Kamal SekhonMarch 1, 2018If you’d like to get pleasantly surprised just ask Che for his recommendation. Won’t be disappointed! In beers Sculpin rocks my boat, shots a plenty and nice vibes always keep you entertained here!- Kamal SekhonMarch 31, 2018The security runs the place like it owns the mfuckin place. Brandon (security) has a habit of pushing patrons around, no possibility of a logical argument here. You rub him wrong he gets you lol!
DawnAugust 25, 2021Beef nachos were good & Stone IPA hit the spot. Pizza crust could use improvements, but toppings were good.
Make reservation if you want a table outside to watch sunset.

TINA WHITFIELDDecember 30, 2012Great food and we had the seasonal blood orange margarita. Good stuff, great view.
Bree WilliamsonApril 27, 2011Chicken nachos were the best damn nachos I've ever had... But I have to come out and say it: what the hell is up with the little girls room always smelling like cat shit? Seriously. A litter box.
