July 31 · Fellow HeadzVisited after a long night.. didn't get any food, just a few drinks with friends. Enjoyed really good drinks and some good music. Overall, vibe was nice....
July 02 · Jeff OrtizReally good spot for brunch. Great music and food! Highly recommended 👌
April 27 · Erika RodriguezGreat, easy spot to grab a burger and beer or hang with friends.I went a weeknight after 10 and it was pretty empty which I appreciated,The music is a little loud.Staff is friendly.Food slightly above your average pub, and prices are great!
March 06 · Jakob W. PlummerMe and my bf come here legit every other week😭 We’ve had Juan several times as our waiter and he is amazing, he’s also the manager of the spot. The food is fire & the drinks are fire, I always get the chicken sandwich with garlic mayo on the side and my bf always gets the dirty fries. The coconut margarita pitcher is so good and not too sweet, its perfect for two people. I love this spot, 10/10
