I wouldn't say that anything was overly creative but sometimes you just need a solid cocktail in an elevated space. I'd rate it a 4/5.

We went for the Holiday Pop-Up and the vibes here are immaculate! We did go on a Friday night so it…read morewas busy, but honestly the service left a bit to be desired. I do understand that they serve specialty cocktails, so maybe that's why everything took so long and we were in a large group. However, when my drink was empty, the server took orders of the people sitting next to me at my table and then walked away without asking me if I wanted anything. I had to flag her down later for another drink, which I usually feel rude for doing. Overall, it just felt like the servers weren't very attentive, but the drinks were good and the people that had food liked it so I would come back!

This place looks like it hasn't changed since 1975. The overwhelming smell of air fresheners was probably hiding something but oh well. The beer prices are phenomenal. The prices on Notre Dame game days were even better. This place is the epitome of a dive bar and I enjoyed it.

Am I exactly sure what "not Red Bull" is? No Do you really ever know what you are drinking at a dive bar? Also no The shit was delicious and got the job done, what more can you ask for? If you are looking for fancy complicated drinks with umbrellas drinks or those little onion things, this isn't your spot. This place is a dive bar with a fun atmosphere and cheap drinks. You get exactly that.

Yesterday, we had a birthday party at the FIre Fighters Hall. Being my first time there, I was…read morepleasantly surprised by the cheap drink prices. I was drinking a tall absolute, madori, and orange juice which ended up being only $4. Wow!!! I'm in love. Not only were the prices cheap, but they served perch which was out of this world. The fish was moist and perfectly flaky with a salty batter which gave the fish a delicious flavor. Then, I saw the pull tabs and the fun began. Our party was at least 100 people and there was plenty of room in the hall for all of us. I enjoyed my time there.

This evening we ended up getting the Philly Cheese Steak and fries! ( all sandwiches come with house made kettle chips. Fries are a small up charge) either option is the perfect choice! We also ordered the Hot Ham and Cheese and the Grilled Chicken Sandwich! We will definitely be back again!

The service was good and the place was clean: I ordered the Pub Spuds and that's were the food started to go wrong the menu list an half order of pub spuds and a full order but the catch is the half order and the full order have completely different ingredients between them which doesn't make any sense so I ended up with some cold blue cheese covered fries and they were missing there bacon bits as well. I wish the server would have pointed that out because it's a very confusing way to list an item on the menu.
