What makes it special: Wings program matched to a wide local-beer lineup.
Who should go: Game-day groups and friends
When to visit: Weeknights 6–8pm for smoother service
What to order: Buffalo; mango habanero; garlic parm
Insider tip: Bar seats turn fastest during big games—watch for openings.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking along Clement and 23rd Avenue; can be tight after 7pm, but nearby residential blocks usually have open spots within a 5-minute walk.
Dress code: Casual—team jerseys, hoodies, and jeans are common, but neat casual attire works fine for groups after work.
Noise level: Loud during big games or weekends, but manageable for conversation on weeknights before 7pm.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes if a major game is on; bar seating often faster turnover.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait; service moves quickly before 5pm.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: A few options—pretzels, fries, salads, and some flatbreads are vegetarian-friendly.
Vegan options: Limited; fries and some sides can be adapted, but no dedicated vegan mains.
Gluten-free options: Some ciders and grilled items qualify; wings can be modified if ordered without breading—ask staff.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if your date loves beer and bar energy—it's lively, not intimate. Great for casual meetups, less so for quiet conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—it's walk-in only. Arrive early for groups or snag bar space during game nights.
Is it kid-friendly? Before 8pm, yes—families sometimes dine here early. After that, it shifts to an adult bar crowd.
Best For
Better for: Ideal for group hangs and sports nights with solid beer options and crisp wings—few nearby pubs balance both as well.
Skip if: If you want quiet dining, table service, or a broader food menu—go to nearby Violet’s Tavern or Eats Cafe instead.
