Located in the Vons shopping center on Pass, who knew there could be such a cool place. Very "pubby", it's dark, very clean, and very cozy. Not a dive bar, tavern is very much the right name for it.
They had 4 drafts, lots of bottled beer, cocktails, whiskeys, etc -- definitely a nice variety of much the usual fare. The food menu had some interesting things: burger, a housemade veggie burger, 4 kinds of fries, karaage, katsu, and for dessert, freshly made cookies and beignets.
Well, drinks were good, for sure. But the hit -- the food was surprisingly good! Hanging with my buds, we shared the tots/waffle fries combo (with duck fat), and they were super crisp delish. I tried the The Rogue's Burger [$16, 4.5] (Seasoned mixed greens, onion jam, dijon aioli & aged cheddar on brioche) -- would have made an entry into my book "Berger knows Burgers", of course, if Roguelike was around in 2017.
Nice bartenders that were also efficient, it's definitely has all the makings for a cool hang. They started in January in the midst of the pandemic's worst, so basically, operating fully for 6 weeks. What it needs is people, a vibe, energy. C'mon peeps, do your thing.
