I had the Patty Melt. It was everything I could have hoped for.. greasy, cheesy, juicy with just the right amount if sauce. Lots of good beers and drink to choose from and they had the USA vs Canada 4 Nations final on. Who woukdnt have fun!

Sandwiches are good. Bar staff is relatively friendly. The one major downside was the bartender informed us, after we ordered drinks and food, when we asked for water that only serve bottled water for $1 a piece. He said "that's just kind of our thins how we've always done it." But that's not how they've always done it. We were there a few months prior and there was definitely a free water station. Not sure why they would lie about that. But cool I guess?

Super chill bar on a Sunday night with NBA and Sunday Night Football (sound on) displayed clearly. If you're going to be a sports bar, be a sports bar: love it! The beer was cold and the bartender was nice. And the burger and fries were on point. Will come back.

My favorite sports bar in the city. Great selection of beer. The staff is incredibly friendly. The fish n chips, the wings, and the onion rings are fire. I enjoy the old school sports bar vibe. And if you ever get a chance to meet the owner, Rudi, he's one cool dude. Total gentleman.

I'm a fan of any place that plays the KC Chiefs for Monday night football. The bar wasn't packed and we got a seat at the bar and got a pitcher of a local lager. They also had the warriors playing so it was a win win for sports that night. The barmaid had a cute dog, Moana, but my dog was too occupied with his toy to give her any attention. We ordered the chicken sandwich with fries and a side of onion rings, which were a little burnt but I didn't mind it. Not too bad for bar food. Would recommend.
