A buddy of mine who lived in Royal oak back in the '90s turned me on to this place. When I'm in town like to stop in have a drink. But do not expect the bathrooms to be pristine.. it is a dive bar.

For a Royal Oak bar, prices are very reasonable for drinks and food. It's a fairly large place and can usually accommodate a group in the early evening, though that might be tougher as the night goes on. I normally just go with my husband and we find spots at the bar. It's a clean enough place with a decent bar food menu and good prices. In RO, that's about the best you can ask for.

I ordered the inferno burger without hesitation. It was as I recall, a nice meat patty, with the bacon, crispy onions, spicy aioli and just wonderful. I hope they will soon add it back to the menu. The draft beers and craft cocktails were tasteful. I literally called my sister and said the burger is back you can go back and try it haha! Until next time Jim Brady!

While they offer outdoor seating, we opted to eat indoors as it was a blazing 92 degrees. The seats at the tables are very comfy. Our server was new but he did a great job. If he hadn't told us, we wouldn't have guessed it. I ordered the Fried Chicken Sliders but without the peaches or jalapeños. They did give me a side of sweet pickle chips though. The sliders comes with a Baja sauce that's fairly spicy so the sweet pickles balanced the heat. I would like to try their S'mores Waffles sometime but more for a dessert. So, I'll be back!

Terrible! Terrible!…read more I went to ale Mary's beer hall this past Saturday to enjoy a nice brunch with my friends and also to try there soft served overly priced lemon drops. To start off our hosts had a very strong attitude when we came in waiting to be sat down and then tried to tell us that we didn't have a reservation when we did and I showed her even though it was the wrong number of guests I let her know we were willing to waiting she than got an attitude and got the manager for something that she could have fixed herself! Next we were sat and we were greeted with our server and we started ordering. When we acted for the price of a certain drink the server didn't know which would have been nice to know ahead of time before purchasing a $18 drink! We proceeded to order our foods and then every time we ordered something she would come back to us to let us know that they were out of pretty much a lot of things on the menu, it's not like we went late in the day we were there 11-12,. Then came the man who than was handing out the foods to the wrong people and proceeded to drop a plate of food on us and didn't say sorry or apologize he blatantly just came out with the plates and didn't even ask who's was who's which led to giving us the wrong orders. The food definitely wasn't worth the prices and we sent something back to explain how it was cold and salty and or server explained in a rude way "well this is how we make it", which is fine but she was very rude about to exchange when were just explain why with not rudeness. Even the table next to us was having. Issues with the same server the server did roll her eyes at that table when they said they needed something. If you don't like being a server just don't do it! 0/5 stars if I could.

Both mine and my ladiy's burger were ordered medium rare; what we received resembled two NHL hockey pucks, only slightly warmer on a sloppy, sogggy bun. UNEDIBLE. Gross. We showed the barkeep and she agreed to have th re-made. Fast forward another 20 minutes and they were over-cooked again. I haven't experienced this here ever before. Something seemed off. Caitlyn, the barkeep took care of our drinks for the inconvenience. Upon leaving, I saw the "cook" outside smoking a cigarette and sipping off a flask. I love this place, but if your kitchen staff can't hold it together, maybe it's time to look at other options. Thanks to Caitlyn for being as accommodating as possible. Next time I'll order something no-brainer, like some tatertots.

The shrimp were well seasoned and the quesadillas were nice and cheesy, with pico and sour cream. The birria ramen with a taco was interesting. The birria taco wasn't bad. I enjoyed the cheese and taco shell. The ramen was cooked well. It fell a bit short on flavor for me. I really think I'm not a fan of birria. It's something about the shredded meat. The portion was generous. It was a unique experience and I enjoyed trying something new. The margaritas were great and full of flavor and tequila. I enjoyed these more than the food. Overall a good experience. It's a bit pricey, but it's in an area full of bars, restaurants and boutiques. A cute artsy and cool area. Parking can be challenging. I would definitely go back for cocktails.
