- jm2hiloHilo, HI104 contributionsWe booked in for 7pm on a Tuesday night and we’re welcomed as we came in the door. After signing waivers electronically, we were promptly escorted back to our area. Manuel, a professional axe thrower (did not know that is a thing) coached us on technique and checked on us periodically during our session.
Even though we were the oldest throwers by far and were really bad at it, everyone was welcoming and positive.
Food and beer can be ordered from a server who rotates among all the stations. We did not try the food.
Definitely a fun time regardless of age and skill.Written July 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was my first time being at the venue, but I thought it was on par with what I'm used to in Philly. We parked in a garage near the venue (not sure if there are better options) and didn't buy any drinks. The sound, which can be hit or miss at venues, was good.Written January 9, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- saturdaydinerNewtown, PA348 contributionsWhat a find and what an experience at this classic bar. We came early for dinner at the Lafayette and were sent here for a drink. Perfect martini, nice wine and nice little nuts etc to nibble on at every seat. A step back in time.Written May 31, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Laura B7 contributionsWe wanted to visit an Irish bar and found this one on Google maps. We are so glad we called in.
Inside it looks like an authentic Irish pub. The menu looked good so we also had dinner and the food was beautiful.
The bar have live music every night from 7.30pm so from what was to be a quick drink stop, we ended up being there all night!
The staff were very friendly and welcoming and if you want a good guiness, stop by!Written November 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The lady bartender ( forgot her name ( was cheerful, efficient and gave us spot on tips for restaurants in DC.

- Brunoash26Virginia172 contributionsMy colleagues and I frequently visit this place. The service is excellent and the staff are very friendly. The happy hour is great and we enjoy our time, here just relaxing, having a few drinks and spending time with our friends and colleagues after work. I will continue to visit this place as I love the overall customer experience!Written September 3, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DianeO718New York City, NY11 contributionsWhile visiting Washington, we wanted to get out of the downtown area for something different. Had truly good burgers and fries here, along with a great beer list. Not fancy, just feels like a fun pub. Awesome pickles! No kids' menu, but 8yo liked her burger very much (and 15yo old finished it for her.) Georgetown is strangely quiet by 9 pm so suggest going here much earlier to have full city vibe.Written April 14, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- April TPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania90 contributionsThis was the first stop on my Ivy City distillery crawl. I had a cocktail with peach cardamom and bourbon. Of all the distilleries, their cocktail came in first place.They also had a caterer on site serving hot food in case you needed a snack.Written November 5, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SamUlaanbaatar, Mongolia12,110 contributionsNice outdoor venue ideal for pregame and postgame. There was a live band which was cool too and cold beers to drink as wellWritten September 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- mikekap24Boston, MA58 contributionsThis place is definitely special. It's got a great vibe and I love the live music. Beyond that it's unique - but is that enough?
The menu sounded phenomenal. it was okay. The service was good, the atmosphere was fun, the prices were reasonable - I have no real complaints about our experience here but would I go back? probably not. I can say that I've been there, drank there, ate there - and I think that's enough!Written January 10, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Definitely a cute date idea as wellWritten November 20, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- switzerspointAppleton, Wisconsin96 contributionsWe were staying nearby and stumbled upon the bar our first day. It became our "local" and we went every day we were in town. Outstanding staff, cozy atmosphere downstairs and relaxing outdoors, good menu and drinks. My husband was crazy about the wings and had them repeatedly. Lots of TVs inside playing whatever sports you might enjoy.Written April 14, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JHOlympia, WA66 contributionsGreat bar.
Good selection of quality beer. Service was fantastic each of the multiple times I visited. Very nice ambiance. Clean establishment. Excellent location. Nothing over the top, but they do everything they do well.
Highly recommended.Written August 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We were here on a later weekday evening, and completely enjoyed our time upstairs at a table enjoying a couple of the brews. Our server was very attentive. We didn't have any food, but I believe it comes from the same kitchen as Birch and Barley downstairs....so it's likely very good food here!
I can't wait to return.....Written March 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
