    Don't let this place fool you just because it's a bar. The food is amazing! Great ambience and music. Highly recommended. Try the pulled pork sliders and die a blissful death. :D

    This place has three reasons to come to: Beer, the wheel of shots, and a gigantic picture of Patrick Swayze. If you decide to do the wheel of shots, pray to God you don't wind up on the "Crack Baby".

    $4 Draft beers and house drinks during happy hour! A-ma-zing bar food. Have the sliders (pulled pork, beef or shrimp) and ask for tater tots instead of fries. Everything is VERY good. 😍

    Great bar, feels like you're at the local bar in any-town USA. Staff is fun, so is the menu. Drinks aren't overpriced. Def a cool spot to chill.

    I will rank the burger amongst the best of New York burgers. Try The Monster, it's loaded with 3 cheese and jalapeños, awesome combination indeed!

    Great Mac n cheese and a solid happy hour price-wise (5 dollar well drinks!) but with pretty mediocre beer choices.

    Finally a fun place in the neighborhood. Loud music and fun bartenders unlike the usual midtown irish bars. Even saw a girl dancing on the bar last week.
