    Nice bar with good happy hour prices. Gets really crowded on Friday evenings and it can be very difficult to get a seat.

    Location is great, food is good, service is okay, deals for work groups is less than desirable, the sticky floor that instantly adheres to absolutely everything that touches it is total bollocks.

    $4 pizzas from 7 pm-10 pm. The cocktails by the jug tends to have a little too much ice so better go for individual drinks or a jug of beer.

    Nice place to unwind on summer days. Balcony overlooks the state library. I love their chili fries! But the tap-beer was a bit warm the last time I came here :(

    On the whole, overpriced tiny portioned Asian food that's just average. However, pork belly was yummy w an awesome crackling. Buuut...great bar vibe & the balcony IS pretty cool. Just drink don't eat!

    Nice place but I can taste that $4 pizza is microwaved. House beer taste like... Water... which does not goes well with pizza.
