Kangaroo & Kiwi

I’m giving them a 5 star for the price and the tastiness of an $8 burger and fries which is unheard in Seattle! I’ve been here many times and never thought about joining them for food and happy hour. It’s so cheap for their daily specials and the burger was delicious. You couldn’t go wrong with it and their secret sauce was delish. They have a huge outdoor area and you can even bring your pup (which I did). Nice spot for an outdoor area to enjoy HH drinks and the sun. The inside is quite large too and I’ve been there to watch sporting events and it’s a fun atmosphere. Check out their daily specials, wing night on Mondays for $.75 per wing, Tuesday $8 burger and fries, Wednesday $8 Toasty which is cheese sandwich and tomato soup, Thursday $10 Aussie Parma or schnitzel. It’s all sounds like a good deal! I’ll be back for other items on their HH list. The waiter was nice too! No complaints and it wasn’t busy on a Tuesday afternoon at 4. I’m sure it’s busy on big events and weekends. Fun spot!

6 dollar happy hour specials! Nice outdoor patio. Self service.

Very authentic Australian and new Zealand cuisine. The place is very spacious with tons of cool cocktails.

This was an amazing find for dinner. We were looking for food prior to seeing our show at the Tractor Tavern. The night was dark, rainy, and windy. The building was not well lit from the exterior compared to other buildings on the block. We decided to give it a chance. We were not disappointed. Housed in an old library, Kangaroo and Kiwi is a gem of an eatery. When you first enter the building you climb a flight of stairs to enter into the main pub area. We walked past the door to family-friendly seating area on the right. Once seated, there is a QR code for the menu on the table along with your table number. You will need the table number when you order your food up at the bar. We started with the Cheese curds upgraded to Poutine. These were fabulous and could be a meal on their own. The gravy was so rich and flavorful. Our main dishes choice was the Loaded Aussie Meat Pie - Aussie beef pie topped with mashed potatoes, grilled pepper and onions, gravy and bacon. Another favorite. The food was perfect on that cold dreary night. We will be back in a few weeks!

Went for happy hour...Good tunes, good staff, good food, and nice selection of beer. They had free pool when i went i dont know if its always free but it was for happy hour. The wings were great and fairly priced in this economy. Well done! well done indeed. Keep it up. I will be coming back on the late night to see what the local trim is looking like. Oh yeah one other thing. The tunes. they were great.

Great food, good beer, and fair prices. Cool environment. Historical building. People working there were genuine and helpful. Has pool tables and large spacious areas that are intimate, but also tables and high tops. The french fries were particularly special.

You love beer - great! You love the atmosphere - great! Kiwi and Kangaroo is the place for you! This cute beer garden is more than a pub; it's a restaurant with plenty of pub-style fairs that will please even the pickiest of eaters. The menus and drink selection are large. The outdoor area is quaint and dog-friendly. Our bartender was kind and allowed us to sample beers to select an appropriate drink for the afternoon. The only downside is parking, but if you find a spot, bring some friends and a board game; you're certain to have a great time! :)

Love it! The Tim Tam Slam is delicious. Also love the Your Brother's Cousin. As far as food goes, I recommend the chicken schnitzel or the lamb sandwich. Minors can dine in in a designated area with their parent/guardian.

We came here for HH after driving by a few times and wondering about this place for a while. It looked interesting from the street, and I loved that they repurposed an old library. We sat at the bar since it was so empty the weekday we went, and the bartender was amazing. He gave us a backstory on the place. Apparently, it used to be a French restaurant, and the place gets packed for Rugby Matches, Formula 1, and a few other Sports events. According to the bartender, it used to be a big U Dub spot before Covid, but now primarily brings in Canadians and Aussies, of course. Their brunch is also a big hit. We ordered HH: -Chili - this was pretty basic, nothing out of this world -Chicken Tenders - these were bomb, highly recommend -Meat Pie - This was also nothing super impressive -Fried Cheese Curds -I highly recommend you order these, so yum! Two local draft beers (can't remember which) A few other businesses share the space upstairs, and they have hella bathrooms! They also have a patio outside, which gets nice in warm weather. We will 100% be back. We really liked the place's chill, casual vibe.

Been there once and it took more than 30 min on a Sunday around 2pm to get a couple of burgers. They were overcooked. The waiter forgot to bring the tableware. Since you pay and tip in advance, well here goes a 23% tip... Fries were good. My beer was okay. I won't recommend this business for eating.

Went to lunch the other day here for the first time based on Yelp reviews as well as a Tuesday lunch special I saw for an $8 burger and fries. Really cool spot in Ballard right on the main drag. Full bar and good looking menu. Of course it's an Australian themed bar/restaurant so they have lots of authentic dishes on the menu if that's what you are looking for. Sat at the bar and service was good. $8 burger was decent for an $8 burger. I will definitely go back here.

What an awesome restaurant and bar in Ballard! The service was spot on with very attentive bartenders and other staff. The drinks were perfectly crafted and the food was delicious, especially the cheese curds. There were a lot of options here and a fantastic space out back with Cornhole. It was a fantastic time and can't wait to come back soon!

We planned on having my wife's aunt and uncle meet us in Ballard for dinner with her friend and then taking us to Sea Tac for our Red Eye flight. I saw this place on Yelp and Google Maps which looked cool and was suitable for my wife's Australia obsession due to Mel the Koala being her favorite Beanie Baby (which we brought here). On a Sunday evening in mid-November it was loud and crowded but the service is fast and friendly. We luckily found a table for five of us in the side room. My wife and I had shared Cheese Curds, a Big Kiwi Burger, and a Loaded Pie. We ended up taking bacon off (I accidentally told my wife the wrong pie) and the kiwi burger had bacon and eggs even though the menu did not come with bacon. My wife's aunt and uncle also shared a salad which was large enough to share. I'm sure they would have redone it but we had to get to the airport for our flight. We definitely had more than enough food and the beer was great and my wife and I shared both the Mac & Jack's African Amber and the Lucky Envelope Peanut Butter Cream Stout. I would not recommend this place for those with sensitive asthma as my wife's friend had an asthma attack which improved by stepping outside. Overall this is a great place with unique food, brews, and vibes in a historic library.

We ordered the Classic Sydney Salad (for me) and the Aussie Sausage Roll with Chips, Beans, and Gravy (for my husband) for our main dishes tonight. We got a to-go order. We ordered the NZ lamb sandwich for our shared appetizer. The staff kindly substituted lettuce for bread on this sandwich, since gluten has the potential to badly affect a medical condition that I have. We got a bottle of Pinot Noir that we thought was sourced from Australia based on the menu information, but it ended up being sourced from New Zealand. I liked that the wine menu had 4 wine options that were sourced from Australia (or possibly from NZ instead, apparently). I really wanted to love this place. Love the name, love the Australia/New Zealand theme, love the location, love the building. However, I didn't love the food, and overall nothing really stood out about the service one way or the other. It also smelled pretty bad in there, a mix of beer and urine smells. I recognize that this is a pub and not a fine dining establishment, though, so I chose my star rating with that in mind. For pub food (and please keep in mind that I haven't been to many pubs overall, so I don't have a vast basis for comparison), it was maybe a bit better than average. My Classic Sydney Salad was decent. The dressing was pleasantly tangy, and I think I could taste a fairly good balsamic in it. The vegetables were fresh, and the portion size was fine. I didn't eat more than about a quarter of it, though, and I'm hungry. Just couldn't muster the motivation to continue eating it. I wasn't a fan of the lamb sandwich, and I didn't end up eating more than a couple of bites of that. The lamb started off tasting okay, but as I kept chewing it I made a bit of a grimace and didn't want to eat any more of it. It tasted worse and worse to me the more I chewed it. And I hate to say this, but I actually spit out my first bite of a fry - the texture was odd, kind of a bit mushy, but the flavor was very bland as well. I tried three more fries, but all 3 of them met the same fate. I don't often eat fries, but I do usually like fries well enough. My husband thought his Aussie sausage roll was quite good in terms of taste and texture. I really wanted to like something in our dinner from here, so I took a tiny bite out of the middle of his sausage roll. Relief washed over me, since it actually tasted really flavorful. Because I am gluten free and the sausage is enveloped in a huge amount of puff pastry, I couldn't eat any more of it, in order to respect my gluten avoidance. But, I would've eaten more of the sausage roll if I could've, and the texture of the puff pastry looked flaky and lovely, and it was an enticing golden brown in color. My husband and I stopped by this pub tonight because I ended up spontaneously buying Kangaroo Onesies for us to wear this Halloween, and then I ran with the Australian theme a bit and we special ordered small individually-wrapped Caramello Cadbury chocolates with Koalas on them, sourced from Australia, for our Halloween candy for trick-or-treaters this year. We also ordered a cute little Koala hood-hat for our cat, and we bought a small stuffed kangaroo to put next to our Halloween candy bowl tomorrow night. When I found out about this pub, I was delighted that there is an Australian-themed restaurant in our area. Unfortunately I wasn't super happy with our experience here, but I'm giving 4 stars because most of my complaints are fairly minor and I do understand that having excessively high expectations for pub food just isn't realistic. I wish this business well, and I think it is a fun and unique addition to the Ballard restaurant scene.

I love the vibes at this place. Every time I go here it's always really fun and hyped up. The drinks are pretty good too!

We were wandering the streets of Ballard and happened on this funky looking place. The waiter was pleasant and welcoming and the food seemed imaginative so we gave it a try. The food was all star quality but the fried cauliflower was the star. All in all a great experience.

Quick and easy with Angry Mario! Truly guys. It's The most Mid food. Everything taste like Costco Frozen products but aye it's a bar. Not too bad! It was Hot and not too oily which was a plus! In conclusion come here if your planning to drink a bit

I've been wanting to come here for years! I'm glad they show the out of town sporting events so it's now in the viewing rotation! We basically got our own room and the TV to ourselves. The beer and cocktail list is massive, but sadly the draft lines were down, so all they had available were some of their bottles and cans. We still made do, and enjoyed them along some snacks of Poutine and sweet potato fries. They had a huge food menu available so make sure to arrive hungry. The Full Aussie Breakfast has my name on it for the next time The two guys behind the bar were a bit cheeky, but really nice and checked in on us periodically. Would definitely go back and sit on their patio, enjoying food and bev in the sunshine. Maybe not on a Sunday morning though as to avoid the Farmer's Market happening a few blocks over.

We came here on an off-night for some wings and beers. I have to imagine that the appeal of this restaurant is to watch the game or participate in trivia or any other event. The service was kind but slow (understaffed) and the restaurant was so unbelievably dirty - the kind of dirty that makes you wary of the state of the kitchen. We won't come back but wouldn't judge anyone that did.

This is a loud, busy bar that feels like a frat house. If that is your vibe, you love it! Sticky floors galore. Or... venture outside for some respite. Bottom line: Not my jam but did bring me back...

Drinks are good. The problem with this place is it's restrooms. They smell like a third world country public toilet. I smelled urine even while at the bar.

Cool spot in Ballard - used to be a library! There are different zones with lots of seating. They have Trivia on Wednesdays which is pretty fun, pool and shuffleboard, good food and drinks, and friendly quick service. Definitely check it out.

Thanks for hosting the free poker tournament and for having such a welcoming and friendly environment. Staff was excellent too! I look forward to trying the food next week! I loved checking out the sports decor too!

One of our fave bars (especially for Coug games)!! So good for groups and in the summer they have a dog friendly patio! They also have pool and shuffleboard. Robin was our bartender on a pretty busy Saturday and she rocked it! I never thought I was waiting a long time. They have delicious speciality drinks. The "Bloody Wanker" and "Your Brothers Cousin" were sooooo delish. I also love how they have so many ciders! Bars usually don't have alot of ciders and here you can literally get a different one every time and never have something twice.

Always walked by and decided to check out their Happy Hour menu today! I can't believe they have such a big selections on their $5 menu like cheeseburger, nacho etc.. I can't believe it is in Ballard!?? Can't wait to come back again for more!

This place is super gross and lame. No cap. Why would any smart college kid come here on a weekend?? Security was laughable and took forever to get a drink with some random hair in it. The one waitress girl was joking that the floors and walls were covered in dried up vomit. Hard pass.

It's a pub so I did not have high expectations, but the food is better than I expected. We came here for their Monday's happy hour with 50 cent wings. You have to order at the bar and seat yourself. The food comes out relatively fast. The wings were smaller than expected but overall not bad; it is more on the dry side that I used ranch/sauce to balance it out. Their Caesar salad has penne pasta in it which was new to me; taste like a salad but more filling because of the pasta. Their sausage roll was not bad and it comes with fries/beans.

We didn't see Crocodile Dundee or eat shrimp on the Barbie at Kangaroo & Kiwi when I went there with a running club recently. We did, however, have a hearty brunch after a nice Saturday run. But first, understand that K&K is a fun pub for people who like to go out and have a strong drink or two and eat some food. It's also a good place to go watch sports, especially European soccer. The UEFA final took place on the day we went, so the bar was pretty full early on. There is no waitstaff that comes to your table to get your order. You order everything at the bar, as is the norm in many other establishments. So, if you get there early, you can get your food and drink pretty quickly. Come in later, and you'll have to wait in line to order. Either way, once your order, the service is pretty efficient. The Bloody Marys were spicy, thick and good by almost any standard, but there was too much ice in them. A couple of us had a hard time drinking with all the ice in them. Other people in our party had whiskey and beer--just the traditional breakfast beverages. The food. We ordered a variety of dishes--the Aussie avocado smash (pictured): The guac was decent, not bad, not great. But it was good enough after running six miles. The poached eggs were a nice infusion protein. The brekkie pies were were filling, but the bacon was a bit limp. Not undercooked, just not crispy as most people who were at our table like it. The cobbler was also good--the diner who ordered it didn't finish it. It was a nicely sized dish for the occasion. The ambience is rustic, and the building itself has a lot of character. People go there to drink and have fun, so the atmosphere is pretty lively. I would, and probably will, go back to K&K. It's a matter of expectations: don't go in thinking you're entering a fine dining establishment, and you'll be fine. Have a drink and meet some people and enjoy yourself.

Before COVID, I enjoyed this place more because they had board games and fireplaces going when it's cold inside. Ever since they started keeping their windows open even during winter, it's been pretty miserable hanging out for too long here. I try to keep my visit very short. I've never had trouble finding seating here and have actually been quite lucky in that regard because they do fill up quickly. There are generally 2 kinds of people who frequent the place - older guys coming for the sports and younger large groups for the atmosphere and space. I wouldn't order food here unless I was getting desperate, but they have a large variety of options to choose from for whatever you want - sandwiches, burgers, tacos, fish and chips, etc. I keep forgetting how bad the fish and chips are. The last time I went, the dish was basically all soggy batter. My other picture from before shows more darker color, so maybe it depends on the day and is a hit or miss. We come here for the space and ginger beer anyway. We like crabbies, which they have sold off and on, but always have some sort of ginger beer.

A great bar in a cool venue that allows children early in the day! There are rooms that can be reserved for special events and there is also a full kitchen for any snacks you might like.

Legit Aussie/kiwi establishment!!! Having an Australian wife, We can't wait to go back!

Love the chill atmosphere of this place. It has a nice sunny patio and a cozy inside for the winters. It's a little grungy and can get super crowded on the weekends but otherwise it's a staple.

While we had originally planned on going elsewhere in the neighborhood, I'm happy that we ended up at Kangaroo & Kiwi. It was a fun bar, with a great (and dog friendly!!!) patio. Solid beer selection, tasty food. I'd definitely return. As an Australian-owned business, the menu def reflects that. I was impressed to see things like lamb chops on the menu, but I went for the relatively more casual steak sandwich. It was really good! It came out medium, and if I had been asked I'd probably have wanted it a little less cooked, but it still had a great flavor. The fries on the side were pretty blah, but whatever. I think you could select other options? Large beer selection, though I stuck with a local pilsner. The patio was the biggest draw for us. First, it's huge! So much seating, wrapping around the whole building. They have it nicely partitioned off with plexiglass so that you have a little more separation and security. You scan a code to order, but still pay your server. Pretty good system, all things considered. I really like this bar. I'd definitely enjoy another sunny day on their patio.

My husband and I have walked past this place a lot and were so curious about the place. The place looks cool... usually has a decent amount of people outside in their patio on the weekends during brunch, they advertise cheap prices of food throughout the week. So we went on a Saturday around 11:30. Completely empty! We ordered at the bar and sat outside. The food did take over 20 min which was a surprise since no one was really there. Our server maybe was new or didn't care about his job lol but he didn't know which items of the plates he was serving to us. He was sweet just came off like he didn't know anything. The steak breakfast dish was very dry but my husband enjoyed it. And I got the avocado smash which was nothing special, and had no taste to it really. For 3 breakfast entrees, it cost over $45, which is standard these days. I think the ambience is fun but the food here is so so.

The bartender in the beanie was giving so much attitude for no reason. He completely ruined my mood:(

Food and drinks were good! Only complaint was the fish and chips came with one big ol fish instead of smaller 2-3 sized ones. Either way their sauces are amazing. The place is pretty big, the seat I was at did not have cover or heat unfortunately. I'd come back!

I love Kangaroo & Kiwi!! What's not to like?! Great food. Good service. Good beer. The old library building K&K resides in is super cool! They have done a really good job putting up plexiglass partitions to keep customers social distanced. They have heat lamps and warming pads on the outdoor benches so your butt doesn't turn to an icicle! You can bring your dog or kids here. There is great people watching along Market Street in Ballard. I always get good vibes when I go to to K&K! I would consider it a hip dive bar with good food and fair prices. The unique menu offerings add some extra pizzazz to K&K! The poutine fries are super yummy! Comes with lots of melty stretchy provolone cheese and yummy brown gravy! We asked for extra gravy and they brought out a sizeable steamy cup for us without question. Really, really tasty and not served at too many places around Seattle. Another unique and delicious menu item I had to try is the lamb cutlets. They are served like little lambchops, each one on a little bone so they are really easy to eat (with fingers right off the bone). They are well seasoned (not overly), super soft, and tender. Knife not needed to chow down on these morsels. Served with steak fries and I added a side salad to my plate. This was the perfect dish to go with a couple draft beers. They have plenty of other bar food offerings as well! Something for everyone! Thanks Kangaroo & Kiwi!! See you next time!! Of course I'll be back!!

Me and my friend came on a Friday night. I loved that it was in an old library building. It wasn't too busy and we were able to find a nice seat on the patio. We only got drinks, the Harry Styles and a Paloma which were both on their chalkboard outside and inside. We both enjoyed our drinks and they were $10-$11. We didn't order food but it smelled and looked delicious so we will come back for that. We had a server come up to us once saying we could order refills with her but we were never able to order through her. So we had to go inside and wait at the bar line twice which took a bit of time.

I love the outside of this pub! It's a little worn down due to COVID, but the tagging up front should not deter anyone from joining the party inside. My friend and I went out to Kangaroo & Kiwi when inside dining was prohibited so we hung out in the charming tents and ordered fish and chips to go with our beer. The food was good, the beer was delicious, and the vibe of the place was fantastic.

A chill pub in downtown Ballard -- gets pretty crowded on a Saturday night and also has a small dance floor for the weekend. The vibe is definitely eclectic, but there are tons of tables inside and outside. I would recommend getting a beer tower to share! The staff are all super sweet and everything is decently-priced. I got a pear cider which I liked! Music gets pretty loud on the weekends, so wouldn't recommend coming here for a chiller night since it's hard to hear the people next to you.

Ok I admit I haven't been here since they moved to Ballard. I had been to the Aurora where they were located years ago. I had a mani in the neighborhood and a friend I had plans to meet up suggested here which worked perfectly since it was on the way home and about five blocks away. I remember when they first opened thy didn't serve food but knew things had changed since then. My friend and I both had ciders I tried the strawberry hibiscus mostly cause I'm a sucker for anything hibiscus. I appreciated that the bartender asked me if I wanted a taste before buying a full pint. You order at the counter and are given your drink right away if you order food they give you a number and deliver the food to your table. My friend had already ordered sweet potato fries and the ZEALAND LAMB CUTLETS - Three grilled cutlets served with mixed greens, gravy, mint sauce. The food came out hot temperature wise which is a plus to me nothing I hate worse than dishes not coming out the temperature they should be served at. The lamb cutlets were the the surprise so tender and great flavor. I love that the HH was on Saturday as well. Definitely will not put off returning.

$71 for having to go to the bar to Oder food & drinks! Drinks were watered down. Had a "Bloody Maven" w/ regular not pepper vodka. I believe there was no vodka in this drink. Food was very meh. We weren't offered any water though other tables were equipped w/ water glasses. They really need to up their game.

Awful. Called about ordering wings. They asked for me to hold. A whole 5 minutes later they came back and asked what I wanted. They were very surprised I was still on the line. I then asked for their wings as it was a happy hour special. They said their wings won't be ready for another 30 minutes (after happy hour) as they need to be defrosted because they ran out of them yesterday. I said "no problem. Can I order the wings now and come when the wings are ready and still get the happy hour price?" They replied with NO. It's pretty convenient how they only decided to defrost the wings AFTER happy hour ended. They had a whole day to prepare the wings and waited until the deal was over.....

Take my review with a grain of salt. I hate crowds and excessive loud noises. On a Friday or Saturday night this place draws in UW kids like a magnet and they bring out bouncers to keep crowds in check...pass. So this review is based on the midday breaks or long lunches I take here. First, you really won't find a bar or any place in Ballard that has this sort of outdoors seating and patio like area. It's spacious and comfortable and even without restrictions you don't feel packed in like sardines. Simply order at the bar and people watch to your hearts content. You are elevated off the main street so you don't get the clutter and it's a calming experience. They have spacious indoors as well Secondly, the food is fast and made to what you expect. You go to a bar for bar food and here it doesn't hurt that it's great as well. Never had an issue when I just want a nice burger or something greasy. Lastly, the drinks are great and friends who like mixed drinks won't be disappointed either. Their beer rotates enough or hits the local standard where you won't be disappointed. Things you may not like? They don't really have a sit at bar vibe, seriously go outside. Weekends are intense. Bartenders aren't really there to be your new found buddy.

Don't sleep on this place. Weekend Brunch is the real deal. We've tried 4 other breakfast places ranging in price, specialty and atmosphere. It is game and trivia night heaven to some, but our new brunch home. Simple, straight-forward and perfectly prepared. Well proportioned. 5 stars.

Great social bar on the weekends! Their burgers, fries and salads are very good! With a dog friendly patio it's a great neighborhood spot to hang out!

Came in for a daily special before work so no drinking but the server was still VERY attentive and polite. Food was of quality and the place just has a really cool layout and vibe. Definitely will be going back to actually drink some time

They've got a killer happy hour and good selection of drinks in a nice open dining area. Service people are very friendly. Great cheeseburger, huge portion of nachos, I'd recommend bbq wings if you go on Mondays.

this place is horrible. they took my friend's real id and i went up to go negotiate with the bouncer and she wouldn't allow her to get her id back. when we went in, we were not offered any services and waited at the bar for 30 minutes. this place is horrible. the bouncer completely mocked us and made us feel unwelcome even though she was the same age as us.

It amazes me how many people I know who hang out at this bar, and it turns out I even know a girl who works here... I just found that out today. Crazy, right? I typically come here on Tuesdays for the $6 burger and fries special. K&K usually has a lot of good bottled sour beers, including the Mollusk Cherry Sour. Can't beat that. They've got a pool table, lots of great food, and just about any European sports ball game that tickles your fancy. The owner's a friendly chap, too; I see him occasionally at Thunderbird Tavern. Watch out for the Wednesday night trivia crowd; they're ruthless.

Fun bar. Really really delicious wraps and fries. If you make it out to this area check it out.

Bartender will change the prices and over charge. And then when you ask about the price he will lie to your face and say oh no there's a new price you can look at it online. I pointed out the big 5 foot sign out front with all the prices listed and the bartender wouldn't honor those prices. Then the bartender ran away and wouldn't talk to me anymore. Later I looked at the website and saw that all the prices online match what's posted outside. Check your tabs - the bartenders really dishonest. The other bartender, she never washes her hands. Instead of using two hands to pour a pint, she would hold the glass and pull the tap handle with one hand. Problem is she's really small, so to do that she has to put her dirty ass hand around the lip of the glass to be able to reach the tap handle and hold the glass at the same time. I watched her clear and scraping dirty plates, do this pour and hand it off to the other bartender and then go back to the dirty dishes and do this multiple times to people's glasses . Never once washing her hands. This place is disgusting.

I had a pretty chill time here. My friend and I were just walking around Ballard when we passed this place on a Friday night. It was loud and lively so we figured - why not check it out? LOCATION & PARKING // This place looks pretty large on the outside. It's near the movie theatre in downtown Ballard. Parking can be hit or miss but I arrived around 6pm on a Friday and I found parking easily. SERVICE // Service here was standard. I didn't wait too long to order a drink at the bar and the entire ordering process was easy. I appreciated that a lot. AMBIANCE // This reminds me of a college bar. There are a ton of folks in their 20s, I had to kind of scream/talk loudly to hold a conversation inside, and the bathroom was filled with stickers and writing on the wall. I kind of loved it. DRINK // I got the Watermelon Wheat Ale (in a can). Pretty tasty stuff and it was the perfect "let's grab a quick drink" choice. OVERALL // 4 stars I liked it here and I'll be back! I haven't tried the food though...

Came in yesterday because we were intrigued by the gorgeous building. This is a perfect bar setting. Bartender (who I'm guessing is the owner) was great, drinks were good and the chicken wings were chefs kiss! Such a laid back place, fire place was on and gave such a great cozy feel. Lots of beautiful natural lighting even on a rainy day. We love it here can't wait to visit again.

Dog friendly on their patio. While not my favorite pub in town, this is one of the best options to spread out and bring your pup along to enjoy a drink in the beer garden. During summer there is a large amount of space, including some out back which is quieter. The draft list usually isn't the most creative and it can be a bit overpriced for a beer, but it's the location that you're paying for.

DO NOT ORDER CHEESY PIZZA ROLLS HERE. I went here on the Labor Day weekend with my husband, and we unfortunately ordered their pizza rolls. The rolls were so hot that both me and my husband severely BURNT our lips and some sauce short our landing my hand and my legs which were also burnt. Bu design pizza roll will push really hot sauce out. Our server did give sis some ice chips when asked and wrote it off our check but it just seems like a hazard. I really really hope they either earn customers or take this menu item off. I really think the food here is tasty and ambience is nice but please don't order their pizza rolls.

How is this restaurant still open? My bank account alerted me of fraudulent charges by this sham of an establishment. Absolutely appaling that they've gotten away with double billing and over tipping for 20 years! DO NOT GIVE THIS HORRIFIC PLACE YOUR BUSINESS UNLESS YOU LIKE BEING STOLEN FROM!
