The location has a cool, eclectic vibe thanks to the owners' creative touch; they specialize in refurbishing materials into one-of-a-kind furniture and decor. What's really cool is that most everything is for sale, so you can literally eat, drink, and shop. The drinks are solid, and reasonably priced. While the food menu is limited, we have enjoyed everything we tried. Outside there is a piano on the patio and live music often fills the air. Overall it is a great hangout that will surround you with creativity.

The place radiates friendliness and you truly feel like a regular when you walk in, warmly greeted right away and taken care of the entire duration of your meal. My family had returned after a long day of theme park food and I needed something lite - and their seasonal salad was just what I needed. It was a very generous portion with some of my the sweetest strawberries I've ever had with candied walnuts, feta cheese, and a delicious vinaigrette to go along with it. Skip the theme park dining when you can - or at the very least, supplement it with this delicious cuisine and friendly service.

Our first night in Sandusky landed us in this small tavern right across Lake Erie…read more Very casual vibe and everyone was very accommodating but seemed overwhelmed. For an appetizer, we ordered the wedge salad and the Buffalo Chicken dip. I got the perch dinner for my main course. The kid got a chicken sandwich and my wife got the brisket Mac n cheese. They said that the kitchen was backed up. Honestly, it was totally not an issue. We were just relaxing, watching the game and chilling after a 7 hour drive from NJ. What was an issue was...... appetizers came out exactly the and time as the main courses. WHY????????? It couldn't have taken that long to throw blue cheese, bacon and tomatoes on a chunk of lettuce and pump out the Buffalo Chicken dip and then worry about the main courses later. Now we have to decide, do we want to eat the entrees or even touch the appetizers. That alone always ruins everything. Food was very good. Like I said, people were very nice but you just can't bring everything out at once. Defeats the point of "starting" with something.

Went to this bar because my friend has a connection to "Jax" and just wanted to get a drink from here because what the name means to her. Andy was immediately rude to my two friends who happen to be a lesbian couple. Refused to serve them. We reluctantly left, and the people on the front patio immediately jumped into action. Some of them work there from what we could tell, and others are locals who jumped at the chance to display their bigotry. One girl in what looked like a badly placed black wig was making lewd gestures to my friends about being lesbians, another dude said "It's a free country WE CAN DO THIS NOW!!!", and another lady called one of my friends a c**t after telling her "this bar isn't a place for your kind". As we were walking away, "Wig", yelled to me "I bet you're gonna get pegged by them tonight!" Thinking she was so hilarious getting the last word in. Utterly disgraceful locals feeling emboldened by a case that represents the minority of this country. I would suggest anyone who is a member of the LGBTQ community (or friends/family of them) steer absolutely clear if this bar. They will claim you are "too drunk to serve with bloodshot eyes" but once you push back because you are not that, they show their true colors that it's because they don't want to serve people who happen to be LGBTQ. The vibe of the entire place once we walked in was tense and super small location so even if we had been served, would've dipped out quickly.
