Summary first: casual, food is good; family friendly, pleasant staff. The thing that really stood out was that this place is family friendly. The waitstaff made those patrons with children feel comfortable. One server even held a little one while her parents settled in. The food was good bar food. I'd give their sea salt and black pepper calamari a solid 8.5-9. I would have loved to try their spicier versions, but my 86-year-old parents would have struggled. By the way, my mom dove into the platter like it was her job. That says a lot. We had French onion soup, burgers (turkey and beef) with a variety of toppings and their handcut French fries. All four in our party gave dinner a thumbs-up. The draft selection is decent, offering something for almost any taste.

Wings were awful and service was even worse. Didn’t seem short staffed just waitress seemed too busy talking. Waited over 30 minutes to get check. Almost 1 1/2 hours just for apps

Local sports bar with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere! Great place to grab a pint or mixed drink along side some fantastic food! Very nice selection of beers, mixed drinks and liquors for a multitude of ways to pick your poison. The Jack Daniels Burger is absolutely delicious. A homemade Jack Daniels sauce is a little sweet and quite savory. The burgers are always cooked perfectly when I order them. Their hand cut fries are also fantastic and can be enjoyed on their own or with one of their fantastic sauces. Finally, the wings that were voted "Best Wings in Saratoga" according to the Saratogian. I was actually impressed with these hot, juicy & crispy chicken wings. I have gotten both hot and abomination sauces. Hot was delicious, but I felt it could use more spice. Abomination was amplified intensely on the level of spice AND the flavor was still amazing. If you enjoy intense levels of spice, Abomination wings are the absolute way to go! I kind of wish there was a level of sauce in between Hot and Abomination, but both sauces are fantastic as they are. If you want a relaxed atmosphere, great selection of drinks and fantastic bar food, THIS is the place to go in Saratoga!

We had the hummus platter and my wife had the chopped salad and I had the maple salad. Everything was fantastic! We both had salads the day before and these were much better. It was definitely worth going out of the way a little to find this neighborhood gem!

People were friendly food was awesome great service great place highly recommended I'm just saying it for this

Fun restaurant. Great food & excellent service!

Great food. Great clientele. Our “Cheers”

The service staff was friendly but I wasn't a big fan of the food. The wings were average, someone's burger at our table was very undercooked, and my Mac n cheese was on the sweeter side and too creamy for my taste and $18 was a little too pricey for this dish in my opinion. I will try again and see if I have a better experience

Very good pub food with great service. Will definitely go again.

Consistently great tasting food and service
