Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for a romantic date, but works for a casual, fun outing if both enjoy sports and a lively atmosphere.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, they don’t take reservations. Arrive early before first pitch or after the final out for faster seating.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes during daytime; families are common pre-game. Evenings get louder and more bar-focused, better suited for older kids or teens.
