    Great dive bar if you're looking for cheap drinks and well-maintained pool tables! Food is tasty too!

    Been here a long time ago, but this was our first visit in years. We stopped in for dinner on a…read moreFriday night. I called ahead to make sure they had room, and we arrived around 6:30 p.m. Food: We started with a couple of beers, and I also ordered one of their specialty cocktails, the Girl in the Neon Moon. I think of it as a Miller High Life Summer Shandy, and it was very tasty. For dinner, we ordered the Street Corn, a Double Palomino Burger, and the Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich. The Street Corn was just okay. I'm used to street corn being roasted, and their version was sautéed. In my opinion, roasted or cast-iron-charred corn delivers much better flavor. The burger was excellent. They nailed the medium-rare temperature, the patties had great flavor, and everything arrived hot. The toppings added great texture, although the bun struggled to keep up with all of the delicious beef juices. The Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich was nothing short of amazing. They use chicken thighs instead of breasts, which are almost always more flavorful. The chicken was lightly battered and perfectly crispy. The pickles and mayo were a great complement. I ordered the hot sauce on the side and mixed a little into the mayo, which turned out to be the perfect choice. The fries were also very good. My wife said she'd come back just for another order of those. The portions were generous, and we ended up enjoying another meal from the leftovers the next day. Service: Several different servers took care of us throughout the evening. We were seated quickly, water and menus arrived right away, drinks followed shortly after, and all of the food came out hot. Everyone was efficient and helpful, but we never really connected with any of them. The restaurant was only about half full, so I don't think they were simply too busy. It wasn't a deal breaker, but it's always nice when the service includes just a little conversation along with taking care of the essentials. Atmosphere: It's a neighborhood corner bar serving surprisingly good food. The bar itself is attractive, with oversized, comfortable bar stools. The dining area is simple but comfortable, with plenty of space between the tables, and the noise level made it easy to carry on a conversation. We're really glad we stopped in and would happily come back. Next time, I'd skip the Street Corn and order the Brussels sprouts instead, but I'd keep everything else exactly the same.

    Great service and menu. We came out for Bay View gallery night and since our was early Friday…read moreevening around 5, we had our choice of seating. A comfy booth on one side, chairs across in the back of the place was just right. Staff were quick to take our order, friendly and helpful. We had a delicious falafel sandwich, burger, Brussels and loaded fries. All were good. The fries were crispy and salty - perfect! The falafel sub was 3 falafel and crispy creamy coleslaw. If some additional veg or herb sauce added I think this would be welcome. Place is clean and comfortable. Staff checked in frequently and refilled our soda and water. I enjoyed a nice sour beer, since these are my favorite I would love to see more on the menu. Overall a good place to eat on a Friday night.

The cocktails are so good that their menu has been awarded for being outstanding. The restaurant does get a bit crowded on the weekends so plan ahead. They do have a large bar to sit at. The service is excellent. The only thing I haven't found to be to my liking are their main dishes. The flavors aren't a hit for me but I can tell they are well thought out. I simply skip out on the main dishes and go straight for the fried oyster mushrooms as an app, and then pair those with a delicious cocktail. The have a wide variety of adult beverages available.

My friend ordered My Darling Amadeus, which I wasn't sure I would like, and I ended up loving it! It was so good. Our waitress, Michelle, was very friendly and knowledgeable, and our food was outstanding! The duck was decadent and cooked perfectly. The Barramundi Fillet was amazing! I loved the crispy top, English peas, and Green Goddess Puree. If we had room, we would've ordered dessert, but we were so full! 10/10 experience!! Can't wait to go back.
