Deep GujralAugust 9, 2014The bar is always packed, and usually only 2 bartenders. For faster and more attentive service, pay with cash.
EMC◾️April 9, 2018The food was not good. Granted it was late night but they do late night food. also the bartender - big tall guy was wasted. Music so loud I couldn’t even think. After a long day this isn’t the place.
This place is enjoyable when it’s quiet in the afternoon. Otherwise it’s overcrowded and super loud. Cocktails are way too sweet.
Emily SokolowMay 20, 2013Beef jerkey, cheddar and bacon biscuits, and fries w/vinegar and mayo. Great Sunday night.
Beef and Stilton pie - do it. The sausage roll is also yum. Didn't love the jerky -- very spicy (good) but felt soggy
Maya Jimenez 😬March 18, 2014Steak tartare. Bacon jam & ricotta toast. All cocktails. You're welcome.
Port Harbor HomesOctober 26, 2013Nice beer selection, young but cool crowd ( I'm an oldster), good music...highly recommended.
Top notch brunch. Smoked trout with poached egg, can't go wrong.
Always a good spot. Can get crowded but a great spot to meet people.
After a drink or two, you may want to order a side of fries with malt vinegar mayo for the table. Do it.
SheenaDecember 24, 2017Came here once for a drink and another time for a work party. Catering is not their forte, all the food was fried/dry/salty. It's a shame because as a smaller group food was better. Drinks areon point
Leandro LageraMay 29, 2016Great for people watching and some of the best bar food around. Get some drinks and lose yourself in the afternoon.
Order off-the-menu cocktails, always. They make a mean Sazerac and Mint Julep.
Small but delicious brunch menu, great cocktails and bloody Mary's!
Cocktails here never disappoint. Wren old fashioned and wren-quila are must haves.
London NagaiAugust 5, 2014Can get crowded, so make sure you go all the way to the end of the bar or stay up front...the middle is a death trap
NinaJanuary 16, 2014Me & 2 girlfriends went to this bar for the 1st & last time tonight. The table waitress took the half full glass of my friend. When we complained to her, she called the security guy to throw us out.
Ashley RoseMarch 5, 2016Have a nice dinner at DBGB but not quite ready to go home? Stop here for a cozy nightcap
Christian HammerdorferAugust 24, 2013Fabulous steak tartare. Nicely stocked bar with local micro distilleries
Great weekend daytime spot. Nice beer selection. Soft shell crab sandwich = drool- Nicole RocchioMay 20, 2019Drinks are good enough but the bar isn’t designed well for a small group of friends (party of 4) - not enough room even when the bar isn’t crowded
Adam V.August 7, 2017Usually crowded, super fratty, with music so loud you can't really have a conversation.
Maximum BurgerMay 7, 2017Watery French Press coffee and slow service but reasonable prices, good food and nice interiors
Theresa RoldanJanuary 15, 2016Such a bro bar. It's good if you're into that. Drinks are good and pricey
Elie KardousJanuary 22, 2012My favorite new gastropub. Try The 7th, it's delicious. also indulge in their jars!
Try the Bacon Biscuit with poached egg. Probably the best brunch you'll ever have.
rebecca russellMay 17, 2013cheddar bacon biscuit basket. definitely worth the difficult pronunciation.
@JaumePrimeroApril 21, 2012Had an awesome olive brine cocktail here that the bartender made just for me. Score!
Nicolette RomeroDecember 7, 2014Cocktail recommendations - Moscow mule and mulled wine with brandy! 🍷

"Recommend for private party! Held one last Saturday with approx 25p in platform area - food was delish, no one was ever without a drink, and DJ is the best. Also very reasonable pp pricing. 👍👍"
