It was flavourful- the sauce, kimchi, marinated cucumbers and bacon jam complimented one another.

Service is friendly and fast and the space is lively without being overwhelming. Their food menu isn't the best if you have dietary limitations but there are still a couple vegetarian and gluten-friendly options. I had their caprese salad which was served deconstructed with microgreens and 2 different types of tomatoes. You can never go wrong with bocconcini cheese! As for drinks, they have some great happy hour specials and the house red wine was surprisingly drinkable. They also have an extensive cocktail list with their twists on the classics and a formidable whisky collection.

Went last Saturday to catch a friend's band play, and I'm so happy I did! It was a gorgeous day-- perfect for a patio sit, and lots of folks were all there for the same purpose, so it was super relaxed and chill. Our server, Mandy, was unrufflable and funny. The perfect server. The manager, David, is really great. Friendly and super welcoming, considering I'd only been once before. I noticed that he was attempting to change out the sandwich board for the band, so asked if I could help (ex art major, with a lot of typography experience). He was happy to let me. So that was fun. :) I had a couple beers and the Italian sausage flatbread pizza. OMG! SO good! And the prices were perfectly respectable. Definitely planning to make this place a regular stop on my relaxing/drinking/socializing rounds now.

They had live music and a somewhat secluded patio, which made it a pleasant place to sit down and have a couple of drinks and enjoy the atmosphere. Our server was friendly and helpful and fast considering how busy it was outside (we took the last table) Drink menu was thorough with a lot of different beers on tap and in bottle. Food was okay. There isn't a huge selection, so this makes it difficult if you have a large party with varying tastes. I found the food price point a little high considering the portions. I had the onion grilled cheese. This was good, but I was hoping for more of stronger onion flavour. My husband had the featured grilled cheese which he liked. It came with tater tots which were fine but not standoutish. I had my sandwich with the fennel salad which was fresh, clean and lemony. Honestly, if we decide to go here again, I will just get a large salad of this. Well worth the trip if you want a great place to listen to music.

Parking was easy, and the outdoor patio was fantastic, it's nicely enclosed with plenty of picnic tables, making it a great place to relax. The service was excellent, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. They also have a great beer selection. The menu was the perfect size, not too overwhelming, but with lots of tempting options. I ordered the feature sandwich, and my partner had the Big Mac Grilled Cheese. Both were delicious! The inside of the pub was really cute too. It happened to be trivia night, and the indoor seating was reserved for participants, so we sat outside instead, which we didn't mind at all because the patio was so enjoyable. The prices were very reasonable, and the location is an added bonus. After dinner, you can go for a nice walk around the area or stop next door for ice cream at Made by Marcus, which made for the perfect end to our date night. We'll definitely be back!

Ive been here a few times, but this was the first time I stayed for longer than a drink or two…read more Our server was amazing! She was constantly checking on us especially during a real busy day. Drinks were pretty good! Although we had no menu to see what drinks were available and their website doesn't seem to be working at the moment so no online menu. Food was pretty meh this particular day- again this was a busy day so maybe that had an effect on it- but we ordered the Mac and Cheese, Soup of the Day (Bowl) and the chicken wings. They went 0/3 on the dishes we had. The mac and cheese had almost no flavour to it. The soup was pretty average tomato bisque but there wasn't much, even in the larger portion. It was like 3 shots of soup in a very wide bowl. Pretty sure it was just a can of Campbell's with basil. But the wings haha- They ran out of regular wings, which is totally fine, but then they offered boneless wings- I'm more of a boneless wing guy anyways to be honest- so I get those. Then I got served the dish in the attached picture. I'm not sure if it was the leftover bits from the frier or chicken of the cave, but I had one bite and it was really over cooked and just tasted weird. My friend ordered the wings earlier on and the portion comparison to this was pretty hilarious, these were tiny little mystery meat chunks. In the end our waitress thought it was odd too and she offered to wave them off the bill which I appreciated. Again she was super kind and provided excellent service. It's a pretty chill vibe in there, they have live music pretty often and that's nice. Well designed place. Clean bathrooms. Go for drinks, food if you're absolutely starving (but not the soup, you'll still be hungry), cool interior and a really nice patio!
