Bar and grill Beer garden Live music bar

😐 Location is great. Food was great. Drinks were good. Service was strange and not so good. A few things about the service. -Took the bartender at least 5 minutes to acknowledge us while we were leaning over the bar trying to get his attention. He was pouring 2 draft beers and made contact with both... People often mention service, night, great,

    Incredibly bad service. Don't know where to start. Food was awful. Service was awful. Coffee was very bad. Sticky floors obviously not cleaned from night before toilets disgusting.... no stars if that was possible.

    Disgraceful, kicked out for dancing on the dance flooor with a drink. Security unreasonable and picking out male individuals amongst a hens do's/females and kicking them out for no reason when asked. Please talk to your security and your guidelines on kicking people out.

    Location is great. Food was great. Drinks were good. Service was strange and not so good. A few things about the service. -Took the bartender at least 5 minutes to acknowledge us while we were leaning over the bar trying to get his attention. He was pouring 2 draft beers and made contact with both my wife and myself multiple times. However, when he did finally take our order he was very pleasant. -We decided to stay for some food and took a table. The server for our table was very slow to help us and seemed very annoyed when ever we asked for anything. Before long he ended up sending us to another section because we wanted a full meal. -The final service issue we had was later in the night. We left another bar after having a few drinks and were looking to buy a bottle of water somewhere and couldn't find any convenience stores to pick one up so we walked up and before we could say anything the bouncer said to us that we couldn't come in due to our shoes. It was now a club and we had on flip flops. We let her know that we were not planning on staying and just wanted some water to go. Ignoring our question, she continues on about how we cannot go in. Whatever, we left. The odd thing about it was that there was not a single customer in at the time the bouncer refused us entry. Personally i think a paying customer is better than none, but hey I guess that's just me.

    Very friendly staff good atmosphere. I was disappointed with the meal. In my opinion it wasn’t a good value for $23. Thanks

    Fast and friendly service despite being crazy busy on a Saturday night, food was okay and it might have helped if the music was a tad softer, we could barely hear ourselves speak at the table

    Too loud to converse with my amigos yet we weren't turnt up enough to sing along to Ride Sally Ride. Floors were sticky but could be stickier.

  • 2/5 Alex R. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place but for the price of the beer the beer could have been a little colder

  • 5/5 Evie P. 3 years ago on Google
    Very cool and casual bar. The live band was fantastic and the drinks are well priced.

    Good food and friendly, quick service

  • 1/5 Mike A. 2 years ago on Google
    Every time I go into this bar, I get driven out by the volume and the overdrive of the music. They have a great beer list and I’d love to try it, but the vibe is all wrong - a club they ain’t!

    Very spacious. Dinner next door. Luvly place.

    The burger was quite bad, and overall service a bit clumsy.
