Best rooftop bar in the area. Bartenders are the best too!
All their beers are off the monkey wrench - have the "choking da monkey"
Kushal BereraMay 13, 2016Nothing good. Terrible service and the food was horrible. The service was the worst. The food attendants looked miserable being there and serving food. I would not recommend, despite a great location
India CMarch 31, 2014Crappy at takeout orders. I called ahead and ordered wings for pickup - it took 40 minutes for them to fill the order, when they told me it would only be 15! Wings were good, but not 40 minutes good
They also deliver growlers until 10 @ night .. 64oz of deliciousness...

Ric KinonMarch 14, 2011Girl sitting at the top of the stairs is beautiful! Looks like a little fairy!
Pbr is an unadvertised deal. If I recall correctly it's $2.75. Nothing beats the rooftop in the warm weather
Richard DresslerJuly 6, 2013Drinks took way too long, ice was melted by the time we got them and me and my friends couldn't even taste the alcohol in them..This was our first time here and we won't be coming back.
Their beer list is not up to date with tap info. Spicy Popcorn is awesome!- I'm sorry that providing service is such a task. I thought that's what customer service was about.
Regina is the best bartender there. Always nice to talk to.
Randolph KahleAugust 13, 2013Horrible service. At the bar for fifteen minutes before being approached. Got the tap list and never was asked about my choice. Left and went to the Lighthorse Tavern.
Not a good stop for nye starters. I set up the dj equipment and they wouldn't let us in on the drink special. Rules and regulations... Blah blah blah
GirardJune 10, 2010Avoid the bloody mary here at all costs. It's a glass of water with a hint of tomato juice and celery powder.
