I’d be really nice to find a way to like section tables away from the dj, it was really hard to hear my date when they started the trivia but the environment was still amazing

Fun place with some good menu items (mac & cheese, fries, salads). Burger and fried chicken both way over cooked. Want to love this spot for pre-Shea’s, but struggling.

Overall ambiance was great - a wonderful addition to downtown! Suggest the addition of a small chef salad, chili and/or soup and ice cream. Brownie dessert was a fail. Beer & wine was great.

Went for dinner and a drink before a show at Shea’s. The location for the theater district is amazing. The food and beer were great. It was a bit loud but not so bad that a conversation could not take place. Highly recommend!

It was too loud to really comfortably have a conversation. It was cold and not really pleasant. Probably better as a bar than a restaurant but we went to eat and the food is just okay.
