We had the pleasure of watching a Sunday Lion's game at the bar here. The bar was completely packed but we managed to snag the last 2 seats right when the game was starting. The whole place was packed with fellow Lions fans wanting great atmosphere, great food and drinks and lively conversation. Bar staff was…
I've visited this bar three times and each time there is only one lady working. I came this Wednesday and sat there for an hour, waiting for a second drink at the bar while she serviced other people more than once, so I asked for my bill and left. Never had this problem at any other bar. I will not be returning
Great bar, nice atmosphere, excellent service, Delicious food, the Scotch Eggs are a must try!
The vibe was cool, the waitress was great and our Scotch Egg was DELICIOUS. The fried fish was not so good, seemed like a frozen triangle patty that I was not expecting from a great place like this.
This was our first time here. We came because we wanted to try the German food and they allow dogs in certain areas, but it was brunch time and they don't serve their regular menu at that time. I'm German, so I was a little disappointed. It took awhile for us to get a server and service was slow. Our appetizer came…
Great local bar that's open late. Serves good food and has great drink specials. The service was really good as well. I love that they offer a late night menu. Overall a solid place and I'd visit again when in the area.

The whole place was packed with fellow Lions fans wanting great atmosphere, great food and drinks and lively conversation. Bar staff was friendly, accommodating and working furiously during this game where the Lion's reigned supreme! We ordered several shareable bar items to enjoy along with several cocktails. All were great and we will be back!

My favorite go to for spaghetti fruti di Mari
This was our first time here. We came because we wanted to try the German food and they allow dogs in certain areas, but it was brunch time and they don't serve their regular menu at that time. I'm German, so I was a little disappointed. It took awhile for us to get a server and service was slow. Our appetizer came to share, but no plates. My burger was supposed to be smash burgers, they were thick. The "pretzel bun" was not good and the egg was overcooked. The sweet potato fries were mushy. Two others got omelets with goat cheese and they were just meh. Very little goat cheese on it. Only one person liked their meal, but he eats almost anything and he's elderly. Very apprehensive if I want to try anything on the regular menu after this experience.

Salmon Picatta with Angel Hair. 24 Dollar, und der Koch kann nicht kochen. Vielleicht sollte man die Speisekarte einfach halten. Wieder einmal war das Gericht für seine Fähigkeiten zu ambitioniert. Schizen Essen.
Always great food. Wonderful staff. And the atmosphere is fun
