    An awesome dive bar with a great energy to watch a game or catch up with friends. The bone-in wings are delicious! Perfectly fried with great sauces. The bone-in wings could be smaller and crispier, and the fries are pretty small for the price.

    I think anyone who enjoy a casual bar should drop by. Great service at the bar and chill vibe. Great music choice according to me. Is it very very special... probably not and it is not trying to be. It is that neighborhood bar that you love to have around. Would return anytime when the kitchen don't really close. I order the smash burger and it is average. Good enough. Perhaps, I should have gone for the wings!! Burger: just an average burger but you get to eat late ... so good enough for the trade-offs

    Drink was tasty!! Unfortunately there was hair in my food........ yeah. Atmosphere was very slow and dead. Not many people. Which is nice if you're looking for something chill. Service was okay

    I ordered the smoked wings and was told they took 20 minutes to fix...was surprised since they didn't smell like they were smoked in house and $16 for 6 wing pieces is steep.

    Some of the best wings I've had in a while! Sat at the bar for a quick pick bite. I remember coming to TallBoy when it first opened and the vibes were still the same. Great bar food, diverse crowd. Our bartender was friendly and attentive. All was well until I heard a scream a few seats down from me. I looked down and saw a huge roach scurry across the floor. I have the biggest bug phobia so I was pretty done after that! It's going to take me a while to recover from that

    A place where you can get a beer, shot, and a lottery ticket, who is not trying this place out? We came here on a Friday afternoon and the place had a great vibe and the staff was friendly. They have a nice menu for drinks so if you are in the area it is definitely worth checking out.

    Very tasty and juicy burger. Patties tasted good. Our service was friendly and fun. A little pricey.

    These Honey Sriracha wings...let me tell you...SO GOOD. I would have never guessed that the sweetness of the honey mixed with the spicy savoriness of the sriracha would work well together, but it for sure does! I truly appreciated how much sauce came on the wings! Great place to grab a beer and eat some good bar food after a long day at work!

    After brunch on a Sunday, we made our way to Lucha Rosa for a few drinks, and it was the perfect…read moreway to spend a lazy afternoon. We arrived around 2:45 p.m., so it was nice and quiet with plenty of seating. By the time we left around 4:45, the crowd had definitely started rolling in, so if you're looking for a more relaxed vibe, earlier is the move. Since we'd just eaten, we kept it simple with a few rounds of cocktails and an order of chips and guacamole. The guac was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. It tasted like it had just been made, and the chips were the perfect vehicle for it. Now let's talk about these drinks! First, I ordered an espresso martini, and shout out to Lucha Rosa for already making it with tequila because that's exactly how I like mine. No special requests needed! I also tried the Lucha Rosa Margarita, and whew...it was SO bomb. It was as pretty as it was delicious, which is always a win. The service was great from start to finish. There wasn't a hostess at the stand when we walked in, so we grabbed seats at the bar. She greeted us shortly after, and our bartender was friendly, attentive, and happy to answer our questions about the cocktail menu. His recommendations did not disappoint. Pricing felt comparable to other rooftop bars in the area, maybe just a touch higher, but nothing unexpected for the location and atmosphere. Speaking of atmosphere...the rooftop is gorgeous. The indoor and outdoor spaces are both beautifully designed. It was blazing hot and sunny during our visit, so we happily stayed inside enjoying the air conditioning, but I'd love to come back on a cooler evening to enjoy the outdoor space. Lucha Rosa is definitely worth adding to your happy hour or rooftop rotation. Great cocktails, fresh guac, friendly service, and a beautiful space? That's a solid combo.

I got the Lucha Rosa signature drink and then a Paloma. Both were great, they were strong but the taste of alcohol wasn't unbearable at all. That's the mix I like. The service is good too with the bartenders attending to you pretty regularly. Their food isn't impressive at all though so I'd recommend eating elsewhere after ge a drink in the sun here. We got beef and chicken tacos which weren't great but filled us up since we were starving.

Both reported, it was an outstanding choice. They enjoy the time before they took the Metro back home. There are no complaints about the service, and they didn't really mention what the place looks like. But it could not have been too bad. They did say, it was clean and nice in the 22-year-olds that's a compliment. They also said it was convenient to get to the metro from there.

Runners just do that. Run around the restaurant throwing food down on tables and run back to the kitchen. Never checking on anyone to see if they need anything and how the food is. I ordered the SW Salad ($16.50) with a steak add on ($9.00) at medium temp. I also ordered a cup of Clam Chowder ($5.95) as an appetizer. Chowder came out pretty much right on top of my salad, but no big deal. Chowder was decent taste, but only found one clam. Ok whatever. Salad came out looking like a side salad on a large plate with five slices of rare, tough steak. It was so rare, that it was extremely hard to cut through, but again, who was I going to talk to about it. No wait staff would even look my way. I couldn't even get a refill on my water and there is no place in the app to order a glass of water...so that's that. Unfortunately it was just an extremely bad experience for $40. I'll be looking for dinner somewhere else tomorrow night.

But maybe that's better for them too. You can order to-go at the window and/or request a spot in the limited spaced dining/bar area. I've only gotten the Sub Club the few times I've gone here but what can I say? its a fail proof staple that is hard to get wrong and that they do very right. I often pair it with one of their drinks, this time being the spicy ginger ale which was solid as well. There's really not much place to dine-in if you're trying to dine and go - I recommend only using the dining area if you're solo, a couple, or part of a small group (at MOST maybe - a hard maybe - on 4 people) and only if you want to use the bar. One couple tried to squeeze in a baby stroller into the bar/dining area. Its really not suitable for things like suitcases or strollers so if you're in that camp maybe try some other spots because that also made a tiny space all the more difficult to navigate. Also, if you have a mobility device, this might not be the best spot for you either. I've never used their restrooms before so can't comment on that one. I still will say it is good for when you want to grab and go - so if you're in that category, and you like moderately priced sandwiches (for this part of town) this might work for you.
