This is a great hidden gem ! The old bar vibe resonates as you walk in, and the old sports memorabilia just makes the place even cooler. The burgers were great, and the beer was cold.

The food here was really good and plentiful. We ordered the turkey sandwich and the steak sandwich, both of which were really good. The Mac n Cheese bites are definitely worth ordering. We will definitely visit again and try some of their other menu items.

This place never disappoints! Not many places offer the consistent service and food I always receive walking up those dark steps. From wings, burgers, and salads as big as your head! This place is a timeless dive!

Great place. First time and the food was amazing; both the Maui Burger and the Black Bean Burger were excellent. Staff was friendly and the beer nice and cold...the ambient temp was a bit warmer than what we are used to, but it is a college town bar so not out of the ordinary.

Was looking for a place that could host a group of 13 with kids and an adult with certain food allergies and my Google peeps came through. It was interesting getting in as we weren't really expecting the main entrance to be in the alley, but it really lent to the atmosphere. It's smaller than I expected but they hosted us no problem. The place has a local pub vibe and I noticed right away the ceiling loaded with old beer taps... it really looks cool! When you walk in you're greeted by a super friendly staff - they're simply ready, willing, and able to give you a warm and enjoyable experience. We ordered fried pickles and Mac and cheese balls to start. The dishes we ordered were varied; BBQ chicken wings, fish tacos, a couple of burgers, and I got the traditional Miami steak sandwich with onion rings. The fried pickles were pretty good and everyone really liked their dishes - especially the burgers! The traditional Miami steak sandwich was really good too. It reminded me of a veal parm sandwich with a little less cheese. It came with a side of onion rings that had a nice flavorful dipping sauce. If I went to college here, this place would have been my "go to". I approve and recommend you pay them a visit!

Really cool!!! Tiny little place at back in the alley. Everything you would imagine a small college town bar and restraunt. Cool local sports kitsch on the walls and more tap handles than I've ever seen on the ceiling. Had the grilled chicken breast sandwich, it was really good. Kid had the Miami Tradition, he said it was so good that I had to steal a bite. The Mrs had the Jammer and said that it was delicious, the bacon jam on it was amazing. Definitely try the house drinks. They're REALLY good.
