I usually got for the descent priced small plates and games that they have on the tv's. The bartenders are always friendly and happy to serve.

They only go 21+ after 9p so get there early if you're younger. They have bowling, pool, and games on the TV so there's plenty to do. Maker sure you meet their dress code on the weekends though!Upvote4Downvote
