There's an outdoor patio, lots of bar games like darts and pool, and a separate side room that my large group basically took over for a private event. There were a couple dozen of us and the servers were on top of it, very attentive! I have to tell you though, the best parts about this place are the amazing food and the people! This is not average bar food. Everything was super fresh and they have a lot of creative menu options. The southwest burger, Reuben and fried green beans are a must try!! I will also never forget our bartender, Heather. She became our best buddy, suggesting drinks she knew we would like to try and chatting us up. I just loved her!! Thanks for the great experience, 3rd Street Station!!
