Food: Decent food, unbeatable value

The Happy Hour Mac and Cheese and Chicken Tenders are worth a mention, described as delicious, juicy and perfect in portion. But the crowning dish has to be the Nachos that win thanks to their amazing flavor, crispiness, and ample toppings. You may see some stale tortilla chips but even in bar standards, food is decent and fairly priced. Their dishes are what you'd call a perfect pairing.

  • Great Value

    Happy hour specials and overall pricing provide incredible, unbeatable value.

  • Okay Variety

    Decent selection, varies from typical bar food, good for pairing.

  • Low Quality

    Stale tortilla chips disappointing given the otherwise high-quality food served.

Vibe: Dim room can be off-putting

Music could be too loud, filled with dim lights, aging decor, and a generally cramped environment. The plus side is an entertaining karaoke, live music, and some strong, affordable drinks. It's far from couple friendly but unquestionably popular among locals.

  • Great To Entertain

    Karaoke and live music create an engaging, fun dining experience.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Dim lighting, cramped, loud music, and outdated decor detract from experience.

Perks: Efficient service, tricky parking

While the service is often swift and friendly, and makes group reservations a breeze, finding parking could be a pain. Outdoor seating also leaves much to desire, especially with the weekend crowd; the laid-back vibe does a disappearing act. And beware, you might have to struggle for a word in edgeways. Should you still decide to dine, the doors are easily open.

  • Great Service

    Friendly and fast service commended across numerous customer reviews.

  • Bad Outdoor

    Weekend crowds make seating scarce, tarnishing the laid-back vibe.
