Bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. Inside seating just didn't look approachable. Just wasn't comfortable. Maybe if I was drunk already and didn't know better then ya it might have been ok. However the outside has potential. They offered Cornhole, Connect Four, and idk what else. There was also an outside bar and an area with a gas fire pit if that made sense. Smelled of lots of kerosene though. Outdoor Couches/Lounge area. Definitely more a young college kid scene. Drinks are way over priced. No real desire to go back really unless it's a last stop on my way home.

The owner’s food special is called ‘Battered Woman’ and I’d defer going here if it were up to me.

Pricey, loud, staff weren't very enthusiastic about being there. A real chore just to get a mixed drink.

We were literally finishing our drinks when the bouncer knocked down our game of jenga. Really ruined our night. Not cool

It's a just a big bar with food, I got good service though.

Definitely a more club/party feel for a bar. Loud music and outdoor games with great TV entertainment. The drinks were good and the staff were responsive.

Owners locked up in jail for assault. Should be enough not to go there. Known to be a horrible guy.

Owner is questionable. Pretty sure he’s locked up right now.

We stopped here for a beverage after walking around the Farmer's Market and before heading home. The atmosphere was open, airy and lively and the beer selection was above average. On the flip side, the beer was expensive ($8) and the glasses were smaller than average (see picture). A nice, modern place, but I'm not sure of the value given all the other options downtown.Food: 3 (popcorn was tough and in a small cup)Atmosphere: 4Service: 3 (credit card machine malfunctioning)If you found this review helpful, please click on 'Like'. ??

Super nice and friendly servers, priced a bit high for the food and drinks but overall a very nice experience
