Second time in here and both experiences were great. Food was quick and hit the spot. Megan serve me both times and she is on top of it all. Fairly busy bar and was very attentive to each of us. I will make this a regular stop

This place was great! I had the Mexican burger, and it was fantastic. We also ordered the fried onion appetizer with the boom boom sauce: absolute FIRE. They have a really solid beer selection, and my friend loved the dry cider she ordered. The staff was terrific. The bartenders were friendly, personable, and our food and drinks came out quickly. They also have an awesome pool and gaming area. Pool was super affordable at just $1.00 per game, which was a fun surprise. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Our 1st time. Fantastic food and drinks, the best margaritas and chili Rellenos we’ve had in a long time! It gave us a renewed faith in dining out. It got really busy shortly after we arrived. We asked for more chips to finish our queso off, but the bar person was so busy, he didn’t get us any and got a little grumpy when I asked for some. They need to get more staff or help at peak times. We will go back.

This place is a great neighborhood bar and restaurant in Cap Hill. Best bottomless mimosas deal in town and unreal BOGO HH M-F. Rooftop bar is killer too. Staff is super fast and attentive (Shout out to Megan, Jared, Will, Spencer, Molly, Kelly, Tommy and Cody the chef). So much to like about this place.
