Description
Operating on First Avenue since 2009, this neighborhood staple features a casual layout with seating at the bar, along the windows, around central barrel tables, or at wall tables. Sports play on the screens, but take note when ordering: the two TV menus display different options, so check both. The food quality can vary depending on the day, but the weekly happy hours and versatile setup keep it an easy, accommodating space for groups, couples, and solo visitors.
