Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking on 3rd Avenue is limited, especially evenings; nearby paid garages on 39th–41st Streets are the most reliable option.
Dress code: Casual to smart casual; jeans and sneakers are common, but office attire fits in comfortably on weekdays.
Noise level: Moderate to loud during games and happy hour; quieter in the back dining area where conversation is easier.
Weekend wait: 10–25 minutes for small parties; larger groups may wait longer during peak sports events.
Weekday lunch: Generally no wait, even for tables away from the bar.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: A few options, including salads and some pub starters; limited for burger-focused diners.
Vegan options: Minimal—most dishes rely on dairy or meat; expect to customize.
Gluten-free options: Some items can be made gluten-friendly (e.g., removing buns), but no dedicated prep area.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for a casual meet-up than a formal first date; the lively pub atmosphere works if you want something relaxed and unfussy.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—reservations aren’t typically required. Arriving early or choosing the back room helps avoid bar-crowd delays.
Is it kid-friendly? Acceptable for older kids during daytime and early evenings, but late-night hours skew adult and sports-focused.
Best For
Better for: Oversized burgers, long hours, and a true pub atmosphere with plenty of seating away from the bar.
Skip if: You want a quieter, date-oriented dining room or a menu with strong vegan or gluten-free offerings.
