Some persistent complaining and discussion got us seated around 34 min into it, but waited 45 min for our order to come out. The food and drinks were too mediocre for that kind of wait.

It's a mainstay, it's a standard and you can count on it. Tons of great beers from all over the world, lots of different drafts, there's something for everyone. I recommend the Bo-mans bacon cheeseburger with the preferred fries and their bbq sauce. Lots of TV's, great place to watch a game or have a party. Good to go solo for lunch and a beer, like I said there's something for everyone.

Not too conducive to deep conversation, but we chose a sports bar, so I didn’t really expect it. Food was good, definitely above decent! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner
