Another birthday stop!…read more We stopped here for drinks and a game of pool. The place is really cool with an old triple arch back bar with lots of history. Not to mention the vibe here is classy and clean. It gives me an old prohibition period bar feels. Craig the barkeep was very friendly and welcoming. He did a fantastic job telling g us the history of the place and his role there. He expertly provided drinks and made me a spot on old fashioned! The liquor selection is very extensive and great qualities of bourbon and whiskey. The place was immaculate and the glasses were all spot free. However, it was a Sunday afternoon so not a lot of business but I'd like to come back during a happy hour! We will definitely come back here and would recommend trying it out for yourselves! Tell Craig, Hi!

LOWS: Food: Mozzarella sticks were pale and bland. The red sauce tasted like canned tomato paste. The charcuterie board was a let down too. The prosciutto was overly slimy and smelled spoiled. The bread wasn't a fresh sourdough like advertised, it was a Texas toast. HIGHS: Cocktails: The drinks we had were great! They have over 100 different bourbon and a variety of cocktails. Mixed Feelings: Music: The band Nola was fantastic. They matched the vibe we were expecting. But no one told us about the $5 (per person) cover charge. It wasn't on the menu, the website or the reservation nor was it mentioned to us verbally. Ambiance: The decor and dark chairs were great. However I've never been to a speakeasy with wide open windows that let so much light in.

If you are looking for something to do on a weekend this place should be added to your list.

Great atmosphere, great service and very very good cocktails.

8/17/26 11:30 p.m…read more Where to start? Well, when you walk in, you're greeted with a prominent musty smell and an incredibly sticky floor. The overall decor is very "college frat house," lol. Don't get me wrong, it's fun, but it's all over the place. Including the moose head full of bras, lol. The condensation from the AC ductwork is dripping all over the bar, including on the tables, chairs, and pool table. It wasn't too busy, but the bartender on shift didn't seem to want to acknowledge us while we waited at the bar to order. For the majority of the time we were there, she seemed as if she didn't want to be working and did not seem very happy. We did wind up getting a smile from her by the end of the night, though, and she seemed to cheer up a little. The bathrooms were an absolute disaster, and I would recommend risking a ticket going outside rather than using those bathrooms. They looked and smelled as if they hadn't been cleaned in months. Overall, the prices were not too bad. The specialty shots seemed a little steep for the small amount of alcohol that was actually in them, but they're "specialty," so...

Hello again Fort! I've benefited from your secret a couple…read moretimes now. Tonight before the Disturbed concert is no different. The crowd was minimal. We ordered drinks and an appetizer to share at the bar. I keep recognizing the bartender and I am sure she is there most of the time. My friend and I got a new item on the menu tonight. Even she had not gotten to see it yet. We got the Graziano Sausage Empanadas served with homemade marinara sauce. We got it to have at one of the tables close by since there was no crowd. They came out piping hot and really good. We both had 2 and it was the perfect amount. I love that they continue to keep their promise and update their menu on a regular basis. I posted the picture of the night that I was here, but it is sure to change a little. I appears the build your own burger is a staple as its been here since I first got to try it in 2019. I'd say "dont go" JUST so it can be a secret and not busy, but really, this is the place to hit inside Wells. Shhhhh.

We found our seat and were immediately greeted by a new server Rylie she was super sweet and gave us time to go over the menu. She did let us know she was new which was good because if we had questions that she didn't know she was willing to find out. Our drinks came quickly and were cold. Our food was good and fresh. The waitress came back multiple times to check on us. I have read some rather mean reviews on this restaurant and I do have to say people should understand how long these servers and cooks have to work. Some of them are pulling 12 hour shifts. Be patient, it seems they are trying to fix some of the previous issues. Again I will reiterate our service was great. The ambiance was like a pub with clean tables and the restrooms were clean as well. We will be back.

Wade and his staff are incredibly friendly, accommodating, and the patrons are a hoot to get to know. Thanks, Wade and crew, as well as your fantastic patrons; we will DEFINITELY be back to see you when we are in the area, no matter what brings us there. Slightly longer review: You're doing yourself a huge favor when you decide to stop in here... there's a great selection of craft brews, offering (at the time we stopped in) a well balanced variety of craft stouts, porters, lagers and ales as well as the well known National brands. There was a really good selection of liquors on display, and a fair stock of trimmings for mixed drinks, which the the friendly 'tenders aren't afraid to mix something inventive up - if you've a mind to it. The decor is museum-worthy and the patrons offer up great conversation. This bar is, without a doubt, in my top 3.

I saw the bartender go somewhere and come back and put vodka on his hands and wipe his hands and arms with vodka? Is this his form of sanitation? After using the bathroom. WOW that's scary.. Now the good thing about this bar is that the drinks are cheap, and they have fun events like a rock paper scissors tournament every week, with beer deals too! They have nice pool tables, beer pong room, darts, and music videos on a screen. But that's not enough to make me want to come back. The bar tender was not the most personable and that bathroom situation is just bad! If you want go to an actual "DIVE" bar without the charm this might be your spot!

Excellent recommendations on beer selections. Great customer service. bar: Yup, that's 250 beers on tap with an impressively helpful beer menu. I drank a Toppling Goliath Necataron DH Sue ($9 for 12 oz) and it was awesome. food: Seriously fun and creative throwback menu that revels in rarely seen delights such as Velveeta, Dorothy Lynch dressing, Tang, and Broasted Chicken. Spicy Diablo burger and crinkle fries ($14) was spectacular. Gringo Tacos and cup of chili was equally fantastic ($13). details: Booths along one side, tables down the middle, bar seating, and outdoor area. Small adjacent parking lot and some street parking. Excellent background music. High Life Lounge is sister restaurant next door and equally amazing. Note there is 2% surcharge for using a card, which is more than fair.
