    Super cool gastropub worth checking out if you’re in old town. I haven’t tried any of the food but they seem to have good drink deals and sometimes there’s live music outside. Staff was welcoming and attentive. Love the busy-ness and decor, great vibes for a local hang out spot.

    Delicious everything! Indoor and small outdoor seating with live music outside on most days. We visited on a Monday for happy hour, and they had a Monday madness special where all appetizers were half priced, pretty much half price on liquor drinks and specials on the beer. It's not a special menu, with smaller plates like a lot of places like to do for happy hour, no, order from the regular menu and the cost is subtracted on your receipt (see photo). Food was great, lots of good choices, with a unique twist to traditional bar food. Services was wonderful as well.

    Love this place. I stop by when I walk my pooch. Dog friendly. Awesome half bottle off wine hours on Wednesday. Great food, great ambiance. In the alley you just might feel like like you are in Europe.

    Sooo… as an introvert female sports fan, you don’t find many places you can claim as your own. I LOVE THIS PLACE, but was holding off on posting a review because I hate crowds. Nonetheless, if you’re a chill person who loves excellence, this is where you belong. Outstanding in every sense of the word. A mashup of LA culture and undeniable hospitality from the moment you walk in, to the moment you walk out. Please take advantage of this hidden treasure.

    Great Saturday date night experience. There was a live band. The location is tucked away in an alley and the food was delicious. I ordered the bacon. Mac and cheese, braised ribs and pastrami sandwich. I will return and can't wait to try the fish tacos that I kept seeing and smelling!

    I wanted to love this place but I left feeling like I’d return but only if others in my group wanted to. We sat outside across from the restaurant. The tables were too close to one another. The service was very friendly but a bit slow. We had crispy brussel sprouts as an appetizer and they were fine but nothing special. We both ordered burgers, one with a turkey patty and one regular beef. They were also fine but nothing special. Particularly for the price. The drink list was extensive. Altogether we had a good time with the live music and ambience but the food was only “meh”.

    Nice spot with a good bar and outdoor seating. The food is good but small portions. Good mix of special drinks from the bar.

    The food was great. The service was good. The prices where reasonable. The music was the best. I go there quite often with friends they can be a little slow at times I guess because of Covid. They have special all the time.

    I don’t usually post less than good reviews but for the money, not really impressed. Not very busy evening, took a while to get our waters (usually don’t drink the water but pregnant wife needs it 😂) and even longer to get drinks. Had to ask twice for second beer. Again, nothing too horrible just for the money, should be pretty easy to bring second beer. Food orders were slightly wrong. (Wanted salad dressing on the side, and it came mixed in the salad). My fish tacos, not really impressed. Good amount of fish but literally a couple pieces of fish with some cole slaw on top. Nothing special. Tasted good and good flavor, just kind of boring for fish tacos. Had a good time, just probably won’t go back. Food a little boring, amount of time spent waiting on a “less than busy” night, not impressed.

  • 3/5 Kathy Van H. 1 year ago on Google
    This place was ... Strange. It lacked any real identity, throwing too many things together and creating a very confusing atmosphere. The zombie art on the walls clashed with the big tvs playing baseball which clashed with the hipster tables and so on. We could have gotten past that if the food had been good, but it was just okay. Hubby ordered iced tea and got green tea which he was not expecting. His pasta was good, if a bit sweet. My short rib was a disappointment though. The sauce was good and the risotto was delicious, but the actual short rib was tough and dry and didnt have much flavor. Service was friendly All in all, not likely to return.

    This place was amazing very food food loved it. The only thing I would not recommend would be the spicy calamari. It had this nasty fish smell and taste too it. Other than that the food and the service is amazing definitely coming back. The food does look as amazing as the pictures.

    Great atmosphere, very comfortable outdoor seating with heating even on a chilly night. The menu was playful and had some quirky item descriptions. Waiting staff was nice and attentive. Food was fantastic and there was so much variety there really is something for everyone.

    2hr bottomless mimosas but you have to order food to get it. The breakfast/brunch menu is so good. I always get the chilaquiles so bomb! Try to make reservations before going. There's always a line and the outside seating is small

  • 4/5 Susanna S. 1 year ago on Google
    First time in this gastropub. They have a decent selection of food and drinks. The place has a good vibe and has outside seating. I appreciated the live music and nice drinks. We also liked our bleu wings and spicy calamari appetizers. We did not do so well with the mains. Both the basil mignon morsels and braised ribs are overly salty. My potato wrapped snapper came dripping in oil. I had to remove the fried potato shell to get to the fish. We will probably come back but just for the drinks and entertainment.

    Really fun bar that plays into a cool dark religious theme. The art in there is striking, and I spent 15 minutes before my friends arrived staring at it. Big. Had the Nectar of the Gods drink, which was very sour, very sweet, and the burger with a fried egg. The burger too bun was very bready. The brownie at the end was good!

  • 5/5 Jeremy R. 10 months ago on Google
    My buddy and I had come in later in the night while the live music was playing, which was great. From Knoxville so I wanted to check the bar scene out. Our server/host Dana was amazing, easily one of the hardest workers I’ve seen in a while. Drinks stayed filled, and food came out at a great rate. Great service, damn good food, and dope atmosphere. Definitely will be back when I’m back in town!

    I love this place! Traditional brunch items at very reasonable prices. My go-to is the confused burrito with parmesan fries. Their bottomless mimosas are only $18 with an entree purchase. There is a parking structure 2 min away behind Miniso. It’s better to make reservations if you’re coming on a weekend, Everyone that works here is super friendly!

    Fantastic Atmosphere with live jazz with different specials almost nightly....I love the Shepherd's 🥧 Pie....

    Amazing food, atmosphere, and stand out service. Short rib tacos were recommended and thoroughly enjoyed.
