Weekend wait: 30-45 min without a reservation, especially after happy hour.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait during lunchtime.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, the lively atmosphere and casual vibe make it a fun spot for a first date, but not too loud for conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, but reservations are recommended during busy hours (especially around happy hour). You may have to wait for a table without one.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes, though it’s more suited for older children due to the bar atmosphere. High chairs are available, and the food is generally family-friendly.
Best For
Better for: Great for groups or a casual drink-and-bite after work or a show. The pizza and drink specials are a big draw compared to other bars in the area.
Skip if: Looking for a quiet dinner or fancy experience – this is more of a lively, casual hangout spot.
