Reviews
I walked in on a Monday afternoon and was a very soothing vibe. Mild music playing around with a less than average crowd density since it was afternoon. The music picks up after evening and gets really busy. I tried the cocktails and chicken cheese naachos. The food was great and so were the cocktails to say the least.
Alex took good care of me and was super attentive and loving, kudos to her!
Would definitely visit again.
Food was decent. Chili fries was the best thing out of the dishes, Oyster is definitely worth it, slider was good, but the truffle fried was a let down. Fries was pretty soggy. What made it worth it was the drinks and the happy hour
Cool place with great food. $1 oysters all day is a great place to get your fix of oysters. Mac and cheese bites are good too. Service was fast. A good place to stop by after work.
We sat by the bar on a weeknight and the service from the bartender was speedy! The price for the beers and cocktails were very cheap/affordable. They have $1 oysters every day!! The oysters are tiny and tasted ok. The inside is dim and can get loud depending on the crowd.
Happy hour oysters for a dollar each, were awesome. Strong IPA’s will make you comfortably loopy. Recommended
Visited for after hour drinks with my sister. We ordered a Grumpy Old Man and a Berry Margarita. We only ordered the Berry Margarita because the Grumpy Old Man was strong as HELL. You ever sipped a drink and knew it was going to be straight liquor and you just hold it in your mouth prepping yourself to swallow it? Yeah, that's what we did until after awhile we just asked for a drink switch ....which also wasn't that great.
The Berry Margarita was cool,.nothing special. It felt like we kept drinking and the drink wasn't budging. We love us some oysters and they're only $1 all day and they were pretty good, I'd give them 7.78/10, wasn't bad but wasn't the greatest we've had either.
If you wanna hear music from 2015 and prior and live your nostalgia, come and visit.
Nice ambiance! Nice place with inside and outside seating.
They do have special $1 oysters all day every day.
Huge selection of draft fresh beers And full bar with a lot of appetizers
The serve draft beer on frozen glasses so I definitely will be back again and again
Nice music, friendly bartenders and staff!
Great place to have few drinks and Hang out
The bar is a swirling, wonderful social machine. The bartenders (looking specifically at Crystal) are welcoming, hilarious, and excellent. The ambiance is perfect. The music is not too loud or too quiet. The drinks are cheap, the Guinness is cold, the people are engaging. What more could you want?
