I happened to walk by here a few weeks ago and saw that something was going in this spot, which has been a black hole for restaurants over the years. I happened to walk by again the other night and saw the place was open so decided to try it out last night.
It was a nice night to sit on the patio, and others had the same idea. Not too many people inside but the place is new. The outside patio had a smoking area and a smaller non smoking area. There was no space in the non smoking area, and the bar had no seats so I was thinking of leaving because I really wanted to sit outside. They caught us before we left and found stools for us which I thought was nice.
The beers were interesting, and I am looking forward to a few weeks from now when they start having porters and stouts.
I had the Mac and cheese and it was very good. There was a solid bacon flavor in there and they somehow kept the bacon crispy throughout the dish. Nicely done. My old lady had a pizza which I wasn't crazy about but I am really picky about pizza. So I don't expect much from bar pizza.
The staff was quite nice.
All in all, a good experience. I think I will be back.
