Was really hungry after seeing a show at The Broadberry. This place was the first we walked by on the way home that was open. Decided to take a chance. We sat at the bar and were greeted by the bartender, Doug. He was really...More

Not quite sure how to rate. Had a great time eating small plates of funky food (grilled dates wrapped in spicy ham), nice reasonably price wine and great jazz music. Smallish dining area and only on-street parking and "loud" due to music. The loudness of...More

No parking, website menu not functioning, old grey duct tape & no handle on door, & 3 smokers in front of only entrance door, but we took a chance. Waitress was nice, but dirty plastic menus with nothing appealing. Unfortunately, inside & out needs repair...More

I hosted a Meetup event here for trivia night and it was so much fun. They have a jeopardy like board they display on the TV screen which is nice so you don't have to solely rely on hearing (at a loud bar!). Tapas were...More
