Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; very limited late at night. Public transit or rideshare is strongly recommended.
Dress code: Casual bar wear—jeans, hoodies, sneakers all fit right in.
Noise level: Moderate to loud when games are on; conversation is easy between plays but not a quiet hang.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes late night; earlier evenings can spike if a big game is on.
Weekday lunch: No wait typically.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—fries and a few bar sides, but no standout vegetarian mains.
Vegan options: Very limited—best treated as a drinks-only stop for vegans.
Gluten-free options: Limited—some grilled items without buns, but cross-contamination is likely.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if the goal is ultra-casual. It works better for low-pressure hangs than impression-setting dates.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—walk-ins are the norm, especially later at night. Seating turns over quickly after peak dinner hours.
Is it kid-friendly? Earlier in the day, yes, but late night is adult-focused with sports, drinking, and higher noise levels.
Best For
Better for: Late-night groups who want burgers, beers, and sports without waiting or overthinking the menu.
Skip if: You want polished food, quieter conversation, or strong vegetarian and gluten-free options.
