We enjoyed the shareable plates, we weren't wowed by The Wiccan Chicken and Shrimp Tacos without shrimp, since there were little to no vegetarian options. I did enjoy their cocktails.

For drinks, I tried the lychee mojito -- it was strong but had really good flavor and was enjoyable. For an appetizer, we got the pretzels. They had a nice garlic seasoning on them and were pretty filling. These were good. For mains, we ordered the Hangover Burger, tenders, and the Bulleit Bourbon Burger. Everything was really delicious. My fries just needed a tad bit of salt, but the burger itself was cooked well (I asked for medium). The flavors were good, and the honey running down actually worked well with everything. Our waiter was also really good and provided solid service. Overall, a great experience -- will be back.

That's a lot for what it is. Also, unfortunately, there was so much fat on the brisket, that I was disgusted pulling fat out of my mouth in nearly every bite and there was a large pile of fat on my plate. I wish the brisket had less fat. For a family of 5 (3 kids on the kids menu)- expect to pay $100

We spilt the NWB Trio appetizer which was a selection of hummus,olive tapenade and corn guacamole,fresh veggies and grilled pita. Definitely big enough for 4 people. Their menu offers Mac n cheese, Gourmet Burgers,Wraps,Sandwiches and Salads. I had the NWB Burger which was an 8 oz burger topped with pork belly,cheese curds,whiskey bbq sauce on a pretzel bun. Absolutely delicious! My wife had The Gobbler (GF) with a Turkey burger,avocado,goat cheese,roasted red pepper sauce on a GF bun. She loved it and they only charged an extra 1.00 for the GF bun. Portions are huge and the food is very good. We will definitely be back!

A friend and I stopped in for a weekday lunch and there were about 15 other customers as well. This is a casual whiskey bar with your standard bar food and drinks. Service throughout was kind of inconsistent but still OK. The food came out fairly quick which is ideal for me anyway haha. We both opted for the $10 smash burger lunch special that comes with fries. For $10 this is a great deal. The burger was juicy and delicious. The sauce on the burger goes very well with it and the bun is buttery, very good. The fries? Meh, they were pretty bland and stale.

Our server was great, suggesting that if we ordered an appetizer, one Detroit style pizza would be plenty. And she was right. We had the best cheese curds I've had south of the Wisconsin border. Light breading and excellent taste. I chose the Mt Massive craft brewed IPA and it was very good. Not too fruity or hazy, a solid IPA worthy of a second round. We got the Chi-Town Detroit-style (a lot of Great Lakes attitude there) and it was wonderful! Sauce had great flavor, but the focaccia bread crust was outstanding. Light and buttery, not like a heavy deep dish crust. So good! Highly recommend. Desserts looked awesome, but we were too stuffed. Looking forward to a return visit with friends to try one (or two) of them!

Got there and learned that they had the upstairs closed (by the big TVs). They squeezed us into a much too-small table outside away from the small TVs. We asked several times for a bigger table but kept being told that someone had reserved that table. How? I wish we knew instead of waiting the hour for a bad table that won't fit our entrees. The hostess was so apologetic, but was clearly more interested in packing more people in at the tables than actually fit. I won't be recommending this place for watching matches again.
