Our server Naomi was amazing. Gave great suggestions for drinks and showed exemplary service to our Batchelor party. Thank you for being such a great person. Enjoy the popper.

This is a GREAT bar! We were in town for a game at The Big House and stopped by for lunch. It was CRAZY busy, which added to the fun. Be prepared for a surprisingly long wait for food on a gameday (at least an hour to get a reuben sandwich and chicken tenders/fries). We sat at the bar. Great ambiance! Owned by the same people who own The Brown Jug.

The drinks here were amazing and it’s a great value - the long Islands were only 7.50. The only thing that bothered us was the fact that it took the waitress quite a long time to serve us. Another thing is that they have a fixed tip of 20%.

That atmosphere was awesome! First time going there since it was a going away party. We went when there was a 10 special and 1 lb of wings and a pitcher of miller light. We got the barbecue and spicy chili sauce. We spent about an hour hanging out and catching up and danced to a couple of songs. Food was so yummy and the bar service was great!

Decent options and a decent price. Decent atmosphere as well. Nothing much more to say. EDIT: Brownie sundae is absolutely PHENOMENAL and bumped my rating from 4 5 stars

Jazz. Green beer and a college bathroom. A pit stop for me next to Pinball Pete’s.

Good food and not too bad prices. Funny waiters.

Great service and atmosphere. My son-in-law and I came from Canada to see the game and went to the Blue Leprechaun afterwards. While there we met the owner and his wonderful family, can’t say enough about their hospitality.
