They just launched a vegan menu which seems pretty cool, but most of their menu is typical bar food. They don’t have any drinks for non-drinkers unfortunately. Had the Diablo chicken sandwich and the Diablo burger. The sauce wasn’t very spicy, had a sweet tang. Tasted as expected. Fries and tots were good. Solid place for a hangout.

I was thrilled that they kept the kitchen open late. The food was excellent! Matt, the bartender, was incredibly friendly and helpful; he even introduced me to a new favorite beer.

Our meals arrived in a timely manner and appeared to be fresh. The menu offers classic bar food such as tater tots, fries, and burgers, along with an impressive selection of various beers. However, the staff who were clearing tables and delivering items seemed a bit stretched and overwhelmed. I'm not sure if it was just a shortage of staff that evening or if this is a common occurrence. The restaurant has plenty of parking in a well-kept lot and is conveniently located next to the Gold Line, making it accessible by public transport. They also offer free self-serve water. While I would think about coming back, it’s not high on my list of places I feel compelled to revisit.

The staff were friendly and attentive throughout my visit. The food was outstanding! The pizza crust was light and flavorful, the tater tots were crispy to perfection, the chicken sandwich was absolutely delicious, and the warm, salty pretzel tasted fantastic, especially when paired with the cheese sauce. I also tried the forbidden fruit beer, which was tart, fruity, and incredibly refreshing! There's also free parking in a spacious lot, and the location is very convenient. I highly recommend this place and definitely plan to come back!
