There are very few restaurants in the Chester area which is how my daughter and I ended up here…read more This is a fairly new bar and very big. Their drinks were good but if you are a beer drinker you are mostly looking at the normal, run of the mill lagers. They did have a couple of IPAs but nothing special craft brewery-ish. My daughter ordered a mule and said it was very good. We both ordered burgers and fries. The burgers were very good and sized well so we walked away satisfied. The service was really very good. The young lady provided just the right amount of attention and was super friendly. This place would be an excellent place to frequent if you were a local. They have a gaming room with electronic gambling machines but there is tournament sized shuffleboard along the back wall and it looked like it was free to play. Also soft tip dart boards if you enjoy that.

So not only is it a great place for food and drinks, but it's a great venue for live entertainment! Though it was chilly, I checked out the patio and would definitely want to come back in the warmer months. Their bourbon selection is stellar, with a range of price points. I had the cranberry turkey sandwich yesterday and am excited to try something different today. I didn't get the martini flight, but I loved seeing how visually appealing they were when others ordered them. This place is a must-visit!

Frankie Hails was the lead singer. Red Spandex and a tight white silk shirt. He leaped off the stage like he was David Lee Roth, wailing PANAMA!!!!! His Spandex rips and his shoe flys off, direct hit in my face, lands in our pizza. At that exact moment a Fat Harley Davidson crash's through the front window and smashes into the poker machines. That was one hell of a band and a delicious pizza.

There's also a patio outside that would be awesome to stop at before or after a baseball game. A nice view of the arch included ! Drinks looked good although we kept it pretty basic on our orders.. it did not break the bank though, it was reasonable and did not take long to get served. It was an awesome spot to hang out for a while with pretty easy street parking. I can imagine if downtown was busy it'd be harder to find street parking but they did have paid lots with attendants so of course that'd be an option too.
