"We had a wonderful time here! We were staying near by at a hotel and this was in perfect walking distance. We ended up going through the back door but it didn’t seem like that mattered. It was loud inside but I expected that with this place and it honestly made the vibe better. Food was top tier. Absolutely wonderful food. We each got a burger and split an order of cheese curds and those were addicting! Burgers were cooked perfectly and the sides were great. We tried the fries and the Mac and cheese. Both were great but I gotta give the win to the fries! I added a fried egg to my burger and it was also cooked exactly as I wanted and just made everything better. Service was great! All staff were attentive and quick with drinks, questions, etc,. 10000/10"

"Place smelled like marijuana and multiple employees were smoking it outside in public view. Came in to pick up the order and was not helped. The bartender was busy talking to a guy with face tattoos who was hovering around the area where I was supposed to pick up food. Had to ask two different servers for my order before I finally got it. Unfortunately, they messed my order up and did not give me fries. Instead, it looks like someone tried to make a burrito out of my fries, straight up disgusting. Sandwhich was not much better. Tried to call the bar up, but no one would pick up the phone. Edit: A manager got back to me and discussed the issues I had and refunded my order."

"It was good bar food, atmosphere, and service. I wish they had a better draft selection and better bottle prices/selection. Overall good place"

"It embraces a dive bar look, but I wouldn't call it a dive bar. Great place to hang with friends. Dog friendly, which is a great touch. There is some outside seating, but not a ton. Service is good. Beer and wine choices are that of a typical bar. The food is really good. Highly recommend this place to hang, throw some back and maybe watch a game."

"Interesting place to walk up to but when we walked in we were told to sit wherever we liked. Immediate we loved the vibes and they had consistently great music throughout the dinner. Think 2000s-2010s favorites. We were greeted quickly and got our drink order within a few minutes. Our waitress, Cassidy, was super friendly and took our orders. We told her it was our first time and she said everything we ordered is what she would’ve recommended so we were really hopeful! Our fried cheese curds came out nice and hot. They were delicious. Our dinner followed not too long after. Also hot. Also delicious. Throughout the rest of the meal we kept mentioning to ourselves how amazing the food was and boxed what we couldn’t eat to go. So final rating: 10/10 Music: 10/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 Staff: 10/10 Food: 10/10 Drinks: 10/10 It’s truly a gem of a place that I highly recommend anyone to check out!"
