We love this place!!! It’s our go to before CAPs games, but recently disappointed with the chicken tenders. I think they changed the offering & not for the better. Would not order them again unless they were back to original recipe with “real” tenders, not chicken breast sliced to resemble tenders…and the breading is crispy. Please bring back the real tenders!!!

I’ll be honest, I went in thinking it would be bland but I’m happy to say the experience was great. The cocktail flight was very well done, the food was elevated pub fare, and the atmosphere was a little corporate but very relaxed. Location is ideal for pre-gaming an event at the Capital One Arena. Service was excellent.
