Laurie Banitch Trachter★★★★★We hosted our son’s first birthday in the Riverside and common’s rooms and had a great experience overall. Great value for the space and food/drinks. The bartender was friendly and attentive and the staff was very kind and helpful in making sure the setup was what we needed. Highly recommend!
True Traveler★★December 2025. Rude staff, front bartender stated "no cocktails"just beers, got there 30 minutes b4 the reserved party room was over and they still wanted to charge $25 to get in with nothing included, 10 minutes b4 they allowed us to get in, the staff in the private room were also rude, unprofessional, asked to speak to a manager, they said no manager was available, they never ask anyone to leave, instead they called the security guard to do that. I paid cash for the beer I ordered in front, but they still charged my credit card with overcharges. I attempted to reach out by phone, but n
Taylor Barone★PLEASE READ I rarely write negative reviews, but our experience here was extremely frustrating and unprofessional. My friend celebrated her 22nd birthday at the bar and we reserved the Wine Oak Cellar room downstairs.

During the first hour, we had a male bartender who was great. Unfortunately, when the bartender Alexia took over for the rest of the night, things became very confusing. Throughout
Janice Q★★Dive bar, no cocktail options at main bar. Went for a private event. Terrible experience. Bartender wasn't very friendly or accommodating. We went last year and had an incredible time with a different bartender. Based on the inconsistency i would definitely never book anything here again.
