Laura Vitaro: Awesome German Beer Hall. Great atmosphere. They have maßes (liters) and delicious grilled cheeses. My only complaint: where the pretzels at?
Geoffroy Bablon: The bacon cheddar blue is one of the best grilled cheeses I've ever had. Get it with some chips, they've got a slight spice kick.

Franklin Bonafe: Not only do they have the best burgers, they have sports in tv, great jukebox, and you can actually have a decent conversation with some interesting people:)
Esquire: Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Sure, it's a gay bar, but this dingy old survivor is more masculine than 90 percent of the straight bars in America.

Laura Lachman: Brunch spot: grilled cheese with poached egg and mushrooms. To die for!

ᴡ Fleysher: The grilled cheese in the brunch menu is awesome! Also fries are delish and Brussels sprouts too.
Valentin Guerin: If you don't know the place you might just stay at the bar downstairs, huge mistake! Enjoy a dinner upstairs or in the garden, with live piano and great cocktails.
eFlirt Expert: A date spot with ambiance. If its nice out, ask for seating in the garden. If it's happy hour, take advantage of $6 craft cocktails and $1 oysters (aphrodisiacs!).
