The service by Sasha was great. Didn't care for the Trashcan Nachos as they didn't have a lot too them and were sweeter than we like them; however, they were fun to look at and were a free birthday treat so we're not complainimg. Odd that it's a seat yourself restaurant.

Our group had a wonderful time. The food was delicious, our server was very friendly and we did duck bowling, which was so fun. We had such a good time that we're planning to go back again soon.

We were there on a Sunday afternoon and had really great service. It was my first time and one of my friends had been several so she had loads of recommendations. We all really enjoyed the food and drinks. I know I’ll be back for sure!

Nice pub and fun place. Food a bit salty but overall good. Friendly service and fun place. Credit card payment machine preset minimum 18% and plus tip payment which is not a proper set up.
