A tiny space carved out behind an indoor golf simulator? Huh. OK. Inside, it's possibly half the size of the original A.W. Wander (which I dubbed a beer closet), so please don't bring your volleyball team, or your book club, or whatever. Yes, the whiskey list does seem to be exhaustive. My friend picked a scotch. I selected a pils from Lower Lake (huge shoutout to this brewery -go there! Buy their beer!) and my other friend grabbed an IPA. We sat at one of two tables outside, and there appears to be more seating wrapped around the side (at least, I assume that's where the cute young couple migrated two with their espresso martinis after enduring our old guy banter for only so long). Didn't explore the food menu, but it seems satisfying, and the servers shuttle back and forth from the bar to the enclosed food trailer that serves as the kitchen. Great, welcoming staff, a very enjoyable live music set going on. All around, a chill spot and welcome change of pace.

This place appears to have a rough crowd at first glance. Don't judge a book by its cover. The crowd looks rough but are a very friendly blue collar crowd. The food here is so darn good. Awesome food that is prepared by the bartenders. I've had tons of the delicious fried food on the menu as well as the pizza, both great. The wings are so huge and so tasty! Try the buck seasoned wings best combo I've had in a while. These bartenders know how to fry food to perfection, they should train some of the pizza joints. It seams locals get food to go here. I know it's the quality and prices. Not sure how they can be competitive with prices especially when most bars are getting $16 for 10 wings. Come here you won't regret it. I'll be there usually on Sunday for the games. PRO TIP wings are on special during SU and NFL games.

This was my first time here along with my sister in law's. We came to celebrate her birthday, and…read moreso happy we've picked it. The atmosphere was relaxing with each level and their own vibes. We checked out the coffee lounge first and got espresso martini and chatted. The decor was a homey feel and I can see myself coming back meeting up with friends for coffee and catching up. Then we headed to the speakeasy and had the seasonal cocktails and just ordered salads and sweet potato fries. Everything was delicious. The salads and fries were simple and I like my "girl dinner" lol. I was told to come back for their brunch so that's on the list. The atmosphere and vibes were cozy, a great place to unwind and catch up or like us celebrate a special occasion. Both service in the coffee lounge and speakeasy were welcoming. I see that they host tons of events so I'll definitely have to check those out. Also can't wait to check out the rooftop lounge once they warmer weather returns. They are utilizing the space with bubble tents with reservations, so that's a fun idea. A cute and fun spot on Tipp hill to definitely check out.

I was super excited to have dinner here and it did not live up to my expectations whatsoever... we…read moregot there and the speakeasy was closed for a privated event, which is completely fine. Drinks and food was being prepared and served in the core lounge instead and it was a mess to say the least. It took 30-40 minutes for our food to come out and when the Brie board first came out of the kitchen it was sat on the counter for another 10 minutes, leaving the Brie to have a film over the top and was no longer soft. The flatbread was a disappointment, there was no sauce on the pizza and it was just way too bland for the price.... The service was extremely slow with 3 people working and all the customers in the lounge seemed to be sitting around in the same situation that I was in. Won't be coming back...

Great space enormous indoor bar, outside patio bar, and pavilion for music and events. I met friends to see Arcade, only $5 admission plenty of space, we only wish the pavilion had fans during these hot temperatures. Wait lines for drinks were short and moved quickly. I believe the drafts I ordered were $6 each. Next event I'll have to see what other options are available. Draft beer doesn't keep well in extreme heat. Towards the end of event I went to inside bar ordered a Margarita and ordered the short rib tacos with fries on the special to go. Fries hot and nicely seasoned. I did peek at tacos which had a nice presentation even for a to go order. Upon my attempt at consuming them after returning home, I realized the meat was rare at best, undercooked for this cut of meat. The texture was of raw fatty meat that was unfit to be eaten. Sad they looked so promising other than the to rare meat. They were on the special menu I would have thought meat was prepared ahead of time, marinated and slow cook ed. The meal was $15.95 so I figured it wasn't a huge loss. Hopefully they take those of the menu or prepare differently for future orders. Fun evening, easy getting an uber out of property. Better luck next time with menu items!

After a evening of shopping, it was time to wind down so considering the options we chose Coleman's. Place was packed as always. The band was setting up to start to play in an hour. We got a table out back. Hankering for a shepherds pie that is one of the premier meals here. But before that we got ourselves, some spinach and artichoke dip. I haven't had this in what feels like decades. It was pretty darn good. Plenty of chips and plenty of dip. So much so, that I brought the leftovers home. So both of us did go with the shepherds pie. Both of us really enjoyed it. It came out, piping hot, with the mashed potatoes on top, covering up the beef, sauce, peas, onions, and whatever else they put in this thing! A drink to top off the evening.
