Very fun bar with upscale pub food. We were seated at large table, with plenty of room for our large party. The food was good, with nice vegan and vegetarian options. It is noisy, though!

Joey was our server and he phenomenal! He knew the menu well and helped us decide our dishes for the evening. He also was all over our drinks, which is hard to find anymore. The pretzel sticks were yummy and my grilled bacon and cheese sandwich was out of the park good.

Busy as to be expected, wife’s flat bread was pretty bland. My shrimp Po’boy was excellent. They fit us in an hour before our reservations do to change of plans. Waitress was the biggest issue. Slow and unattentive once our meal came out. Had to get a bartender to pay.
