Great service, friendly staff but we were very disappointed with our food. We ordered the Alley Mac Burger, the Mac sauce was good, but the meat patty tasted cheap. The chicken tenders were greasy, the fried Mac and cheese was basically just fried kraft Mac and cheese and was ok but not something I'd order again. The simple nachos were exactly that, simple. They were 9 dollars but weren't as good as taco bell Nachos. The staff is probably the only reason it has 4.5 stars cause the food is honestly a 2 out of 5. ?There's so many other restaurants downtown that I could gave spent 50 bucks at that would have left us satisfied.

Pleasantly surprised to find this in downtown Greenville. It’s upstairs so be prepared to take a good flight of steps to get to the restaurant. Greeted quickly and seated quickly as well. The views to downtown Greenville were amazing! They do have a sit down bar area and several places for regular seating. Our waitress was helpful and definitely checked on us to make sure everything was good. The nachos were so good and even split between 2 people was more then enough, I’m sure 3 good eat these. I liked how there was an option for half nachos or the full plate which is what we got. They had a couple vegan options so my daughter got the burger, they accidentally brought us a regular burger but thankfully we got the error and they quickly got us the right one and took it off our bill. Definitely hoping to make it by here again, great dinner!

Let me explain the 3 stars:My husband’s meal was SO GOOD. He got the Jamaican sandwich and it was weird and absolutely wonderful.My meal was just ok, but the fried plantain was worth the trip. GET THE FRIED PLANTAINS!! But my taco was layered all wrong, the tortillas weren’t heated up and they put the pico down first. This is a recipe for a very wet, soggy taco that falls apart instantly. Also, the flavor was sort of sad.My daughter got the nachos with fried Mac and cheese. The nachos were as dry as cardboard and showed no sign of having queso. The fried mac and cheese were totally flavorless.So, moral of the story, it’s hit and miss.

My daughter and I walked in behind a group of four and there were no others behind us. Ironically, the group of four was seated (they were walk-ins just like us, no reservation). As the host was getting ready to seat them a girl came from behind the bar and yelled “No more walk-ins”. The host proceeded to seat the four despite her statement. He returned to us, asked if we had a reservation, then told us sorry but he could not seat us and made no offer to put us on a waitlist. I understand that places are understaffed right now, but seriously?! We came in at the same time as the other group and got turned away. There were numerous empty tables. This situation was handled poorly and the girl was downright ugly and rude as she yelled to the host. Disappointing experience and enough to make me reconsider trying again!

I literally cleared my plate. Everything was really good. I had fish tacos to die for. My son was in town with his girlfriend and he found this quaint, comfy pub. All three of us loved it!

Ordered an appetizer and drinks. Appetizer arrived first, drinks took about 15 minutes. Both food and drinks were pretty mediocre.

Love that they have veggie options that aren't just salad.

Great place to hang out. Nice view of Main street.

I ordered the Jerked Tofu Plate, and it was DELICIOUS! I was happy to find a place downtown that had viable options for everyone in our party (I am the only veg eater).The staff was friendly and the portion sizes were very generous. We'll definitely be back!

Great service. Bar food, but not bad.
