What a great choice for a pre-Panthers game hangout. I mean, the location is far enough from the stadium that people don't really think about it as their first choice but close enough to be less than a 10 minute walk. AND between their drink specials and hearty comfort food, it's perfect.
Yesterday was The Lady and my second time coming here, and the food, like last time, did not disappoint. Although dark inside, there's a large variety of seating between the bar, high tops, tables, and the patio (covered in the winter, yessss). Their drink special of the day was $5 Jameson drinks, which for me, came in the form of a Jameson Ginger and an Irish Mule. Kudos to the bartender who came up with more ideas for me!
Food is elevated but nowhere near pretentious - like the crab gnocchi sitting right next to a hot dog. The Lady and I wanted to share some things so we got the meat and cheese board as well as the vegetable bowl (farro, brussel sprouts, other fall-y type things). Warning, portions are BIG here. They actually split our bowl into 2 separate bowls and it *still* looked like an entree at any other restaurant. Talk about bang for your buck.
Just as a tip, they now validate parking in the nearby garage, so you don't have to deal with uptown hell as much! I'm looking forward to coming back here again on Wednesday, when they have $5 Whiskey nights. Hello, Redbreast.
