    I wanted to like this place but I got bad vibes. We first walked in and and there was only 1 bar…read morestool (party of 2) so we sat at a high top. They could have easily fit another 3 stools at the bar; people were actually standing in the places stools could have gone. The place felt like an old neighborhood bar where guys went after work for a beer before heading home. Everyone seemed to know each other. Besides the bar scene it was empty. I walked to the bar and asked for menus and a few beers. We had to go to the bar each time to order. We got the buffalo wings and Sikorsky sliders. Food took a while but it was worth it. The wings were breaded so they had a nice crunch to them. The sliders were great - grilled chicken, bacon, sharp cheddar and cracked pepper mayo. The food was really good, I always appreciate a breaded wing. The beer and wings were supposed to be on happy hour at $5 each as noted on the menu. When we got the bill we were charged full price for everything. We asked the bartender why they weren't discounted and he explained that they weren't on HH. We asked him to look at the menu and he said he would honor the prices but the menus were wrong...? I wonder how many times people were charged full price for these items before and didn't take the time to look at the bill. I don't know if that's a normal practice in this place but its a shame because I definitely will not be going back.

    This is a review I meant to write from this summer: This place looks ancient inside but it's…read morecharming old school neighborhood bar with really good food. Sliders are good, also got the buffalo chicken egg roll which was really crunchy. There's usually a dog hanging out inside, well behaved and friendly. I don't mind that at all. It's such a soft environment. As far as drinks, there is not a very good draft beer selection, basically your usual basics and a seahag. Why not some local craft beer?! Service was great until our waitress disappeared (went home?) I ended up going to the bartender to cash our our lunch check from the table. Still we will likely be back because the food is yummy.

    The place was packed since it was move-in weekend, and unfortunately, they were out of a few…read morethings. Service was just okay, but our server did handle one situation exceptionally well. We started with the pretzel, which was great. The dipping sauce made it even better. The naked wings were perfectly fried, and both chicken sandwiches--one fried and one grilled--were delicious. The nachos with Cajun chicken were also lovely, with plenty of chicken. The miss of the meal was the smashburger, which really wasn't a smashburger. It was left with only two bites taken. This was where our server really handled the situation beautifully. We didn't ask for anything or complain, but he offered to send the manager over. We told him that wasn't necessary and that it was fine. He then went ahead and took the burger off the bill anyway, which we really appreciated. Overall, the experience started off a little questionable, but it ended on a positive note. Despite a few misses, most of the food was good.

    I just feel like you can have good food and have good times if the staff there really cares about…read morethe food or service they are making I'm an akward guy I don't complain in person atleast but how we allowing service to be so slow not when they're busy instead there just up there chatting it's a restaurant not a hang out.. please if you want to try this place be mindful of that. Probably won't be back

    Suggested this place to my man because he's a craft beer fan. I haven't been here since it first…read moreopened, so I was curious to see how it was now. We sat at the bar, and I liked how spacious the place is. It has that industrial brewery vibe, a large dining room, and outdoor seating. It's also within walking distance of the arena, so this is a good spot to grab food and drinks and or meet with your group before a concert or event. The pizza is thin crust and has a similar style to New Haven pizza. The flavor was great, but I felt like the center wasn't crispy enough to hold the slice up. It made things a little messy because the middle would flop while eating it. We ordered three small pies so we could try a few different combinations. One was the Weekend Special, which was a red pie with garlic, fresh basil, buffalo mozzarella, pepperoni, meatball, shaved Parmesan, and oregano. The small was $27, which I thought was pretty pricey for the portion. The other two were build your own pie; one white pie with basil and ricotta, and one red pie with pepperoni, meatball, and green pepper. All three pizzas tasted great. My main issue was the texture of the center. I prefer my pizza crispy enough that I can actually pick up a slice without everything sliding or folding over. Service was friendly and attentive enough, although I thought it was a little odd that my bartender disappeared and someone else took over without any explanation. My man tried a few of the beers and enjoyed being able to sample different options, while I went with a margarita flight. Overall, I liked the atmosphere and the pizza was tasty, but I definitely felt the pizzas were overpriced for the size and what you get.

    Cute space very rustic with exposed duct work and garage doors still intact that can be opened in…read moresummer for outdoor seating We were seated right away but staff was less than attentive water was hard to come by beers were brought out in plastic cups our plates were paper plates - at this price range you would expect at least glass. Super dark in all areas on the restaurant Antipasto was the best of everything we ordered nicely mixed and large portion full of meats and marinated veggies The meats pizza could barely be eaten because the crust was thin and under cooked so the meats would fall completely off making it very hard to eat Chef choice pizza didn't have caramelized onions but rather red onions but thin with lack luster chicken cutlet and arugula on top Best pizza we had was the Margarita pizza fresh tomato slices, garlic and fresh basil We won't be back due to service and pizza wasn't great They take credit card and have a large lot for parking but can get filled up fast especially if there is an event at the stadium for concerts
