Ah, I completely forgot I had already reviewed this place but here's an updated review! It was just…read moreas good as the first time. We had the nachos (do yourself a favor and buy only a half order because it's HUGE). They were so good and I didn't even have enough room for more food after that. Service was attentive and good! I got the "Summer Fling" cocktail and it was truly one of the best cocktails I've had in quite sometime. I had a couple of them and honestly, could have continued throwing them down if I knew I didn't need to be in decent shape the next day. The live music was fantastic too. All-in-all, still a cozy and great vibe here. I hope to go there again soon!

We arrived around 3:00 on a Thursday. We were able to get an inside seat. Two people were working and both appeared to be fairly attentive. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. My wife and I both had PBR drafts. My youngest son and I both had Steak Tips and garlic fries. My wife had grilled cheese and my oldest son had fish tacos. Everything was good, fries were extremely garlicky. I wish they would have given more steak. Service was good, food was good, and prices were fair. I would recommend and return.

This place was ok. It didn't knock our socks off or anything. I mean we did go during the week so…read moremaybe it was just slow. We tried a few beers. They were ok. It was a large space with plenty of table, high top, and picnic table style seating inside and outside there was plenty of patio seating. Right across from the Beverly Depot. They have food available which people were coming into grab and go. There was a handful of beers as well as some on cask. Seemed like they probably have more but were out of a good amount given the number of taps we could see. In general it was clean. Not sure we would rush back. Still we were glad we checked out a local place.

Backbeat Brewing Company does Irish breakfast once a month, and as someone who has only had it in…read moreIreland prior to this, it did not disappoint! Prices were extremely reasonable with a breakfast coming out to about $13 and the employees behind the counter were super friendly and nice. The breakfast was delicious and a great portion for the price. My partner who has not eaten an egg in about 20 years worked up the courage to try this one and LOVED it which was as a huge win as he now knows he does like eggs! I personally enjoyed the beans and sausage, which definitely were just as good as what I've had in Ireland. The restaurant was relatively quiet when we went, but there were still a handful of regulars there. There was also Irish session happening around noon, which we stayed for part of and it was nice as well.

Came here specifically for the vodka blood bag. The place and atmosphere is cute and our server was…read moreamazing and funny!! We absolutely adored him. The vodka drink is good, you can taste the vodka and strawberry, it's almost like a strawberry purée. It was a neat experience to see the "fake blood" go into the glass to drink I'm a tequila person but this was good. If only they had a margarita in bag like this, it would be good too. The food. I love taco salad, and this was pretty good. It's a big size portion too. My husband got one of the burritos which was huge but he said the taste didn't really taste like a burrito. He could taste the green sauce more than the meat and other things in it. I liked it but it definitely tasted more of the texmex side of things. Still would recommend this place!!! Will be back.

Its a 4.5.. you have all the pictures that you need already, no need to add more…read more The place is pretty good when Salem is in season, witches and things... Indoor and outdoor space is plenty and the service team is well equipped to handle the masses. We got there right in the middle of the mess and we're seated promptly. Tables cleared and they cleaned them asap to help with the rush. Love the fact that they were prepared for the mess that Salem turns when in Which season. 5 of us and food came out pretty fast too. The menu is not huge, its the same basic ingredients reused for different items. I had the steak tips with Mexican rice and beans, guacamole and a bit of lettuce. It was great. Ps add a bit of Howling sause but its not hot, well i like hot. The other adults plates were also good but with the caveat below. Its not real Mexican, its americanized Mexican.. Not Chipotle nor taco bell but you can tell as they use flour tortillas instead of corn. I know, i go to mex restaurants every Tuesday and can tell when its legit vs just good food.

We tried, the brisket nachos, the jerk chicken sandwich with plantains , fried dumplings and kids cheese pizza. The best thing and consensus of the table was that the jerk chicken sandwich was the best by far except for the plantains, skip those and the fried dumplings. Also if you get the nachos don't pick brisket it was quite fatty and not in the good ways. Service was decent can't knock that, fun place but food isn't their game, except for the jerk chicken sandwich everyone who ordered that agreed it was delicious.
