Description

A neighborhood standout with an impressive tap list and confidently executed dishes—from a lauded Cuban sandwich and lamb burger to fried green beans and zucchini wedges. Service is typically attentive and personable, and the vibrant, welcoming atmosphere makes it ideal for pre-show dinners, locals, and group events; an upstairs reception hall handles parties. Expect occasional staffing gaps and a slightly unclear seating/greeter policy, but the strong beer selection, lively ambiance, and reliably tasty fare make it well worth a visit.

I had never dined at this restaurant before, but I was thoroughly impressed. My sister and I stopped by for some food and drinks before a show. She ordered the Cuban sandwich and claimed it was the best sandwich she had ever tasted. I tried the fried green beans, which were so delicious that I couldn't resist them. Our waitress, Tiffany, was exceptional, and the atmosphere was lovely as well. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

We went to this restaurant to use a Groupon deal and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the beers we tried; they were all excellent. Both the Cuban sandwich and the lamb burger were outstanding. The staff was friendly, and the service was top-notch. Overall, it was a delicious experience! If you appreciate great food and beer, this spot is certainly worth a visit.

Absolutely amazing! This restaurant has a vibrant atmosphere that captivates you as soon as you step inside and lingers until you walk out. Our server was fantastic—so funny, personable, and incredibly attentive. The menu is outstanding, and as someone who is quite particular about food, I can honestly say there’s a dish for everyone! The beer selection is top-notch, and the food surpasses expectations. I will definitely be returning here often and will recommend it to my friends who visit.

They were having some staffing issues so I can understand the wait times. The locals there were nice and welcoming. Shall return next time I'm in town. Good beer tap selection and I only had a chicken wrap which was pretty good.

I went because of the DDD review on food network. Food was great, service was excellent, but I wasn't sure when I walked in if I was supposed to just seat myself or wait for a greeter. Eventually I poked my head into an ajoining room and got someones attention. It's a great place to get a beer and there is a reception hall upstairs. Great for parties.
