Logistics & Planning
Parking: Metered street parking on surrounding blocks; generally manageable, but can tighten during major games or late weekend nights.
Dress code: Very casual—jeans, sneakers, team gear all fit right in.
Noise level: Loud during games and peak bar hours; conversation requires some effort.
Weekend wait: 15–30 min during games; longer if arriving mid-game with a group.
Weekday lunch: No wait typically.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—typically a veggie burger or basic meatless swap.
Vegan options: Very limited—fries or sides with modifications.
Gluten-free options: Limited—burgers can be bunless, but no dedicated prep area.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if the goal is casual and low-pressure—this is bar-first energy, not an intimate setting.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—walk-ins are the norm, but arrive before peak game times for groups.
Is it kid-friendly? Earlier in the day, yes; late nights skew adult and bar-focused.
Best For
Better for: Watching games, drinking with friends, and ordering a filling burger without overthinking it.
Skip if: You want a quiet meal, dietary flexibility, or a destination-level burger experience.
