Great atmosphere, live music and amazing cocktails.

I made reservations for lake effect, but seated downstairs at rabbit hole. Normally I would not care, but it was so dark! The room reminded me of a college bar, all dark and exposed pipes and beams in a basement, but with eclectic furniture. The place was packed so we appreciated that we had reservations. Our sever was nice and brought our drinks quickly. We order tin can nachos and fried pickles to start. The nachos were huge and tasty but filled us. The pickles were good too. I would definitely go back to try other food items, even if back in the basement.

Food was fabulous (had brunch). Did not leave hungry! Portions are plentiful, and such a great variety of options for brunch. The staff are very friendly and attentive.

Came in for brunch on a Sunday. I saw the ambiance on the website looked great and the boozy French toast enticed me in. The ambiance was very nice with a great band. The food was just ok. French toast was doughy and the ice cream and whipped cream were tasteless when they were supposed to be whisky and baileys flavored. Overpriced for what you got. Breakfast enchiladas were just ok. Nothing special. Drinks were expensive and unbalanced. Again just ok. I would not visit again.

We had a great time. We really enjoyed the band. We will be back.

Best. Nachos. Ever. Get the tin can nachos if you like nachos. They won't disappoint.

Exceptional service, delicious food and the ambiance was just what we needed!

We came in the afternoon. It wasn't too busy but there was still live music. It was a nice ambiance. The drink selection is great but a little pricey. We had the tin can nachos and some pork belly. The nachos were a bit soggy because of the amount of salsa they put on them. They were plenty big for two of us and they still tasted good. The pork belly was incredible. Overall, it was a nice experience. We would definitely go back.

Fantastic food and excellent service! Perfect for date night if you are looking to impress.

Nice place for a drink Great live music Food, ok, service was ok, miss steps along the way
