Amanda M.July 2, 2012Beer is good and staff is friendly. Food is alright but I would try to have dinner somewhere else.
Kai ArmstrongJune 29, 2012Just Say NO to the Eavesdrop... If anyone tells you it's good they're lying.
charlie henningFebruary 20, 2013The fried pickles were really bad. The onion rings were absolutely tasteless but the bison burger was really good. I won't be back here
This place sucks, menu is bogus. Been a few times and always out of what's on menu.
Zack HankinsMarch 10, 2014Drinks are very good, but I waited over 45 minutes for a very average, overpriced burger. Drinks yes, food no.
Nancy RickertJanuary 19, 2014Demand a drink or you won't get served. Pretentious bartenders. We left after being ignored.
Jennifer Ray WoodOctober 13, 2013Continuing: the staff was rude and done with us after that! Sad! Bad impression!
Jeremey BarrettSeptember 21, 2014Rude and useless host staff at the back (river walk) door. Floor was wet. Avoid.
Robert FrazierNovember 27, 2011If you want a drink don't come here. The service is rude and ignores you.
Guadalupe OliverosJuly 24, 2013Si no puedes tomar bebidas alcohólicas pide el strawberry collins, la hamburguesa bbq esta de-li-ció-sa!! Buen servicio :)!!
Jonathan De la TorreJuly 5, 2022Una barra antigua con buena selección de cerveza y muchos licores para elegir

"Small place that doesn't get too crazy. Great bar, good Thai next door if you want it. Get the classic daiquiri for a great, clean drink."
