Great place to catch a game and have a cold one. Staff is friendly. Even when they're busy they still take the time to check on you. They accommodate to your needs. Pizza was tasty. Only complaint, for all meat pizza you expect a little more topping. Other than that, a pretty solid pizza. The vibe is friendly, definitely a good sports bar. Stop by if you haven't.
Came in for a few drinks on St Patrick's Day. It was busy. Service was good. Ambiance was on point for a typical place like this. I've been here many times throughout the years and they never disappoint.
Ordered buffalo wings, an espresso martini, and an old fashion Buffalo wings 9/10 Pretty good! Large wings An order comes with 7 pieces both flats and drums We got bone in with buffalo sauce The sauce isn't spicy at first but gets spicier as you keep eating Comes with 2 sides of ranch and 2 celery sticks What was surprising is that the wings still had a crunch when you bite into them even though they're drowned in sauce which i appreciated. Espresso martini 9/10 It was light in the coffee, mixed well, smooth and you could still taste the alcohol Old fashion 7/10 It was pretty bitter Service was quick we were seated in less than 4 min and our drinks and food came out quickly Ambiance is pretty casual here, they have a pretty small menu when it comes to food. More of a bar atmosphere.
The pizza was excellent. We ordered a pepperoni and the public house combo. Both were fantastic. My little loved the pepperoni pizza. They brought out a cute kids water cup for her too. They had happy hour until 6 and the pizzas were half off! The restaurant has more of a bar vibe. All the TVs were playing sports and there was music playing. Overall great experience and I would return again.
The food was good and the server was helpful. We were there to watch the football game so great time with others there to enjoy as well. You can even hear the game in the restroom! Great vibe for watching sports.
The Bavarian pretzel is a great appetizer, boasting a perfectly golden-brown crust with a soft, chewy interior, served with a cheesy pimento and a mustard dip that complements its salty flavor. The fish and chips impress with crispy, beer-battered fish that flaked easily accompanied by criss-cut fries and a tangy tartar sauce, making for a satisfying classic. Meanwhile, the BBQ chicken pizza balances sweet and smoky flavors, featuring tender pieces of chicken atop a well-cooked crust with mild spicy BBQ sauce and a medley of toppings that provide a delightful contrast in texture and taste. Overall, each dish was satisfying. I like the entire vibe of the place with pretty eclectic music playing and a lot of TV's around the restaurant. Our server could have been a little more attentive but all were very pleasant and helpful when you needed someone.
Great place for happy hour! Value 10/10 - 1/2 price pizzas about $8-10 after the discount Food 7.5/10 - my parents shared a burger and the meat was dry, the skinny fries are good. The HH pizzas are good, the crust is thin, crispy and chewy. The HH wings sweet chili is better than the buffalo wings. The buffalo wings were too salty. The avocado egg rolls were just average. Service 8/10 - Server was nice, but it took a while to get refills and my check Ambiance - 8/10 - it's pretty dark inside, so my aging dad had a hard time seeing.
Rating 4.2 Great spot to watch the game and hang out downtown. Variety of food options, I went with the Famous Brandy Chicken wings...and I will say they looked great and crunchy. The taste aka flavor was lacking big time. Each bite I took, I was hoping for some seasoning, flavor, taste, but did not get it. Though, the crispyness and crunch was undeniably delicious, the wings lacked flavor. Old Fashion drinks was spot on sith the big ice cube..iykyk
This is a great spot for a chill afternoon and a couple drinks with friends. Bartenders are super friendly and check in regularly without being overwhelming. Food is good! My favorite is the prosciutto pizza, which also has arugula, caramelized onions, mushrooms, and truffle oil! The truffle oil makes it, if you ask me. Perfect with beer or glass of red. If you're in the area for business or pleasure and need a place to hang, I highly recommend this one!
