Value: 8.2 Service: 7.6 Consistency: 7.8 Food Quality: 7.9 Atmosphere: 6 Cultural Relevance: 8.1
What makes it special: Hearty garlic fries served fast in a true game-day pub.
Who should go: Fans who want fries with the game
When to visit: Arrive before kickoff to snag seats
What to order: Garlic fries, wings, cold pint
Insider tip: Bar seats see the quickest fry runs during big games.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Limited street parking nearby; best to use the paid lot at Stanyan and Frederick or rideshare on game days.
Dress code: Casual—team jerseys, jeans, and sneakers are the norm.
Noise level: Loud during games with crowd energy and commentary; quieter on non-game afternoons.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes during major games or events.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait; tables open quickly between 11am–2pm.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—garlic fries, salads, and several appetizers fit the bill.
Vegan options: Limited—fries and select sides can work if ordered without sauces.
Gluten-free options: Some menu items can be made gluten-free on request, but the fryer is shared.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you’re both into sports—it’s lively and casual, not intimate. Ideal for a fun, low-pressure meetup.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, it’s first-come, first-served. Arrive 30 minutes before kickoff to grab a seat, especially near big screens.
Is it kid-friendly? During daytime hours, yes—families often stop in for lunch. Evenings during major games are more adult-focused.
Best For
Better for: Big-screen sports viewing, quick service, and classic pub fries paired with a cold beer.
Skip if: You’re after a quiet meal or gourmet fries—this is a sports pub first and foremost.
