Maya Jimenez 😬March 18, 2014Steak tartare. Bacon jam & ricotta toast. All cocktails. You're welcome.
Yera HaSeptember 7, 2014Cooler, more relaxed vibe than some of the surrounding bars. Comfy seats, too!
Jack GashiDecember 14, 2014Gets packed at night but solid spot. The breakfast burger is great at brunch
Always a good spot. Can get crowded but a great spot to meet people.
Small but delicious brunch menu, great cocktails and bloody Mary's!
Go downstairs for a sausage fest. The green machine (gin) and Wren old fashioned were delicious.
Port Harbor HomesOctober 26, 2013Nice beer selection, young but cool crowd ( I'm an oldster), good music...highly recommended.
Emily SokolowMay 20, 2013Beef jerkey, cheddar and bacon biscuits, and fries w/vinegar and mayo. Great Sunday night.
Top notch brunch. Smoked trout with poached egg, can't go wrong.
Drew ShannonJanuary 17, 2015Great atmosphere, cool decor, and hip drinks, but at the end of the day, unfortunately the food just wasn't very good. Group of 3 for brunch, we all left pretty disappointed with our food.
Great weekend daytime spot. Nice beer selection. Soft shell crab sandwich = drool
Cocktails here never disappoint. Wren old fashioned and wren-quila are must haves.
Deep GujralAugust 9, 2014The bar is always packed, and usually only 2 bartenders. For faster and more attentive service, pay with cash.
Beef and Stilton pie - do it. The sausage roll is also yum. Didn't love the jerky -- very spicy (good) but felt soggy
This place is enjoyable when it’s quiet in the afternoon. Otherwise it’s overcrowded and super loud. Cocktails are way too sweet.
EMC◾️April 9, 2018The food was not good. Granted it was late night but they do late night food. also the bartender - big tall guy was wasted. Music so loud I couldn’t even think. After a long day this isn’t the place.
Order off-the-menu cocktails, always. They make a mean Sazerac and Mint Julep.
Christian HammerdorferAugust 24, 2013Fabulous steak tartare. Nicely stocked bar with local micro distilleries
After a drink or two, you may want to order a side of fries with malt vinegar mayo for the table. Do it.
Maximum BurgerMay 7, 2017Watery French Press coffee and slow service but reasonable prices, good food and nice interiors
Nicolette RomeroDecember 7, 2014Cocktail recommendations - Moscow mule and mulled wine with brandy! 🍷
rebecca russellMay 17, 2013cheddar bacon biscuit basket. definitely worth the difficult pronunciation.
Theresa RoldanJanuary 15, 2016Such a bro bar. It's good if you're into that. Drinks are good and pricey
@JaumePrimeroApril 21, 2012Had an awesome olive brine cocktail here that the bartender made just for me. Score!
SheenaDecember 24, 2017Came here once for a drink and another time for a work party. Catering is not their forte, all the food was fried/dry/salty. It's a shame because as a smaller group food was better. Drinks areon point
Adam V.August 7, 2017Usually crowded, super fratty, with music so loud you can't really have a conversation.
NinaJanuary 16, 2014Me & 2 girlfriends went to this bar for the 1st & last time tonight. The table waitress took the half full glass of my friend. When we complained to her, she called the security guy to throw us out.

"Most underrated brunch spot. You'll easily get a table 12-1. love the $5 champagne or breakfast negroni. Get Scottish eggs, waffle for the table and the kale salad (trust me on the salad)"
