I'm sure it's fantastic for locals who are looking for your run-of-the-mill basic beer options, but as visitors we were hoping for some more authentic local NY beer options. As far as food, we got the Lemon Garlic Pepper and the Honey BBQ wings with Waffle Fries, but the Honey BBQ wings were the only one of those items that we really enjoyed and honestly the only reason I consider giving the food any stars at all. Staff was friendly, everything was pretty affordable, and it has a nice atmosphere. If you're hungry for wings and thirsty for any kind of beer it's an alright choice - Bit
