Tried to go yesterday for lunch. Even though their posted hours are 11 AM-Midnight, and the doors were open, we were informed that they don't serve food until 5 PM. Strange. Loved curbside and was looking forward to it.

They have posted that they're just doing dinner right now all over social media. I am pretty sure the 5pm thing is just for now.

I took my family on Friday around 5:45. Very young crowd, music was so loud I could not hear my 3 yr old son next to me. And the music was uncensored, to say the least.

Beer selection sucks by and large. Same old, same old. I had the Brian 2.0 and it was great, wife had KGB and it was decent at best. Surprisingly boring for something with that much stuff on it. My wife wisely substituted the truffle oil fries, they were great. But the aioli they came with was a joke.

I was hoping it would have more of a sports bar feel but there are only a handful of TVs in the main room. More of a Bulldog type feel.

I assume you aren't/weren't familiar with the one in New Orleans?

It's not exactly a family dinner type of place.

Yeah, not at all. I'm surprised they even allow children, but regardless.. anyone who doesn't know, you're better off not bringing young kids there. It is a bar as far as I've always been concerned.

Been twice already. Very fun if you are in college or early to mid 20s. Really a guy place though, I don't see many females going to hang out there. It will do well, especially on gamedays, but it's nothing special. Having Curbside will be a huge help for them

Its got a good atmosphere though. Obviously the arcade games aren't the reason chicks go, but has a good environment to grab a few drinks. If they can bring some girls in for that they'll be fine.

Its certainly a better atmosphere to have a few drinks than any other bar in the area.

Actually, in my experience, I've seen many families at the location in New Orleans both during the day and around dinner hours. The loud music and crowds don't usually start popping up at the NOLA location until well after "dinner time".

Maybe once they have the kitchen running at full speed, there will be more of a focus on food during normal "restaurant hours". It shouldn't be a loud and annoying bar until well after the sun goes down. They'll figure that out eventually though.

its a college bar, having 250+ beers on tap when most of your customers will be sticking to the basics seems dumb.

stopped by briefly saturday night, I liked it. I didn't have time for a burger but they looked good.


They had this awesome game so I was sold regardless

Hell, it's one of the few spots we take our kids every time we take them to the city. Lunch on the patio with the big arse connect four is awesome.
