🍹 Drinks That Wow From the moment the drinks hit the table, it was clear this was going to be a memorable meal. The cocktails were both vibrant and refreshing

🍟 Appetizers to Devour

The Truffle Fries are addictively crispy, dusted with parmesan and fresh herbs, perfectly golden and satisfying, they're a must-order.

The Crispy Chicken Wings, dressed in a sticky, glossy sauce, deliver both visual appeal and deep flavor. Paired with slaw and dipping sauce, they’re great for sharing—but you’ll want to keep them all to yourself.

🍕 Flatbread Worth Fighting Over

The star of the table might just be the flatbread pizza— loaded with juicy chicken, fresh tomatoes, crumbled cheese, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze over melted mozzarella and pesto. A winning combination of crispy crust and fresh toppings.

🍺 Great Pairings

The golden beer is the perfect companion to the savory dishes—cold, frothy, and refreshing, it's ideal alongside fries, wings, or a flatbread.

🌟 Five-Star Service! 🌟 I had the pleasure of being served by ALEX, and I can confidently say he is one of the best servers I've ever encountered. From the moment we sat down, he was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, offered helpful recommendations, and ensured every part of our dining experience was smooth and...

Very dark. Somehow it has a lot of windows… and still very dark. Weird space, with tables on top of the people sitting at the bar. The whole vibe is off putting to me personally. Which is obviously subjective. Maybe sit outside? Staff is fine, maybe a bit low on the personality side. Very abrupt, or quick to run off. Again, fine.

The real deal breaker is the cost. But not sure this is reality when it comes to drinking anything… Makers is barely above modest brand bottles. I paid over 40 dollars, for 4 ounces of Makers Mark 46. lol. Cmon. The bottle is $38. There are 25 ish ounces in that 750ml bottle. They’re trying to sell it for $250? TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY dollars for a sub $40 bottle. And it was neat. An up charge, to do nothing to it. Not even ice. Based off this alone, I’ll never be back. Going forward, at any other bar now, I’ll have to ask ahead of time what the cost is for mid level booze… because this is clearly absurd.

About the reply I think anyone can expect from this place. I’ve ordered countless neat bourbons (from anywhere else) and have never been charged more for neat. Ever. Anywhere. If that’s your jam, and you’re still happy to pay FIFTEEN dollars for liquid poured from a bottle that you can buy for $38 dollars full retail… then great. Also nice that they ignore the tip I guess. Feel a little douchey tipping only a buck on a 40 dollar tab, so I don’t. Maybe that’s on me. And while you’re asking the clouds to go away, maybe also ask what a lightbulb is. We can literally compare Stillery’s online menu prices any time we want. They’re right next door. I’m not trying to champion them, I don’t care if anyone goes there or here or anywhere else… but it’s direct competition that I assume 13 North just decides to ignore? The prices are clearly listed there too, so at least I don’t get sticker shock at the end. It’s also curious to me that the first two ounces are 7.50 each… the third bonus ounce is only 2.50. Apparently the sixth ounce is also 2.50. Neat pricing model that I’m sure...

I see what they're trying to do. The remodel was decent, was never a fan of the atmosphere in Ale House so this was a nice refresh for what it is. Here's the issue. Walking in, we sat at the bar for a light dinner and cocktails. We weren't greeted for a while, there was one bartender also waiting high tops who eventually emerged. No acknowledgement for a while. She proceeded to help tables which was fine but we had to wait for menus and when finally given, one she had already helped others who arrived after us. One menu was crusted with quite a bit of food which was off putting. The drinks were quite mediocre from the menu selections once we got them. The old fashioned sounded like a riff on a traditional southern one, it was far too sweet. The other drink should have had a prosecco or some sort of fizzy champagne and it was flat. Like old bubble, no life, decent flavor just flat fizz. Husband liked the wings but they truly were quite greasy but had good flavor. $12 or so for 6, thays fine I suppose but they weren't amazing. Ceasar salad- listen, I know a great one and anchovies are traditional and that's great, however it was so wildly fishy and wilted I couldn't stomach it. It smelled and was just truly off putting. The French onion was a straight salt lick. It tasted like undiluted concentrated better than bullion. For 85 dollars, it just wasn't it. I've never felt sick after a restaurant and immediately felt ill half way thru my meal into the night. Total disappointment. Atmosphere was mediocre. Service was flat. It felt uncomfortable, the staff felt uncomfortable to be around like we were bothering them for asking for ranch instead of blue cheese when they brought the incorrect order. The whole thing was just not it. We felt it the...
