Réjane TJanuary 15, 2017Really good food and tasty cocktails. The best part about this place is the chill but fun vibe (Friday after work) and the service was excellent.
Upvote2Downvote- L KAugust 8, 2014If you like onions, get the Big O Burger. Sangria is solid, as is the Root Beer (10% abv!). Keep an eye out for sangria pitcher or fishbowl specials (Thursday and Friday).Upvote3DownvoteUpvoted Dec 15, 2024

Lauren MeekAugust 8, 2014Try the root beer beer. Gets loud after 9 so don't try to have a in depth convo. Love that it is multiple levels for when you want a change of scenery.UpvoteDownvote
Great place to drink after some rec sports at North Ave Beach. It also gets pretty crowded at night and is filled with mid to late 20 year olds.UpvoteDownvote- Zach Solomon-BeloinJune 27, 2016Fun place with solid food during the day. I recommend their appetizers and sandwiches. You can't go wrong.UpvoteDownvote
