I really love Dave's, I do. My wife and I have been going regularly since we moved into the neighbourhood. The food is great, and the beer selection is top notch!
What really kept us coming was the staff. We had only gone a handful of times but they remembered who we were and what our drink of choice was.
The Thursday night open mic is also worth catching, although it's a little cramped. Other nights are quieter and laid back, so if you're looking for a place to bring a small group last minute, try Dave's!
