What players say

I come here for a casual night with friends and it's the perfect setting. It's big enough so you don't feel as though you are on top of all of the other customers, they have high top tables around the bar for seating, the actual bar, booths along the wall, in addition to outside seating and the outdoor bar.

Do not let this place fool you! We stopped in for lunch and were unsure of this assuming place. It was nice and open on the inside and bright for a pub. The Bartender was a gem with her personality and you can tell the locals are here often and enjoy this place. The food was awesome! Came out hot and well made.
