First off- hectic location due to a shared parking lot area in a industrial area. Not enough parking! Also, small venue inside. It was plenty for this Saturday afternoon but if they run an event it must be shoulder to shoulder. Awesome graffiti on the back wall but missed opportunity in their plain bathrooms. Shuffleboards and games are always a win. Small merch corner. The true win here... the bartender! He was personable, outgoing, loud and downright having fun! He spread the vibe. He was super nice to our kids, even letting our little guy get a little tour. Bent was a great time!

Horchata was very good. My one complaint is the music. It was so loud, you could barely hear anyone; including the server. So I really couldn't have any kind of conversation with my friend. We ate and left.

It was a friggen mad house. Usually the Porthole is the spot to be that night, but everyone had the same idea my friends and I had apparently. By 10:30pm you could barely move and I'm pretty sure 85% of Lynn was there. Anyways, it's usually not like that they offer more than the smaller bars do. You can play darts, pool, they offer karaoke, the bartenders even gave my friends and I some cards to play with one night. If you're looking to have a good time with some friends and you happen to be in the Lynn area this place is definitely worth checking out.

I visited last week with my sister for a quick lunch on Sunday. We've dined here many times over…read morethe years and have consistently had positive experiences! My 3 star review is due to the fact that gratuity was automatically added to our bill. In all the years I've been coming here, I've never had this happen before, especially on a bill of around $60 for a party of two. I feel this should be clearly disclosed to guests. As someone who has worked in the service industry, we were always told to communicate when gratuity has been added, as failing to do so can come across as misleading and may result in customers unintentionally tipping twice. I don't necessarily take issue with gratuity itself, but transparency and clear communication are important parts of good service.

I can't wait to come back to night to enjoy the live music/dj (I'll prob skip karaoke night tho lol).
