The Shake Down...110 ounces of pure milkshake heaven. Order it & you will make new friends!
Juliana KongFebruary 13, 2012
Get ready to drink a lot of water or beer cause they must pour tons of salt all over their food. Lots of beers though.
AnnieSeptember 19, 2016
Decided to try the chorizo on the nachos-and so glad I did!
Michael AnthonyOctober 10, 2016
Neighborhood spot. Great beer selection but not the best food.

Brown noser= dark chocolate infused makers mark, patron citronage, kahlua, sweet vermouth, demarera syrup
Andrew JohnsonMarch 18, 2012
Pour your own has a lot less novelty than you'd think. Holographic keyboards? Didn't see any. Also a little douchey.
Lindsay WasheleskiFebruary 24, 2013
Burnt end brisket Mac n chz
Megha GhildiyalNovember 26, 2012
Hand cut fries and the accompanying dips are simply delicious
Jennifer StraubMarch 21, 2012
The table taps are pretty cool, but this place is always packed. Like, can't-move-can't-hear packed.
Deanna M.August 16, 2013
Salads are to die for, hearty portion sizes

Gordon WrightDecember 5, 2014
Lots of bro types here. It's a scene designed for the suburban crowd.

Mussels were very good!
Sheila ChhimJuly 22, 2012
I didn't eat the food. I just went for the music and the dancing. I realized that if you're a not tall, white and busty girl, the bouncers will make you wait outside for an hour.
Marco TillmannDecember 31, 2012
Impressive beer selection and friendly staff.
Carly KleinOctober 19, 2016
Salad with chicken avocado and goat cheese

The burgers are amazing! :-)

The Waygu Brisket Dip sandwich is so delicious! The bread is soft and beef is extremely tender. Try it with the Cauliflower Mash, a nice compliment.

So fun. Get here early for a seat, even on a Wednesday.

Go for the taps at the tables and a very impressive beer list
Jon SvenssonMay 23, 2013
Misto Mussels are awesome!

Their gimlets are extra sour. Careful.
