If you are looking for a drink on your way in or out of Proctors, this may be the place for you. There are a number of beers on tap but forget about finding anything recognizable or comparable in quality or flavor with known name brands. You can get Bud in bottles though. Mixed drinks cost about 20% more than other venues within walking distance. This is a spacious place with a number of seating and table options as well as a nice function space on the second level, where there is a big draw for karaoke nights. It really is a nice place but you might find yourself wondering why all those silly dollar bills are tucked up into the ceiling tiles in the bar area...a bit tacky, but hopefully you are coming with friends so you arent staring upward. The food selection is generally bar fare, and very well executed! Whoever runs the kitchen does a masterful job and you wont be waiting long at all before your meal is served. Food prices are very reasonable and you wont be disappointed at all. The biggest drawback is that whoever orders their tap beers is convinced those no name breweries are just as good as any of the go-to brands you would want. It really means they dont care to make a second sale of a decent brew.

We made reservations for 6:30pm there were 5 of us, we were going to an 8pm show at Proctors. We figured that would be more than enough time. When we arrived we sat right down at our table, the place was not very busy. We ordered drinks and then we ordered our food when the drinks arrived. We sat there waiting and waiting while the place was getting busier and busier. Finally around 7:30 asked about our food, the waitress said she would check on it, which she did and said it would be out momentarily. About 10 minutes or so later she came back and said our food wasnt going to be out in time. She said she had forgotten to put the order in. We had a feeling when we ordered our drinks and it took a good 15 minutes for them to arrive. Then the waitress forgot some of them. If you are going to eat here before a show give them atleast 2 hours if not more. Very disappointed! They were very kind and told us they were taking the food off the bill, YEAH we didnt get it.

I always have a good experience with this place. The only thing that happened was my boyfriend left his wallet behind. On the backstage website it states that they will be open 4pm-2am. So the next day we came at 5pm and the open sign is on, and other lights are on, but the door is locked. Tried calling the bar several times, no response. Either change the times on the website or actually adhere to the hours. It was really annoying because we left without getting his wallet back.

We were going to a show at Proctors. I made reservations for 6 , my wife and i with 4 other friends via the net not knowing what to expect. We were all happy that we went there. The food was great and service was good. Some great beer choices too. After dinner we all agreed that we will be back to enjoy this place again.

We LOVED the Monster Burgers. More than you can fit in your mouth and cooked to perfection. Jane was very helpful as we were very pleased with the location just before we went to Proctors. We will be coming back.

Very attentative service provided by Rachel. Surprising the burger along with the onion rings were both really good. It is a little small and cramp on the inside though.
