We had a great meal and service was good. It's a great place to watch sports and has a lot of seating. The music for a Monday night was great and spot on. We had the half rack and wings which was a lot of food. Tasted great with Lot of flavor. The beef burger was good as well. Great place for families to get out of the pub scene and have a meal.

Response from the owner

It's awesome that you enjoyed the meal and our Monday night tunes, Scott. Watching sports in a lively atmosphere with good food is what we're all about, so it's great to know you made the most of it. We're glad you and your family had a wonderful experience and we hope to see you all back soon for another fun-filled evening. Cheers! 🍔

Waiter service was good and friendly. Food was very mediocre. More worryingly is the staff, even with guidance from ‘the boss’ don’t understand their own nutritional information- either the vegan burger isn’t vegan or the fish, for example, doesn’t contain fish. Which is it? The musicians were great but the place lacks soul.

Response from the owner

Hi Colin, we appreciate you stopping by and sharing your experience. We're glad you enjoyed the live music and found our team friendly, but we're genuinely sorry to hear about the confusion over our menu and that the meal didn’t hit the mark for you. Feedback like yours helps us improve, so we'll be reviewing our nutritional info with the staff to make sure everything is clear and accurate and understandood. If you decide to give us another chance, please let a member of the team know so we can make your next visit better. Safe travels! 🙏
