★★★★★ 5.0 CB Architect-Builder · Dec 2025

This is one of my favorite old haunts dating back to when I lived in Venice in the mid-late 90’s. Always loved the turkey burger and salad and wide selection of tap beers. The architectural design was cool back in the day too but they took away the cool entry canopy, Painted the front millwork and did some other tweaks which change it a little for me. The ceiling could also use a freshen up! 🤔🤪 NTL, Chris the bartended was nice and served us up some tasty beers, tacos and mezcal! Nice walk down memory lane!

★★★★★ 5.0 Bradley Adams · Jan 2026

This spot offers something for every taste, from a well thought out food menu to an impressive beer lineup. Everything felt carefully curated and enjoyable. It is the kind of place that makes you want to relax, stay a little longer, and plan your next visit before you even leave.

★★★★★ 5.0 Donna S · Jan 2026

Stopped in after an errand on an early weekday evening. Forgotten how much I enjoy being there. Above all, a wonderful, welcoming staff. Sat in the bar area at a table, the gentleman bartender is just so outgoing & friendly, wait staff is great too. A nice happy hour menu, but ordered off the regular menu with a glass of great wine. Only callout to management. You have a great vibe with awesome staff. Upgrade your menu for customers who want more for dinner, than what everyone else on Main St serves: burgers, tacos, fried options. Your food quality & presentation is great, just don’t be content with “bar food”. You are sandwiched between multiple bars, sushi & Mexican food and nowhere on the street is there a nice, casual mid priced venue. You can do better on the menu & also add some m

★★★★★ 5.0 Jennifer Zdenek · Mar 2026

Great place. Employees were super nice, accommodating and informative. We had a large group and they helped us with organizing a large table in the back. Food came out quickly and the drinks were cold & refreshing. We had their Old Fashion (which was delicious) and of course their Guinness on tap was perfect.
