Having spent over forty years in the hospitality industry as a professional bartender and owner operator. My expectations are high and understand the challenges of running a successful business. After several visits I noticed that I was charged twice on my debit card, when I called to talk to Manager the young man was Short and abruptly hung up on me. I called back I couldn't believe how nasty he was telling me that it would take about a week for my money to be refunded. It took a while for me to go back. I liked having a tavern so close and really liked their Nachos. I stop for their Nachos, I've had their Nachos quite a few times and they were always the same, until my last visit. I've had Nachos many times. This time they were very salty more than being seasoned it was like they Intentionally dumped salt on them. When I complained to the bartender she said like its no big deal every cook makes them different, which i thought was ridiculous. Making the point that they had ruined the dish and stress to them-not to season them. I think in the future I stick with my happy place Old Town Pub on Allen Boulevard...

It has possibly become one of my top 5 favorite burgers of all time. I didn’t have to add anything to it. My friends and I also shared some chicken tenders… which I was really impressed with. They...
Read moreI came in as the first stop on my birthday , highly recommend by a friend but I was super disappointed in the atmosphere. it was pretty empty when we arrived, the first bartender we had was rude slammed my drink on the counter hard enough it spilled on me and then within 10 minutes, the bar was packed with what I assume were regulars. Everyone stared at us funny throughout our stay and I dropped a couple pool balls on the floor and someone yelled at us to get out. Second bartender was cool but the atmosphere from the first bartender and the regulars really turned me off. We left quickly after having two drinks each and one game of pool. Couldn’t have been there more than 45 minutes before we had all had enough of the looks. We weren’t even being loud or anything so I’m not really sure what the...
