SO. GOOD.
I don't understand how anybody would feel less than ecstatic about eating here. The entire staff is polite, funny, and efficient. The food is top-notch. And where else are you gonna get white bean hummus, potato tacos, and fried game hens at the same place? I'm such a fan. Can't wait to go back.
It pains me to update this and drop a star. They have taken yet another of my favorites off the menu. They took my beloved toro furioso taco off the menu. I can't begin to describe the disappointment.
Also, tonight, our waiter had zero personality and bordered on just plain grouchy. He said the chef wouldn't make any changes, so don't even bother to ask. I believe the specific list was, "You can't add bacon to anything, you can't have ranch dressing, and  we don't have tomato slices." This was in response to one guest asking for tomato to be added to her chicken sandwich. My other friend basically trembled when she asked for pickles to be put on her burger.
Plus, they raised their prices and now things feel overpriced. I got a burger, a cup of soup, and a soda and paid $30.
So, yeah. Not the place it once was, which makes me really sad.
Great place and great food. Â Unfortunately, when we got there at one on a Sunday, some of that food was not available, including hash and sourdough bread. Â Also, the space is really noisy. Â I really liked their brunch and they make even the most basic breakfast exciting, including adding mango to the fruit salad, and the home fries are like super skinny french fries. Â Yum!
Review Source:I like Five Horses Tavern.  The food is more eclectic than the other Davis Square bars -- Pork belly, duck, tater tots, mac & cheese, and lamb all in one place! Yum Yum!  It's menu  changes a bit, but everything I've ever tried is delicious. It has the bar feel of a Burren or Joshua Tree, but the food and prices of a Foundry or Posto.  Thus, the two reasons I don't go there more often.  It's a little pricey, and it is LOUD and cramped.  It's hard to carry on a conversation and even harder to maneuver yourself out of your table without bumping into someone.  I would check it out during non-peak hours if you are catching up with a friend or are on a date.
Review Source:Oh man, Soooooo much plad.
If you like good food and a Huge beer list this is a good place to start. The food is great especially their tacos. Ive tried almost everything on the menu and the only thing I didn't like is the brussle sprouts. Special mention should go out to their Potato Pizza it's pretty great.
I think there has been a change in management because the food is getting better. Â We can for brunch and it was decent but then returned later in the week and their dinner was great! Â I had the Pea Diddy salad and it was fresh and delicious. Â Still underwhelmed by their wine list but the beer list was impressive. Â Servers are great and its nice to sit outdoors.
Review Source:I've only been here for brunch but it was solid. I had the Paula Deen (cheesy grits with 2 eggs and crispy pork belly) while others at the table got the chimichanga and the Fatboy (a breakfast burger with an egg and Canadian bacon on it). Everyone was happy with their food. The Icebox cocktail was a blend of iced coffee and liquor, and was delicious. Would definitely go back, as the service was friendly and quick. Outdoor seating is limited but the dining area inside is very nice.
Review Source:I had only been here for beers and cocktails a few times, but then some friends and I went for brunch one Sunday. It was a little chaotic getting seated, and it was unclear who was in charge of manning the front desk and seating people. However, we were eventually seated. The service was a little slow and seemed on the "newer" side, in that they seemed confused and not that confident about what they were doing.
The food itself was SPECTACULAR. I got the Paula Deen grits with eggs and pork belly, and I loved every bite.
My biggest complaint about this place is that their coffee/tea selection is lacking. At Sunday brunch, I like nothing more than a latte. Sadly, no milk steamers or espresso makers in this joint. Fine, I told them I would just settle with coffee with skim milk. Nope, they only carry cream. Darn. A similar thing happened to my dining companion who wanted chamomile tea. All they had was Lipton's regular and Lipton's decaf. I realize that it's a bar primarily and not as much a brunch place, but I would have appreciated some more variety in the hot drinks!
Otherwise, scrumptious food.
Great beer selection and VERY helpful, extremely informative and patient waitstaff. Had a
baby there without any problems as well.
We went on a super busy day and they ran out of a number of items on the menu and beer list. Nonetheless everything was great. The chili was really quite delicious.
oh and warning - when they say spice, they mean the kind of spice only people who've grown up popping chili pepper as candy or licking gochujang off of pacifiers kind of spicy. But full disclosure, I am a medium weight when it comes to spice.
My wife and I went for lunch and ordered from the brunch menu. We shared an appetizer of fried chicken tenders. They were crisp, well seasoned, and accompanied by two excellent sauces. My wife had the "breaky sammy," which fortunately was much better than its name. My chicken fried steak sandwich didn't exactly fit its name, as the steak was more marinated than fried. The flavors, though, were incredibly well balanced, and the crispy onions added a pleasant crunch. We were both very impressed overall, and the dinner menu we saw posted left us looking forward to our next visit.
Review Source:Great food, great drink selection, good atmosphere and conveniently located in Davis Square. I've been there for drinks and for brunch on a Saturday morning. The place can get pretty busy so it is hard sometimes to get a seat at the bar especially on the weekends. Servers and bartenders are friendly. There buttermilk fried chicken tenders are the bomb definitely recommend those!
For brunch I got there "the cap'n" ($12); It's cap'n crunch coated French toast sticks with raspberry coulis, 100% maple syrup, powdered sugar and comes with a fruit salad on the side. If you're looking for something sweet for bfast I would totally recommend this, it's sweet but not too sweet and for $12 who could go wrong! A person who was sitting next to us got baked oatmeal and that looked awesome too!
Been here a few times and it's a pretty sweet spot with a great vibe! You should check it out if you can! :)
I came here for a quick bite on a Friday around 6:30 PM. Â We were just early enough to beat the crowd, so there was no wait.
Our server was pleasant. Â The drink selection is pretty good. Â The environment is fine - about what you'd expect from an upscale pub-type place. Â And the menu LOOKS awesome. Â Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. Â We got the burger, the white bean dip and the 'banzo cakes (fried chickpea cakes). Â The burger wasn't very good - it came on one of those cheap buns that tasted like Wonderbread and the tater tots seemed like they were frozen. Â The white bean dip was ok, but nothing special. Â It seemed like a few dollops of hummus for $8. Â The 'banzo cakes were probably the best thing we had, but they were super greasy. Â
Overall, a disappointing meal, especially for $70! (including drinks). Â Won't be back.
Went here for brunch on a Saturday, around 1pm. Â The place was packed. Â You should definitely think about making a reservation. Â The menu was solid, there was a brunch menu in addition to the regular menu which is a definite plus, no need to worry about being limited to 10 or fewer selections like many places offer during brunch.
Everyone in my party spoke highly of the food, with out food choices spanning the gamut. Â Chimichanga, Fried Chicken w/ Sausage Gravy, Tavern Burger, as well as the more usual breakfast options went over well at our table.
I'd definitely return here.
Five Horses may have hooked me. Â Stopped in for a quick bite before a Saturday evening out. Â Was intrigued by the double-level setup, especially the double level bar - just something about that visual that struck me. Â Great beer list, although they had just kicked the draft that i was looking for - found a suitable replacement. Â My girlfriend ordered a hard cider and the waitress offered to let her taste a bit first, given that it had a distinctive/dry setup and high ABV.
I ordered the fried chicken pizza, which reminded me of many of the same flavors of chicken and waffles (a huge compliment coming from me). Â I also snagged more tater tots from my girlfriend's plate than i would like to admit, and she reported that her burger was excellent.
Can't believe it's taken me this long to check out Five Horses - will certainly be back.
I came here with my boyfriend and his grandparents on a Wednesday night. We've tried weekend nights, but usually the place is packed with lines going out the door. Today we were lucky; there was no wait, and they were extra careful about my boyfriend and I being under 21 years of age.
The menu is an eclectic mix that lack cohesiveness; I would say that this is a weakness. You find interesting tacos. Mac-and-cheese. Calamari. Standard steak, fish, and chicken fare. Pizzas. Wait, is that oxtail pizza? Yes. Yes it is. Most of it is American with some kind of ethnic twist.
We started with the calamari appetizer, which came in a round bowl. My first impression wasn't good, as it just seemed drenched in some kind of sauce, making the squid appear kind of wilted. Upon first bite, it was overpowered by citrus, making me think that they had perhaps overdone it on the lime juice. But the more I ate, the more I was intrigued by the flavors: defintely some Asian influence, some mango, some fish sauce, maybe. Really delicious actually.
I ended up ordering one each of their tacos (tuna, sparerib, and pork belly). The tuna one could have used a little more flavor. The sparerib one was SPICY. I am a girl who can handle her spice without flinching, but this one made my eyes water, and I was extremely surprised to be handling this kind of spice in an American restaurant.
I am extremely intrigued by the menu; I'd like to come back and order more. The dishes were tasty, the restaurant nice and trendy-looking. Definitely a re-visit.
Walk in after 7 on a Saturday, and good luck getting a table without having to wait at least half an hour. This place is popular, and deservedly so. Five Horses Tavern serves up some of the most delicious, hearty, and creative pub food around. It's also surprisingly affordable. My awesome roommate (and life-long BFF) treated me to dinner, which ran her just under $50 pre-tax and tip. And, gasp, we even had leftovers!
The only problem with Five Horses, aside from the wait, is a menu so chock-full of delicious-sounding items that makes ordering downright agonizing. In the end, my roommate and I settled on a few appetizers, a sandwich, and some bread pudding for dessert. All the savory courses came out at the same time, and it was truly a sight to behold. The highlights for me were the brussels sprouts (huge suckers served with pickled apple, mushrooms, and PORK BELLY, all sauteed in a delicious fish sauce vinaigrette) and the Showstopper (a pulled pork and chicken liver mousse sandwich that lived up to its name and then some).
I can only imagine how much MORE I would love Five Horses if I were a beer fan. I really envy you beer-drinkers sometimes, but then I look at my gut and I'm thankful. Given how much I eat already, I don't know if my body could handle it.
We went in here after dinner for some drinks and desert. Â I don't know what the main menu is like, but the drink selection was pretty long and the deserts we ordered were tasty. Â I had a Sangria (which didn't really seem to have much alcohol in it) and a nutella and drunken banana desert. Â Hubby had a scotch (something appropriately stinky to my non trained nose) and apple pie. Â Everything was delicious and the service super friendly. The only complaint was that it was pretty loud - but that just goes to show you that it's a popular place.
Review Source:This place is awesome.
I went here on a Friday night and it was packed and loud. We managed to get a table after 30-45 minutes but had a great selection of beer to choose from while we waited (I had a Troegs amber ale and the Cape Ann Fisherman's Ale). When we were seated, we had great service and great food. I had the goat cheese ricotta/spinach/arugula/black olive pizza which was wonderful. My friends got burgers and salads which were excellent as well. There were five of us and we ended up paying $25 including tip each, I think?
One small disappointment: the braised kale my friend ordered as a side was served in a... pickled? vinegar? something? sauce that really overpowered the kale and made it super soggy. I understand that braising involves a lot of liquid but it was sort of a soggy weird tasting mess... maybe this is what braised kale is supposed to be like?
I decided to have lunch here on my wedding day because it is close to my husband's house. I knew we were going to be on a tight schedule, so I emailed them ahead of time to make sure they could accommodate all of us. They responded back that they would be able to seat us, but not all at the same table, but we would be in the same area. This was fine with me. I took my friends' and family's food orders and sent them over in advance, so that we could stay on schedule.
We arrived at the scheduled time, and they showed us to our tables. When we got to the tables, we saw that they had already placed some of our meals out on the table to just sit there and get cold. Sorry, but I don't want to eat cold food. Also, how were they going to prevent people from walking by and picking at it/sneezing on it/etc?
I also want to mention that these tables were in the bar area. We weren't even given the courtesy of dining room seating.
When I asked what certain dishes were, the food runner could not tell me. Another food runner was bringing food out and when he saw the table with no one sitting at it, he asked his coworker (female, short hair), "where should I put the food?" She answered, "Just put it anywhere. They'll figure it out," We were right there, Â they could have asked us, but instead they just rudely ignored us. Also, it is hard for us to "figure it out" when no one can tell us what meal was what.
When we all went to sit down, we found out we didn't have enough seats. A few party in our party had to sit at the bar.
At one point, I talked to the short-haired female about my meal. I had gotten the exact meal I had before, but with different sides. I asked her, "is it possible to change my sides or is it too late?" She honestly just stared at me for a second and then just walked away without saying a word. I didn't even get a response. She could have said, "Those are the default sides when you don't specify," but I got nothing. Also, if their dishes came with different sides, why didn't they email me back to ask me what everyone wanted for sides? I had sent over our meal orders days in advance. Did they not look at it until the day of?
Nobody came by to take drink orders.
They should have just told me they would not have been able to handle my party, because my experience was unsatisfactory.
I feel the need to update my review due to my previous bashing of the chicken sandwich. Â They must have changed the recipe because when I tried it again, it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! Â The chicken was so moist & juicy, and the honey compliments it very well.
Also, the doorman is awesome. Â He's so friendly & he let me know that my license is expiring this month, which I never would've known otherwise. Â The other staff are great too. Â This place definitely deserves 4 stars!
This is primarily a whisky review.
First I have to say that their whisky list is impressive. It's deep, unique, and interesting. But for a place that prides itself on having an extensive list, complete with notes, the experience disappointed.
We struck out while ordering the Ardbeg Alligator and the Macallan Cask Strength. Finally decided on a Dalmore 1990 Signatory Cask Strength. But long after this was consumed (and enjoyed, for what it's worth), it turns out that's we weren't served the drink we ordered, since they don't actually have the Dalmore 1990, either.
This place might make a fine sports bar, but I might not try to get a drink there any time soon.
So a good friend who loves beer wants to have a birthday dinner and is looking for a place to have dinner with friends, including someone who eats gluten free, a vegetarian, and someone who thinks it's impossible to sustain yourself without bread and meat. Where do you suggest?
In this situation, you could do a lot worse than Five Horses. Huge selection of beers on tap, a wide range of dishes with gluten-free and vegetarian options clearly labeled, and a helpful and friendly staff, and the food is delicious. I've enjoyed nearly everything I've ever eaten here, including the potato tacos, the tofu cuban, the calamari, the tavern chili, and the cheddar jalapeno mashed potatoes.
The one major drawback of coming here is how ridiculously packed it gets on a Friday or Saturday night. Show up any later than 6 on either of those days, and you will be standing around, wishing you'd taken part in that fad diet where you just get sliced in half because that's the only way you could possibly not be taking up too much space. It's also loud as hell with, as far as we could tell, exactly one table, way in the back, quiet enough that you could ever have a conversation with someone you weren't inches away from. Our large group was lucky enough to get that, but until we were seated, it was madness.
Now, I'm pretty cheap, so this is pretty much at the upper end of what I'm usually willing to pay at a restaurant, but that means for most normal people, this is probably average for a night out. Definitely worth it, though my wallet and my ears wouldn't let me make it an every week thing.
I've been to Five Horses Tavern a couple of times for food and a couple of times just for drinks.
Pros: great beer and cocktail menu with good seasonal specials. The food is a definite step above your average pub menu. The mac and cheese is amazing, a must get. The brussel sprouts are some of the best I've had - probably just as unhealthy as the mac and cheese but delicious. The calamari was slightly disappointing - not very crispy and flavorful. The crab cake sandwich was tasty but very small for the price.
Cons: Packed of the weekends and they don't do reservations or call aheads, even for large parties. Also, a bit on the pricey side for what you get. Finally, healthy food options that are at all appealing are limited. Â
I'd recommend Five Horses for drinks during the week and as a place for dinner where you know everyone in your group can find something they'll like to eat. Until they take reservations, I'd avoid weekends.
Honestly had never really been to this area, and I didn't know what to expect from Five Horses Tavern.
A friend and I glanced at the menu, looked good so the hostess brought us over to a table. The first table she tried to seat us at was practically on top of another couple, so we kindly asked to be sat one table over, in which still I was crammed against the wall. I mean I am no toothpick, but I was feeling a little claustrophobic.
This is the part that really confused me, at first we had a female waitress, who got our drinks and everything...then about 15-20 minutes later, my friend and I thought some random guy was trying to make conversation or something but further in to the conversation told us he was our new waiter?! Weird. but okay.
The menu has a lot of vegan/vegetarian options, which I am neither of, and gluten free options as well. BUT I ordered roasted chicken, which was excellent, however the menu neglected to tell me that it was on the bone, which I am not fond of at all. :X Ughh. I Â feel like a cavewoman.
So, I picked around the meat as much as I could, drank my Sangria, which was also good, with that hint of cinnamon they put in, yummm.
However, it's pretty loud and crowded, so if you want a more intimate setting I would suggest going else where. Depends on who you are with, and what you are going for.
We went for brunch and was frankly surprised--its more like 3.5 stars but I have it four to be nice. The menu was vast and the food was really good. The service was just ok but the food made it ok. The food is traditional comfort food with a twist, large portions at good prices. The drinks were also tasty and affordable.
Would go back.
Not really in the mood for pub food I was hesitant to eat here, but OH.MY.WORD. Â I am so glad we did.
We went on President's day, unaware of the brunch they were having, but we did not have to wait to be seated. Â We were brought waters immediately, and given plenty of time to peruse the incredible beer/wine menu! The selection is incredible. Â
I had a Maine Peeper ale, that was fruity and light and made me want summer so bad!
For starters we ordered the calamari, which came with mangos and banana peppers. Â Very different, but delicious. Â I had the pumpkin soup with amaretto biscotti croutons on top- I swear I will be dreaming about that soup!!
We also got the Brie grilled cheese (which I didn't try this time around) and the potato tacos, which I devoured in moments. Â The food is awesome and very unique- this is not your typical pub fare. Â All of their desserts are home made as well, and I highly recommend the "nutella and drunken banana"
Awesome service, wonderful cozy atmosphere and food that exceeded my expectations. Â Yes, we have a new date spot in Davis Square!!! Plus there will ALWAYS be more beers to try!!!
Eaten at the Horse no less than 20 times, so I've got the only breakdown you need. And for all the lovely ladies, I'm gonna rap it - freestyle.
No, no I'm not.
More than just a beer tap chandelier, Five Horses is easy-going, eclectic-enough dining for the Davis crowd. Yes, it's a madhouse on Friday and Saturday nights - a wrap-around beer list and well made cocktails (including, arguably, the best Bulleit Old Fashioned in the square) will do that to you. And yes, on occasion, the service may slide into a frenzy paralleling densely packed patrons clamoring for world class chicken tenders (seriously), thus affecting the consistency of the experience, but as of yet, these are the only negatives.
I circle back to the fried chicken. The KFCGH (Kentucky Fried Cornish Game Hen) is the most balanced, properly seasoned fry in Davis, and I'm a fan of the jalapeño cheddar mashed as a side. But honestly, the biggest deal on the slightly pricey menu is the $9 buttermilk fried chicken tender app - a mountain of golden, crunchy breast chunks with buttermilk scallion ranch and red dragon chile sauce (mix 'em - why not?). Way more substantial than the undersized cut in the fried chicken sammy, and plenty satisfying as a meaty meal on its own. For vegetarians, go for the Pea Diddy, a hearty handful of english peas, avocado and mozz over mesclun greens/ Supposedly includes a basil puree, although I've yet to catch it over the pleasantly sharp vinaigrette.
Another understated experience: the brunch menu. Southern Comfort ($14) layers fried chicken and sunny side up eggs over thyme biscuits and a swimming pool of sausage gravy. Heart, be stopped. Favoring sweet, she typically orders The Cap'n - a certain Crunch cereal coated French toast sticks (bricks, to be precise) served with a raspberry coulis. Wash it down with the Bourbon offering of a Bloody Three Ways: Four Roses and their house mix with a splash of stout sure beats coffee.
To steer clear of the most common woes, you'll only find me here during the off hours. But when you do, I'll most assuredly be smiling over a plate of fried chicken.
This was the first Bar my friends and I went to on Friday to hide from Hurricane/Storm/Shitshow Nemo, and it was the 6th or 7th time overall that I've had the pleasure to experience this place.
They let us in with a warning that they were "closing eventually because of the storm, just not sure when," and with that, we ordered three beers and a pitcher of their Sangria (which one of my friends took half of it to her face like it was the last drop of water in the desert). Drinks are always strong or how you would expect a drink to be made, and the services is 100% awesome. Everyone from the Hosts to the Bartenders are personable and super knowledgeable about their drinks and food.
Oh. Oh, the food. The food is amazing as well. Â I mean, I've only had it while drinking, but I've heard from people that weren't drinking that it's amazing as well, so that means it's solid.
I adore how everyone wears flannel and plaid. Â If I didn't sweat like a mo-fo when doing anything at all (i.e. lifting a pen, talking on the phone, typing this review), I'd totally wear flannel. Everyone here looks like they walked out of an LL Bean catalog.
Sadly we were asked to leave around 5p on the day of Nemo (due to closing, not because we were laughing like hyenas) but since we chugged the rest of the Sangria before bouncing, we left with a warm feeling in our hearts, which we can 100% attribute to The Five Horses.
I am confused about a lot of things in life. Like why is the sky blue? Why do girls grow faster than boys? Why are some people good at math? Why can't I get enough of Five Horses Tavern?
I hate that I am a regular at a place that serves up such delicious fried food. But I loooooove the fried food. The fried chicken salad is my GO TO. Like, every single damn time.
I love the chandelier of all the different beer taps. I hate the fact that I think I can say that I've had every one.
I hate that they have Abita because it reminds me that I'm not in New Orleans.
I love that it's within walking distance of my apt, but I hate that it's within walking distance because I never have an excuse not to go.
My life is so hard.
This will be an average of two trips, one I made for dinner and one for brunch.
The dinner experience was excellent. We seem to have ordered all the right things- my tacos were fantastic and just enough food (I'm glad they let you order fewer than three), and the brussels sprouts appetizer for the table was so good it made me like brussels sprouts. Then again, when you fry anything in that much oil it'll probably taste good, but still. I usually dislike brussels sprouts quite intensely.
The brunch experience was another story. My dining companion was completely satisfied with his plate, but mine was a little lacking. I got the tavern breakfast- hash browns, two eggs, "fresh" fruit, toast. The only item on this plate that was worth the money was the hash browns: they were definitely the best hash browns I've ever had. (They were also fried to a crisp. A theme emerges?)
The eggs, on the other hand, were very underdone; I ordered over easy, and the whites were runny to the point that they were still clear in some places. If you bill yourself as a brunch place, you should know how to cook an egg: there's just no excuse for that. The fruit was very lackluster. I understand it's the middle of winter, but for these prices, I'm sure you can find some creative way around underripe melons and squishy grapes. Maybe apples and citrus, or something more shelf-stable. Figure it out. The toast was toast, and was neither a mark for or against. All in all, it wasn't worth the money for something that, minus the hash, I could have gotten better at home. Or at IHOP.
My bottom line? Check it out for a nice, if a little pricey, dinner. Avoid for brunch.
Five Horses Tavern got me to order a dish called the Paula Deen.
Is this good or bad? I'm still unsure - while I felt like a moron for ordering such a ridiculous named brunch dish, I felt like a spectacular genius after tasting the delicious combination of pork belly, grits, sunny side up egg, and scallions. Hey, for a perfect bowl of grits, I'll call it whatever you want. With a 5H Bloody Mary (extra spicy for me) garnished with sriracha dabbed olives next to my southern belle of a meal and I'm strolling out brunched, full, and happy.
I've stopped in on non-brunching occasions and have generally been pleased. The cocktail menu is short, the whiskey list long, multiple types of moonshine (?), plus some 37 rotating taps. The food offerings are somewhat seasonal, without being too precious about it (no long lists of farm sources for each dish), though the menu is a bit unfocused and far flung. When I ordered the mussels, I was pleased to be greeted with two serious hunks of grilled bread to sop up the broth, though the slices seemed to taste a bit like the gas they were grilled on. I thought this was a fluke, but different visits have yielded the same result, no matter the dish the toast has been served with. The bread itself has always been quite good, but the propane-esque accent does it no favors.
Small toast quibbles aside, the staff at Five Horses has always been a delight in their plaid uniforms. I find myself most comfortable seated at the bar (lower level if you can swing it), but table service has been friendly and accommodating, especially when we had a big group arriving at different times. Overall, a worthwhile neighborhood spot where everyone will have several choices in food and drink at a fairly reasonable price.
OK it's big. It has a fireplace, and it has sidewalk seating and storefront windows that are good for people watching. Decent whiskey selection. Good location.
BUT the consumables need work. The food... is kind of "TGI Fridays with Food Network ambitions."
And the crowd... well, I'm happy that the Tufts fraternities have found their local spot.
Super mediocre brunch place. I Â suggest turning around and heading toward Inman Square to City Girl Cafe if you're looking for some delicious mid morning grub on a lazy weekend.
Prices are high, waiters are not very attentive, and food was uninspired. How do you mess up a baked egg? I'm not sure, but the soupy season-less mess that I ate this morning confirmed that a baked egg can indeed be totally and completely botched while also costing $16.
Only redemption: the manager (I think she was the manager) was great and my Bloody Mary was good too. The decor is nice, but the menu and cooking needs some serious TLC.
Won't be back for brunch.
Ended up here on a quiet Monday night when several other area bars had closed by 10. Hipster-ski-lodge without being pretentious is how I'd sum up the atmosphere. Service was friendly, albeit slow at the end of our visit. Ended up waiting maybe 25 minutes for a check, and just left cash. Oh well.
Steer clear of the Formula for Success cocktail - it tastes like soap. Either that, or there was soap in my drink. Regardless, a bourbon suggested for my second drink was phenomenal. Hands down fantastic, and completely makes up for the first drink.
I want to love this place.
The beer offerings are awesome, the food is fun and good. It's a cool space and service is usually excellent. The problem is that it is so fucking loud. I'm serious. I so wish they would invest in some sound-reduction because between the wood floors and high ceilings, it gets unbearable in there. If I go with my partner we have to sit right next to each other and shout. Any more than 2 people and there's no way conversation can happen.
I love to go sit at the bar and get a snack and beer, and wish I could make it more of a spot to meet up with friends.
