Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited availability and tougher after 6pm. Public transit is the easier option.
Dress code: Casual — jeans, sneakers, and after-work attire all fit in easily.
Noise level: Moderate to loud during games; conversation is fine early, tougher once it fills up.
Weekend wait: 15–30 minutes during peak game hours; shorter if you’re flexible on seating
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited — a few bar sides or snacks, but not a true vegetarian destination.
Vegan options: Very limited — not recommended if vegan eating is the priority.
Gluten-free options: Limited — some wings and drinks may work, but no dedicated gluten-free prep.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you’re keeping it casual. It works for a low-pressure beer-and-wings meetup, but it’s not a romantic or conversation-forward setting.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — most people walk in. Bar seating turns quickly, especially on weekdays before peak hours.
Is it kid-friendly? Not really. It’s a bar-first environment best suited for adults, especially later in the day.
Best For
Better for: Quick, uncomplicated wings with beers in a true neighborhood bar setting.
Skip if: You want elevated wings, a quieter atmosphere, or a place built for a full meal.
