| - My husband and I have come here twice, each time getting drinks and sharing food. They have a great beer list, offer many classic and specialty cocktails, and have a very reasonably (read: nothing fancy) priced wine list. Each time, we both ended up ordering a beer--they always have something new and interesting to try.
There is not much that's veggie-friendly on their menu, even the collard greens and all but one salad have bacon in them! The non-bacon salad is Caesar, which DOES have anchovy paste. Mac-and-cheese is "meh." I wouldn't come here for the food alone, but the H, who is a meat eater, says their burgers are good, as well as the fish and chips. Just a heads-up to the veggies out there that the options are pretty sparse.
I give this place four stars for the service--it's always friendly and right-on. The atmosphere is also really cool--both times I have been, there has been a live jazz group downstairs, but they also show it upstairs on a big TV so everyone can watch/listen.
The menus are in old jazz album covers, bonus points for that! If you're on the north side, you should give James Street a try.
