Nice, friendly place. We went for lunch due to the rainy day. The food was good, the service was good, and all patrons and staff were very friendly. So glad we stopped!

Amazing local place with an incredible atmosphere and the best wings I have had to date; Blarney sauce is a must try. Great vibes on a Thursday night with live music and football. Bar tender made us feel welcome and had great recommendations. Look forward to going back next time I'm in the area.

Top 3 best wings I've ever had in my life, possibly #1 I'm just still trying to process how this is even possible. This place was an amazing spot to stumble upon. They had live music, kind/fun patrons and all the Bills vibes you could ask for on a football night. Wish I lived closer, can't recommend this place enough. Also, the bar tender was fantastic as well.
