    Merbombing Danny Roach for his birthday and honoring his community spirit.

    This family owned business does so much for the community, I had to merbomb them! Always a welcoming vibe with great specials. We are very lucky to have this establishment on the Avenue.

    The new bartender Kat-G is awesome! We were made to feel very welcome! Suzy-Q was also great. Don't sleep on this local gem!

    Very nice casual joint Good BAR food and pool tables…read moreFriendly with parking in center of Southport

    We decided to check out this cute restaurant and bar March 1, 2026 in the afternoon. First…read moreimpression was good. A clean exterior and as we came inside, we were promptly greeted by Kyle L., the bartender. Johnny ordered a beer (Capt. Zig) and I ordered a glass of Chardonnay (Kendall Jackson) and two waters with lemon while we looked over the menus. We had a large breakfast but decided to try their wings as we are always looking for the "best wings" in CT. We ordered the buffalo as that's their hottest sauce, again CT isn't known for very many spicy lovers. Kyle said he would ask the chef to use whatever possible to bring some heat and he didn't disappoint. While they weren't quite as hot as we would've wanted, they were large, cooked perfectly and had great flavor. The blue cheese we dipped them in tasted homemade . The restaurant has adequate seating with a horseshoe shaped bar area with nice barstools. Plenty of TVs to catch your favorite game on, pool table and real dart board with steel tipped darts which was a welcome surprise. For a sports bar, they offer a really nice wine lists and while not cheap, they were reasonably priced for the offerings they offered. The bar area, restaurant and bathroom were clean as well. We will definitely come back to sample more of the food, and the only reason for 4 stars since we only had wings. Go with confidence. Thanks Kyle

    I wanted to like this place but I got bad vibes. We first walked in and and there was only 1 bar…read morestool (party of 2) so we sat at a high top. They could have easily fit another 3 stools at the bar; people were actually standing in the places stools could have gone. The place felt like an old neighborhood bar where guys went after work for a beer before heading home. Everyone seemed to know each other. Besides the bar scene it was empty. I walked to the bar and asked for menus and a few beers. We had to go to the bar each time to order. We got the buffalo wings and Sikorsky sliders. Food took a while but it was worth it. The wings were breaded so they had a nice crunch to them. The sliders were great - grilled chicken, bacon, sharp cheddar and cracked pepper mayo. The food was really good, I always appreciate a breaded wing. The beer and wings were supposed to be on happy hour at $5 each as noted on the menu. When we got the bill we were charged full price for everything. We asked the bartender why they weren't discounted and he explained that they weren't on HH. We asked him to look at the menu and he said he would honor the prices but the menus were wrong...? I wonder how many times people were charged full price for these items before and didn't take the time to look at the bill. I don't know if that's a normal practice in this place but its a shame because I definitely will not be going back.

Sliders are good, also got the buffalo chicken egg roll which was really crunchy. There's usually a dog hanging out inside, well behaved and friendly. I don't mind that at all. It's such a soft environment. As far as drinks, there is not a very good draft beer selection, basically your usual basics and a seahag. Why not some local craft beer?! Service was great until our waitress disappeared (went home?) I ended up going to the bartender to cash our our lunch check from the table. Still we will likely be back because the food is yummy.
