Eric FernandezSeptember 17, 2012Had the greatest time here last night. The drinks, music, staff, food (hot wings!,) and place was amazing! I tried Delirium Tremens beer. It's on my list as the best tasting beer I've had to date.

Great HH. Bartenders are on their game, especially Molly (quick, friendly and pretty). Mondays have $11 pitchers, $5 ribs and burgers. Weekend brunch with entree at bar + $10 gets u open bar for hour.Upvote3Downvote
HolidayMay 26, 2018Don’t be afraid to order sushi with a chicken pot pie - yes a little but of everything and all delicious. Salads too. Great staff!Upvote2Downvote
Bartenders Excell, menu has something for everyone, clientele are more diverse and wonderful people than you will ever meet in a regular cocktail bar and restaurant. Cheers on steroids.UpvoteDownvote- doug jaegerDecember 14, 2010The high life burger is the best burger in the world. It combines a bacony patty, a grilled bun, cheese, spicy sauce used on spicy tuna roll, with the freshness of Ginger. Wow. Thank you.Upvote1Downvote
Sushi sushi sushi! Monday & Tuesday 50% off. Always delicious. Always fun music. No guarantee that your team's going to win, but might as well watch that in good neighborly company.UpvoteDownvote
Jessica Herbst-ThornNovember 8, 2015Service excellent, food very good...kitchen willing to modify something on a Saturday night, and they offered to do it! Happy Hour specials were great too!Upvote1Downvote
They have happy hour deals every day! Mondays are the best for half-off sushi!

Kathy MatthiesenApril 8, 2016Great for a casual brunch. Your first brunch cocktail is only $2.50!Upvote1Downvote
Neelu RaviMarch 26, 2018I wasn’t sure if this restaurant specializes in Mexican, American or Japanese food!? They have sushi, burgers and also Fajitas on the menu which is really confusing. I didn’t enjoy this place.
