Came on game night, but the parking fee was credit towards purchases. Happy hour is 3 to 5 so we got two appetizers the Asada fries and the duck fat pretzel bites. I didn't care for the sauce that came with the pretzel bites so got a side of the jalapeno beer cheese. I would recommend this combination. My husband gave the Asada fries a thumbs up. They were very garlicky and mild heat. Experience and atmosphere were good. We would come for happy hour again.

I love this place from the duck fat pretzel bites to their mac & cheese. Today I had the grilled chicken tacos, which were fantastic and a couple wheat beers. My wife had the mesquite chicken sandwich was she enjoyed quite well too.

The food is delicious here...a bit on the small portioned but if you order an appetizer, you should be good. I found the sitting to be very uncomfortable. They have super tall stools and chairs matched with super tall tables. I found myself trying to not fall off my chair the entire time i ate and drank. The service was great, very attentive. It has a sporty bar but modern feel to it. They have a great variety of beers, we loved it.

They have really great food and really great beer! We ordered the garlic fries and humus appetizers and were all really impressed. For the mains most of us ordered the salads but loved it! The salmon bowl was great too but honestly the chop salads were bigger portioned. Would definitely come back and explore the menu more, everyone was very happy with their order!

We went in after watching an Angel game to have a cold beer. They say us in a booth right next to the kitchen. We were bothered by some pesty gnats flying around our food and table. It was very warm inside the restaurant. Our beers weren't very cold which was a turn off. Cold beer on a hot day... Not. And it seemed as though we didn't have a set server. I wasn't impressed. First visit may be my last.
