed drink. But would avoid altogether.
Service: The waiter tried to throw shade at me for eating some of the mozzarella sticks I ordered and sent it back. My friend and I probably took a fourth each before we decided it was gross and had a bad aftertaste. He comes back and is all like "but you had half of it." Do you own this place? Seriously, get better service. Food: Mozzarella sticks were massive for no reason. They smelled really bad and were way too salty. The marinara was not good either. I got fries which were just average.
The Waffle Batter covered chicken was crazy delicious, and surprisingly very filling. I almost didn't have enough room for these Tilapia tacos which were 🔥. Although only a few, they do have non alcoholic drinks and the Watermelon Martini was super refreshing. Nice chill spot.
