A lively Arts District brewpub with house beers, bar bites, and arcade-style fun; great for groups, but expect crowds, noise, and occasional service inconsistencies.
Restaurant Summary
Housed in a restored warehouse, this spot feels big and buzzing with skee-ball, darts, and pool swirling around a long bar pouring house beers. Guests describe bartenders as fast and friendly most nights, though peak hours get hectic. One guest summed it up: "Came for beers, stayed for the games and lively crowd." The cooking leans straightforward pub fare: burgers, wings, fish and chips, tacos, and hefty nachos built to ride alongside pints. Beers get the most love—IPAs, sours, and a stout show range—while the food is satisfying if not showy. Cocktails exist but can be prebatched, so beer is the safer bet for enthusiasts. Families do fine earlier in the day with kid-appeal staples like fries, tenders, and simple tacos. Several reviews note evening restrictions for minors, so plan daytime visits if you are bringing kids; later hours skew adult, louder, and more crowded.
