Came in for a quick Monday night drink and surprise it was trivia night! Im shocked by the 1 start reviews, I loved the atmosphere. I thought the place was decorated really great with a Damask painted wall and an amazing crystal chandelier in the front room. Our server was really nice and chatted with us for a bit which is rare these days. Beer menu was great, I ordered the first one on the list $5 for a bottle of Abita Strawberry Harvest Lager, brought out with a rocks glass, but thats cool. The menu looked really good, classic bar appetizers hummus, wings, cheese curds, nachos. They also server brunch, which looks low key but nice. They offer 6 pizzas all for $10, 9 burgers, 6 sandwiches and some salads that can be turned in to wraps. They have a sidewalk patio and a pool table, I will definitely be back to check it out again!

Went on a Wednesday night for late eats (kitchen open until 1am), it was pretty nice. Nice amount of people coming and going given it was 10pm during the week. Sports television plays but with no sound, the music is classic rock/pop so typical bar stuff. The menu was bomb and reasonably priced. Really liked the bartender! She knew a nice amount about beers and recommended us a good light beer, was friendly, and clearly doing her job instead of killing time on a slow night. One star knocked off for some of the furniture being duct taped and the food coming kind of slow. Otherwise great place, Id recommend it.

Ok, Ill give them points for good food. The food that they actually HAD was delicious, but lets mention that they were out of ingredients for multiple items on their menu and it was only 8pm on a Saturday. My table was literally the ONLY patrons there, yet the waitress couldnt keep up. We had to wait forever to order, for our food, and especially for our check. The beer was flat. Thats always disappointing. Its definitely a pub-type place with a nice "hole in the wall" atmosphere. Id say... probably great for 2am drunk food, but not for a nice evening dinner out with friends.

My favorite place to eat in Ukrainian Village. I frequent there and have never had an issue. The people who work there are always very sweet. They have their own blend of Dark Matter coffee which is really cool. They also have a nice beer selection. The buffalo chicken sandwich with waffle fries are top notch!

this used to be a standby for me. not that the food was ever great, but the last three times I have ordered there i have gotten plastic in my food twice and food poisoning the other. what is so hard about a burger or some quesadillas? gross place, getting grosser by the day.

Came to watch the World Series game. The game was on TV but the barkeeper refused to set the volume on the game. Instead I had to listen to lame music background. Bottom line is, just because a bar thas screens showing sports everywhere, that doesnt make it a sports bar.

A+ all around for this bar. They offer amazing food with equally impressive drinks and a nice ambiance. I would suggest their margherita pizza, it really hit the spot. Also, their cocktail menu is pretty solid, so make sure to give that a fine look over.

Beetle!! Whats happening?!?!?! Your service has completely crashed. Every time we return the service gets worse. I keep hoping it will go back to the way it used to be, but I think it may be too far gone. Fix it or lose it.

Great food (a friend had fish and chips that was amazing, and I had the poutine), great seasonal beer selection, and a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. Not to mention the service was top notch!

Great patio, allow dogs, good food and specials on the weekend. Great place to spend a quiet night. Standard $10 cocktails but good selection. I never mind coming by this spot!

Hit or miss. Great neighborhood spot with good drink specials but their food is always hit or miss. Avoid the smoked salmon salad. Go for a burger with waffle fries!

A mostly average experience but the place has been around for a while and Ill go here with friends over a lot of other places in the general neighborhood.

I just moved into the neighborhood and I needed a good place to watch local hockey games. They were really awesome and have great food specials.
