“ Jars of draft and outside picnic tables. Very pleasant spring time afternoon hangout ”
“ Great spot for ending the night. Solid tacos for when you’re drunk and you know that Crunchwrap you’re thinking about ordering will just make you feel even worse in the morning. Bartender was nice, had a good convo, and there’s some sidewalk seating as well. ”
“ (Out of towner) — Ordered 10 wings, Sweet Red Chili & Korean BBQ. Very good wings with a good crisp and flavor. Kona beer was delicious. The gentleman serving me (Delonte) was a great server & was very composed and paid attention to everyone during this busier time frame. My only criticism would be the size of location (indoors). It has an outdoor spot that would obviously extend better in warmer months. Overall, great experience and a fantastic staff contrary to what was said in other posts. ”
“ Came in on Saturday night and had the best experience with Katelyn at the bar! Her drink suggestions were on point and her friendly personality secured me as a return customer next time I’m in town. If you’re looking for a cold drink and a fun night, look no further this spots for you! ”
“ First time coming here early 2019, DIDNT think much of. In fact DIDNT even think would last. Seemed small, too small, to last in current location. A quick walk north of the Marriott Marquis, Courtyard, and Rennaissance hotels - Convention Center - on 9th St NW. Well guess what? Still here, and STILL excellent. Bar/ beer prices unmatched. 3 16oz Naragansetts for HH. Great wings. And the best grilled cheese sandwiches around. And opened till 2-3AM, including food until 1AM. Nothing fancy. Nothing special. Just there, and fair- when and where nothing else is. Highly recommended. Take a look ”
“ This place is good at what it does. It's a beer, grilled cheese, and wing spot. It does all three of those things very very well. Looking forward to coming back again soon. ”
“ Out of all of the places I stopped in at to grab a quick bite for a drink, I think this is my favorite. This place is just a cool little spot to grab some wings and tacos, have a beer or a cocktail, and hang out for a bit. I went the taco route and as a Texan, I approve. Cooked well, good corn tortillas, awesome queso fresco. Service was super friendly, fast, and this place wasn't super packed like so many others in the area. 5/5! ”
“ Such a great place to get some comfort food, watch a game OR play a board game. They have decent inexpensive beer, good wings and nice grilled cheese sandwiches!!! Great place to hang out with friends. ”
