The menu is on…read morethe smaller side, but everything I've tried has been solid -- the fried chicken sandwich especially stands out. The drink selection is a highlight too; good variety across beers and seltzer options that keeps things interesting no matter what mood you're in. Last night was the one time things felt a little off -- the margarita came across watered down, and our waitress seemed to be rushing us through the meal. But that's been the exception, not the rule. Every other visit the service has been warm and attentive. One off night doesn't undo a track record of good experiences, and I'll definitely be back.

Chips & queso was fine but kinda cold unfortunately. I liked the fried chicken sandwich, I enjoyed how crispy it was. Service was eh, I felt like it took foreverrrrr for us to get food, drinks & the check at the end. She was nice but also seemed like she didn't really like her job. Not sure if I'd be back to this place.

Beer - ever changing with a great variety! Water - in a cup and potable. Service - friendly and fairly knowledgeable. Ambiance... dark, can be quiet or loud depending on who is there. A little old school, definitely not modern. But clean enough and gets the job done!

We LOVE this bar!…read more The location seems a simple strip mall location. Inside, the decor is amazing, saturating the lounge with rock paraphernalia. Seating at the bar and at tables is great. Very comfortable. Parking is alright. Most will park across from the location. It's not highly trafficked, so there are little worries there. The service is great. The staff are all talented bartenders, and the drinks are excellent. While not cheap, the prices are reasonable for the quality you get. All this, and there are remnants from their Drastic Plastic days, shown and for sale. Also a pinball machine is available for play. I hope this location persists, as I greatly enjoy our visits there.

The vibes are immaculate here!

The service is professional and well-executed. Budget extra money when you go here so that you can take home some records too. I love the chance to buy vinyl, and they have a great selection!

We were told by our Uber driver that we had to visit the Crescent Moon Ale House for their version…read moreof the Reuben. We were being driven to the Orleans Room for their Reuben, which was excellent by the way. I can't say the same for the Crescent Moon sandwich. Crescent Moon is actually just kitty corner of the Orleans Room, so the walk was short. It is basically a dive which is fine, we expected that by the Uber driver's comments. The Deep Fried Pickles were excellent. The three ciders that our daughter sampled were not pleasing to her, so she had a cocktail. I had a Sierra Nevada Pilsner, which was fine. But the Reubens, and why we came, were awful. Our daughter, said it best when the sandwich had a mayonnaise texture. I realized the 1000 dressing that was served on the Reuben was too heavy of mayo. The presentation was also terrible. Open them up so we can see the inside of the sandwich, and both slices of the bread were broken...as you can see on the pics. We packaged the sandwiches to go as were were planning to be on a plane the next day back to Oregon. We intentionally left them at the table. They were that bad. Zoe was a pleasant BT/Server who was available whenever we needed her. But food is why we went there, and it was not good.

First impressions? Huge, bright dining room! Almost distractingly so. But let's be honest--I didn't…read morecome to Backlot Taphouse for the square footage. I came for the Detroit-style pizza, easily the most underrated pizza style there is. If you know, you know. I ordered The Cadillac: cream cheese, cherry peppers, hot honey. On paper, it's chaos. In practice? A beautifully thought-out balance of sweet and spicy. Rich without being heavy, heat without going overboard. Someone in that kitchen gets it. And for a moment, it's flirting with greatness. Almost a perfectly executed Detroit pie... until the crust. That signature Detroit crisp--the caramelized, fried-edge crunch--is just a little undercooked. Not bad, but quickly soggy. Just missing that final snap that makes this style elite. Still, credit where it's due. This is a valiant effort, and not an easy style to pull off outside its home turf. I see you, Omaha. You're closer than you think!
