Insider tip: Happy hour applies at the bar seats—ask for that menu.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking along First Street and nearby side streets; tends to fill up after 6pm, so arrive early or use nearby public lots behind the downtown theaters.
Dress code: Smart casual—dark jeans and a button-up or nice top fit the vibe. Many guests come straight from work or dress up for drinks.
Noise level: Moderate—bar chatter and music make it lively but still workable for conversation if seated toward the dining side.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes without a reservation, especially for bar seats during happy hour.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait; happy hour bar fills by 4pm.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—small plates like hush puppies, salads, and mac & cheese are solid choices.
Vegan options: Limited—some sides can be modified, but mains lean meat-forward.
Gluten-free options: Partial—menu marks gluten-free items, but kitchen is shared so cross-contact is possible.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—dim lighting, bourbon cocktails, and bar seating make it an ideal early-evening date spot, especially if you’re aiming for relaxed but upscale energy.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Usually yes at the bar during happy hour, but dining tables fill quickly on weekends—reserve ahead for Friday or Saturday nights.
Is it kid-friendly? Not particularly—the space and menu cater more to adults and cocktail drinkers. Families with teens might find early dinner hours workable, but no kids’ menu is offered.
Best For
Better for: Ideal for pairing craft cocktails with elevated bar bites like wings—stronger mixology program than typical pubs in the area.
Consider Alternatives If: You’re looking for a casual, family-style wing joint or a large group table with TVs—better suited for a night out with friends or dates.
