What Dragojla Miličić doesn't like about Against the Grain Urban Tavern:

Pretty standard elevated pub food. Gorgeous view of the waterfront so I can imagine in the warmer months they would get pretty busy. Service was good and our wa...

Been there many times. Always great food and great drinks. Could use better prices, but their location kind of justifies the higher costs.

A chilling place to enjoy good food, tasty cocktails and friendly environment. The outdoor seating during summer is just amazing.
