    Have been here for consecutive weekends; their outdoor space is complete with adequate seating and lighting as well as TVs to bring back a little bit of normalcy to relax and watch some sports. When you come, look for Melanie! She was our waitress both times and has been an angel. Drinks are nice and strong. Cash only! Great lil neighborhood bar with some yummy seasonal bar drinks

    Very casual neighborhood bar. The drinks are reasonably priced. They have a pool table and other bar games. This place is cash only but they have an ATM right inside.

    Went here with a friend to watch the first NFL game of the season and it was a great atmosphere! There were a couple of Detroit fans at the bar so their energy definitely kept spirits high! The bartenders are nice and attentive. Looking forward to watching more games here this season.

    No food but Roma across the street is a great option for the beers and football at Phil Hughes. Love coming here in the fall, tons of outdoor seating, all the TVs outside have the games, and great beers on tap! Wonderful UES staple

    This place dosent serve food but there's a pizza shop across the street and you can bring it in to eat. Bartender was fast with drinks. It is also cash only but they have an ATM inside, fee is 2$ so not too bad. Wednesday is trivia night and it gets full but its fun.

    Love our neighborhood pub! Always welcomed with great smiles and excellent service! They show any sports channels you request. You can order food from any of the local places but they sell real good Irish potato chips as well! Our favorite bartenders (in no particular order): Adi, Brian, James, Kelsey, Ken. And a special mention to Manny!

    Terrible customer service. Reserved a space for a small party only to be told another party had a reservation for the whole bar an hour into our party & we had to move. This, despite my confirming multiple times with the manager. Definitely never going back.

    Great neighborhood bar. Friendly staff and they stay on top of everything. They have a pool table if you play. Great draft list and full liquor bar. Love the regulars and all the people!

  • 5/5 Cameron L. 2 years ago on Google
    Good prices, great atmosphere, super friendly staff. great neighborhood bar.

  • 4/5 L S. 2 years ago on Google
    Definitely UES. Filled with the people that live around here and their newly adult offspring. They have lots of tvs inside and outside, so that’s something. No credit cards (atm inside), no food (but you can bring some). Tragically boring imo but that has nothing to do with the business. What they do, they do well.

  • 5/5 Mariel S. 1 year ago on Google
    TVs outside are a great place to watch sports - and I love that you can bring your own food!

  • 5/5 Christopher L. 9 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Great neighborhood spot with pool, darts and good people. Wednesday trivia gets packed so get there 20 minutes early if you want a chance at a table! Can bring your own food - pizza across the street.

    Customer service was terrible, bartender was barely behind counter and kept disappearing outside. Despite giving the bartender generous tips, Bar tender rudely shushed us during a game of pool for cheering. The bartender began to remove our personal belongings without asking just to make room for his regulars who were probably disturbed by the “noise”. Totally unprofessional, The cocktails were poorly mixed, the beer is flat and wheres the music??? The bar seems like a place you come to wallow in depression. If you need a good place to come read your divorce papers go there! Cheers.

    A cash only location, with a what appears to be an 8' pool table. Seating was nice as was staff.
