WOWOW! We swung by for drinks but we were really in the mood to eat… and to our surprise the bar had a foodery in the back! To our great delight, the hottie totties and beer-battered onion rings were delicious!! Would definitely recommend.

My favorite food spot in my favorite bar!! They have an extensive menu that has chicken wings, burgers and sandwiches. I always get The Strength (V) and add a beyond patty in it :) I love their huge portions - I feel like their sandwiches weigh 5lbs def check out their chicken wings and waygu burgers! :) perfect for game nights

What an amazing find! In the back of a dive bar, a literal opening in the wall with the tastiest burgers I had in a while. And I discovered it purely by accident. It's hidden really well, you can't see it or read about it from the street. You need to peek into the dive bar to find it at the other end of the space. And even doesn't always appear on Google Maps, depending on your zoom level. But make no mistake, this is a top tier burger spot.
