I am a black women and I never in my life went to Peppers and when I asked for a drink , she refused to serve me and told me she didn't need to explain why. The cook immediately came out from the kitchen to hear our conversation and started vaping right infront of me, and he had no gloves on! She will serve her "regulars" before anyone else, so be aware that you will be sitting and waiting to be attended for several long minutes. I noticed that this unprofessional careless Karen will also serve anyone without ID them. I will for sure be giving the police a tip about this!

We stopped in to try the new Peppers Pub in town which recentlt opened…read more It was a Saturday evening and there were just a handful of people inside. Its a pub- with 2 pool tables, pinball machines; bar seating and high tops. They do have beers on tap and we had some Blue Moons with came with blood orange slices- which was cool. The meniu is slim- buirgers, fries, onion rings, chicken fingers, salads. steak tips. Its a "scrach kitchen" and everything is made fresh to order. We had chicken bites with dipping sauces, onion rings, burgers with fries. The burger pattys are thin and flat so only cooked one way. The meal was really good! Food was excellent actually. The atmasphere is kind of off putting- as there was "Lets Go Brandon" flag on display which is a political statement for sure. We will be eating other places and skip this one.

Went with the Tenderloin Tip which were perfectly prepared and accompanied with fries and green beans. The Old Fashion was good but lacking the craft ice that really makes an Old Fashion or any cocktail needing us. The noise level was high, but nothing out of the ordinary for a tavern. At the end of the day the food was awesome and the dining room had great energy.

Plenty of parking spaces on nearby streets and there is a free off street parking lot 4 or 5 buildings up. It does get busier on Thursday PM, after 9:00PM with a great "Bouncer" at the entrance, a calm and orderly decorum to the bar. He is very friendly and is in command...Excellent!!! It is more low key on Tuesday. Very nice atmosphere and a nice place to go to for good food, nice locals and Karaoke fun!

And we interacted with neighboring tables on both sides to recommend (when asked) the oysters, and when one received a drink with a big smoke bubble that created a magical flow of smoke when it burst. French inspired drinks and food were fantastic and interesting. The French 75 menu was so interesting-- choose your flavor and your bubbles. I tried two, the classic with rosé was so pretty, and the honey lavender with base level champagne was delicious. The raw oysters were to die for! Perfect little pop of acidity with other flavors delicately added and perfectly balanced. The oysters Rockefeller were also perfectly delicious. The foie gras is not something I would normally eat, but my boyfriend loves that stuff so we went with it. I enjoyed it more than he did. It was not a classic foie gras, it was smoother with a creamier texture and more buttery flavor. Eating it with the fig jam and "light as clouds" toast made it absolutely delicious! I enjoyed every minute and mouthful--would definitely seek this place out again even though I live an hour away! We enjoyed ourselves too much to take pictures!

My visit was on a saturday evening, during a night of drink specials. So, drinks was pretty cheap and of good quality. The bartender was a nice woman and the DJ was very responsive and friendly. The latin music was superbe from the live performance. Hookah was decent but, it was high priced like the middle eastern american lounges, without the variety of shisha flavors. The inside isnt spacious enough for the dancing crowd but, it have a elegant touch. I would recommend this lounge, mainly for the experience of a atmosphere different from the Urban(Pop,R&B,HipHop), Rock or country American culture.

You sit there for 30 minutes and you lose your appetite, causing the restaurant to lose money. Watched multiple people walk in and directly back out even with ample bar space. The food is some of the best I've had at the chain. Love the wings, feta dip, general tsos chicken, and burgers! Drinks and friendly conversation with bartenders is amazing! If you don't make a reservation, don't bother sitting anywhere but the bar. They have 6 hostesses on a given night and not a single one will greet you or act professional. Can't get an accurate wait time aside from "X number of people ahead of you". No communication that upper and lower level seating waits are different. At the end of the day, come here for the bar and decent food. Don't expect air conditioning or appropriate management.
