The atmosphere, holy shit. This place is amazing. Great food, great drinks (Old Fashioned, yes!), and you can smoke. I highly recommend going here. Going back for sure.

Hamburgers are delicious. Chargrilled taste on toast with very crisp and fresh tomatoes. Served with mayo, mustard and ketchup on the side and potato skin fries. Yum yum, new fav there.

The drinks are good, and the food has definitely improved. They hired a chef to work on the menu and provide more creative offerings.

Great place and great staff. Cool vibe and atmosphere. Unique place and a must for any visitor. Reserve the back room for parties. Bands are perfect for the place. Enjoy!

Cheese & Sausage platter & the White Cheddar Mac are both tasty. I've heard burgers are great too. The bartenders (Jeannette, Jamie & Colin) here will take awesome care of you; return favor.

No secret password needed to enter this speakeasy! Great for a late weekend brunch if you decide to sleep in after a long night on Beale St.

weird red light in the bathroom makes you think you have developed super strength vision allowing you to see every flaw on your pasty face.
