Take advantage of the $5 apps, $3 well drinks (dranks), and $2 bottles, of which we will be on hand (probably wearing something silly and with girls in bikinis, maybe) to buy you a ton of. Read more

Excellent food! New kitchen staff as of 2015. Really enjoyed both chicken sandwiches. Salad dressing is a special recipe from the chef's father from Japan. Mighty good!

Awesome back room that's almost like being outside- aka a covered patio. Perfect for a fall evening out. No one seems to know about it so sneak away w/your date here

New spot on union & laguna. Great food.... Drinks even better. Mixologist Josh is like a psychic with booze. One look and he knows exactly what you want to drink!

⚠DANGER⚠: Do NOT under any circumstances order the atomic wings (unless of course your internal organs were forged in the fiery depths of mt mordor)

If you don't come here for $0.25 Chicken Wing Wednesday, you're wrong. Superb wings & great bar staff ;)

Always so packed and hard to maneuver around in. Wish they would remodel the way their bar is. There's much better places on union street

A tot-cho is a tater tot nacho and it should be consumed with joy and caution.

Taco Tuesdays! $1 street tacos, fish, beef and chicken.

Tachos! Nachos with tater-tots instead of chips. Pure genius.

This place has horrible food and horrible service. I had a groupon for this place and it still wasn't worth it.
