What you’re looking at is the first real meal I had all day after a 7.5 hr drive. I got the 1861 burger with clam chowder soup. It was $22.25 before tax and tip.

This burger was amazing. The patty was good quality as was the potato bun. This burger consisted of a phenomenal combination of feta cheese, carmelized onions, bacon jam, mayo, lettuce and tomato.

When I tell you I was scooping the carmelized onions off my plate, I WAS. Perfection. The bacon jam was prominent and sweet, which mixed extremely well with the creamy feta cheese. The flavour profile on this burger was astounding.

The clam chowder wasn’t an extra cost and tasted homemade with real potatoe chunks and bacon chunks. While it didn’t have a strong clam taste, it smelled like it and it honestly just tasted really good.

What surprised me most of all was a man walked over and placed a $15 coupon on our table without saying a word. It was extremely appreciative! Never even got to say thankyou. So here is my thank you!

I highly recommended this spot. The service was attentive and kind. The vibe is really of a local bar but a step up. Great food and great atmosphere.

The food was very good, and the service was impressive. I had the short rib appetizer, which actually was a full plate, because it comes with fries., and two glasses of happy hour wine . The ribs were perfect, seasoned just right , and not over cooked. The only negative thing I have to comment on was the temperature of the restaurant, bundle up it's cold in there.

Carolyn was amazing I took my sister out for her first bar visit, our server made her visit above and beyond. The bar is still new only two years old and I must say the food has really stepped its game up since the last time I have visited. We will definitely be back again the atmosphere is still as bomb as it was last time and nothing but upgrades in this bar. Keep up the hard work guys! Highly recommend this place!

I always get a steak sandwich at pubs & this one was honestly the best I have ever had. It was the most tender meat and full of flavor. The chef was also super friendly and came out and gave me a chicken wing to try with his new sauce that was unreal. Our server, Andrea, was really helpful and answered all our questions. She was personable and a on the ball! I will certainly be back next time I am in the area.

The house beer was fresh and crisp, paired perfectly with the nachos that were very good! It's a great little spot to hang out and have a drink or two. Not too noisy, but still lively. Very attentive service with very friendly vibes.

I went there alone while waiting for my girlfriend. I received nasty stares from both servers, didn’t even greet me appropriately. Took 12mins to come back and get my order even though it was a slow Wednesday night. Moscow mule was disappointing, I thought I could save it with lime but it was still bad. Only thing that was good was hot wings. Servers were unapproachable and keeps giving me some nasty stares.
