They had live music and a somewhat secluded patio, which made it a pleasant place to sit down and have a couple of drinks and enjoy the atmosphere. Our server was friendly and helpful and fast considering how busy it was outside (we took the last table) Drink menu was thorough with a lot of different beers on tap and in bottle. Food was okay. There isn't a huge selection, so this makes it difficult if you have a large party with varying tastes. I found the food price point a little high considering the portions. I had the onion grilled cheese. This was good, but I was hoping for more of stronger onion flavour. My husband had the featured grilled cheese which he liked. It came with tater tots which were fine but not standoutish. I had my sandwich with the fennel salad which was fresh, clean and lemony. Honestly, if we decide to go here again, I will just get a large salad of this. Well worth the trip if you want a great place to listen to music.

Parking was easy, and the outdoor patio was fantastic, it's nicely enclosed with plenty of picnic tables, making it a great place to relax. The service was excellent, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. They also have a great beer selection. The menu was the perfect size, not too overwhelming, but with lots of tempting options. I ordered the feature sandwich, and my partner had the Big Mac Grilled Cheese. Both were delicious! The inside of the pub was really cute too. It happened to be trivia night, and the indoor seating was reserved for participants, so we sat outside instead, which we didn't mind at all because the patio was so enjoyable. The prices were very reasonable, and the location is an added bonus. After dinner, you can go for a nice walk around the area or stop next door for ice cream at Made by Marcus, which made for the perfect end to our date night. We'll definitely be back!

We went here for the crab boil and I think for 30 bucks pretty good bang for your buck…read more We also ordered a couple of appies. The calamari and the roasted broccoli. Atmosphere was a typical pub ambiance. Really not remarkable. I liked though that the music wasn't blaring and I could have a conversation. Server was friendly and helpful. Food was quick to come out. We both loved the calamari. They were thick pieces that were well seasoned. Definately need to order this again. Broccoli was perhaps a bit underdone, but flavour was good. When the crab came out it looked a little skimpy in terms of potatoes and the other shellfish. However with the appies we were filled up well. Crab was tasty and well boiled. Potatoes were okay and the few mussels and clanms on the bottom. I would come back here for that still. All in all a good meal.

The atmosphere is ok but not very appealing! The music is extremely loud, especially if you are closer to the windows. The food was not bad but again lacking the "wow factor"! The group that I was with liked more physical games like basketball and it's funny that all three basketball games were broken or malfunctioning and when we informed the staff, they seemed to know about it. I think there should have been a sign on the broken games especially because they were not free. :) In general, It wasn't a great experience and I may never go back there again!

The beef dip took a half hour to show up, had almost no beef in it, and was served with a side of potato chips, right out of the bag. Hope you like sour cream and onion! The wings were OK, good size, nice that they're oven baked. Stick to the wings. Drinks are watery unless you know someone who knows someone. I asked for top shelf bourbon and got served a lousy sour mash. Sent it back just to get a song and dance from the bartender that he forgot to add bitters, that's why it's so sour. Total BS. The duelling pianos are missing keys. The only thing to recommend this place is a good big screen projection to watch the game. The Bourbon Room is on it's way out, not worth stopping by to witness it.

Portion sizes might be smaller because of the great prices but then again generally one really doesn't need to overeat whenever one goes out so that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I probably come here a couple times a year at this point -- it isn't super near other places I frequent downtown on the regular but at the same time it isn't out of the way either. Always a good stop for a work lunch on a warm day, I do recommend it.

The menu is basic but thourough - handhelds, salads, a few mains, and appetizers. I have come here a number of time and everything is fresh. This time my husband and I both tried the smokeshow burger. Look at all the filling in the photo. Where for 10 can you get something like that? I couldn't finish my burger. Fries were hot and crispy as well. Also we were there for happy hour which is super fun to try cocktails on the cheap. My favourites are the Pineapple Express and the Jalisco pick me up. Great atmosphere. Love the vibe here. I am interested to come here once their patio is open. Service is friendly and welcoming. My only critique is that the bathrooms is in the basement with no elevator. I can't meet my friends here if they have mobility issues. Maybe something for them to consider if they want to improve the inclusiveness in there. Great time overall.

In addition to a great selection of drinks, there is a small food menu with music-inspired names from bands or songs. We had the "Risky Brisket" which was smoked brisket piled high in a bun with lettuce, tomato, crispy fried onions, BBQ mustard sauce, and horseradish sauce. The brisket was juicy and delicious. On the side we shared an order of "Fries Against" - a large portion of house-cut, skin-on fries with a garlic aioli. Service was helpful and friendly, and prices are reasonable. There is also live entertainment and jams on some evenings. A really fun spot.

The menu is hilarious riffs on rock and roll names. I ordered a bottle of Cerveza Sol and a Creedence Cubano Revival. The sandwich was amazing. Pulled pork with ham, Swiss, pickles, mustard BBQ sauce, and garlic aioli on sourdough. The music was good, but unfortunately, the rave upstairs kind of drowned out some of it. There were legions of raving, furry-dressed youngsters filing in and out. We started off with 80s/90s music videos on the multiple TV screens, but they switched over to the playoff game when it started. Service was super friendly, attentive, and nice. Had a great time. Will be back when I'm in the hood!
