The tables are all barrel type tops with bar stools. If you want anything you need to go up to the bar to order regardless of food or drink. The wings and sandwiches were good and I tried the local specialty which is called the garbage plate. Two hamburger patties covered in chili, macaroni salad, French fries with a gravy. It wasn't bad and considering how hungry I was it worked. The wings were in need of more seasoning as they were Cajun hot wings.

The staff is fun and helpful, the menu is solid, and the burgers are stellar. If you're sharing, they'll even offer to cut the burger for you which is such a thoughtful touch, because doing it yourself can quickly turn into a big ole mess! They have a great selection of beers on tap and bottled, plus cocktails and other drinks. The customers are characters in the best way, which just adds to the charm. It's also a little bigger inside than I thought. I'll definitely be back. Street parking is available.

The Detroit style pizza is phenomenal! Perfect crispy crust. I was there on a Friday but came back the next day to try the tomato pie as it was sold out on Friday. It was delicious! Think focaccia with tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese. So tasty! But what is brilliant is that of four pizzas, one rotates each week and changes. I had one of the rotating pizzas: pepperoni, banana peppers, garlic sauce, and honey. It bears repeating, wow! So great! The beers? There's something for everyone! So many hazy/New England IPAs and sours. Great seltzers too! The space is great with room for private parties. Such friendly staff. I hope to come back again before leaving!

I am from Detroit and love the style of pizza and they have a good version. Most importantly the crispy cheese crust and topping to the end of the pie. But... the pretzels are deep fried and are slightly sweet. The cheese sauce was a little light on flavor also. The service was fantastic.

It also has a couple outdoor tables. The Meatless fried chicken sandwich was PHENOMENAL, we have tried a couple at other places which were good but now that Ive had this one, they dont compare!! This sandwich will make us a regular customer. We also tried the Drunken cheddar soup which was very good. For beer we had a local made Ithaca draft. They only had 8 beers on tap, but shelves of different whiskey.. The staff were all very sweet girls and were constantly asking if everything was okay. *Would love to see a couple more vegetarian/vegan options.

Last evening we stopped for dinner and a beer. We had an excellent British beer, Speckled Hen. We shared the Chicken Korma and Fish and chips (with the peas). The chips were very crisp and the fish was fresh. The curry was mildly spiced. We meet a couple from England. The man in the couple did an internship at the Old Toad years ago. He stopped in when traveling in the area because The Old Toad is the kind of place that you remember. You should stop in soon.

Parking situation is kinda hairy - extra tight spaces in a small lot, but it was manageable for a Monday, and there's street parking if you don't happen to get a space in the lot. Cheers!

Joey's is the ideal neighborhood bar spot. It's good for a quiet and sunny drink on the way home from work, a let's-close-this-place-down bender after a rockin' night watching Harry Potter at the RPO, or a packed-to-the-brim Halloween costume contest (the second place prize still hangs in my den). I'm never disappointed with the draft list--there always seems to be something new and interesting, as well as reliable standbys. They post to beermenus, and you can subscribe to e-mail updates. Food can be ordered from Richmond's across the street (sometimes they have awesome seasoned fries) or from Schiano's pizza (they'll deliver!). There are also abundant cheese puff balls at the bar, if you are so inclined (spoiler alert: you are). Go to Joey's. If you are reading this while currently at Joey's, stay at Joey's.
