Go on a Tuesday for their burger night special!! For $10 you get a burger and side—best value in the city!! The burgers were so flavorful, couldn’t get enough. It’s a cute little tavern with people of all ages inside. We ordered the bbq bacon burger and their special for the day-the NOLA burger since it was Fat Tuesday. They should make the NOLA burger a permanent staple, it was so good!! Can’t leave a review without talking about their garlic fries—OMG they were to die for. They roast the garlic and add it to the fries and it was a perfect touch.

The Burgers were delicious but the Garlic fries were mehhh. The Wings were delicious and the fish and chips was good but I wish there was more than two little fish fillets in this meal. Overall the place was good with a couple average bits but you should definitely check this place out and try one of the local beers with your meal!

Loved sitting outside the weather was perfect. Some of the best clam chowder I have ever had. Caitlin are server was excellent. They had a Witch Dr Cocktail made with Dr Pepper, vanilla vodka and grenadine served with cute Halloween speared cherries. The special pumpkin ravioli served broccoli rabe so yummy. The fish tacos are awesome!

Lovely experience, dined here while on vacation from Florida. The burgers are amazing! The beer selection is great and diverse! Walking distance from many things like the Derby Wharf, The House of the Seven Gables and more!

Came just before 1 pm on Oct 15 and waited only a couple minutes to be seated. Steak tips with the salad and garlic fries were 10/10. My husband got the nachos with chicken added and it was also 10/10. We had a caramel apple hard cider that was incredible. Staff were friendly, attentive, and helped with suggestions on not only what to order but things to do around town. Great experience!
