This place is very bare bones. It's a bar and it is a little dive-y. Its pretty cheap to eat here though and believe me you won't leave hungry. It's clearly very much a *regulars* type spot though. Our service was friendly enough but not as friendly as at some of the tables. I'm not bashing. It is what it is.
My husband had chicken parmesan which was actually pretty good. It was very zesty sauce wise and the chicken made him happy. He is always pleased with pasta as a side. It came with choice of soup or salad and his chicken noodle was also a decent choice. The two big breadsticks though? Meh.
He did a little bit better than I did. I liked my fish and chips, well the fish part mostly. The chips aka fries were just ok. The ketchup was in an odd plastic bottle with no top that just was ummm slightly disconcerting. It came with two additional side picks. My salad option was decently tasty but the bean soup was awful, kind of tomato soup with the odd bean. Nice to have three sides total if you are hungry or one is a clunker.
For Belleville it is not too bad at all. We'd go back. The big salads look great as did the pizza.
We decided to go there for our trivia session, since our usual one was not available.  It was nicely laid out and clean enough.  The service was fine, even though more than a few people were there.  We didn't have any food, but what we saw being served looked really good and was reasonable priced.  The portions were "American" sized and the usual bar food.  What I didn't like was the beer selection.  It was heavily weighted toward the macro, especially for anything on draft.  This didn't surprise me, given the clientele, but that's what they like!  The beer prices are very reasonable, as well.  There were quite a few TVs and the place was not too noisy, so  I suspect watching any sports there would be enjoyable.
Review Source:Okay - I have only been there once - so I will give it a 3 for now. But, this has potential to be more.
I'm excited to have another place in Belleville to frequent. This side of the town / area of Van Buren Township needs a business as well.
The interior appears freshly remodeled. I wouldn't say it is overly exciting - but it is a bar. It has a very open format which is good for this type of setting. They have a small stage for live bands (it appears).
The food was very good. When we walked in - they had special posted and there were items that are more than just the greasy bar mix. Example - soups of the day (among others). We tried an assortment to get a feel for things. Burger - observed to be large and my mother n law stated it was very good (which is a feat - as she is picky and complains a lot). Fish Sandwich - one of the better I have had in a restaurant recently. This was not some frozen fish from a bag. It was fresh and flaky. Nachos - a nice starter and tasty. The salsa might be homemade as it was fresh and unique.
They must have their liquor license now (I see previous post) because the bar was operational. I had just gotten back in town on a flight into Metro and a drink was certainly in order.
The staff was very attentive and friendly.
Prices are reasonable.
I have a hunch this place will do well. As a bar - if you can nail the food - that is a good start. I would like to see what a Friday or Saturday night atmosphere is like. That is the only thing really holding back my rating. But, having been in there in the afternoon it was already fairly busy.
I wish this place the best.
