Food. This is where the food is. Highly recommend NOT going between 4PM and 8PM, especially on a Friday night. It's a complete shitshow then. They do have beer, wine & liquor.

Drinks & Nightlife
Legit food, legit beer, usually not much of a wait, plenty of seating. No reservations, but you can take a group of 8 there and be drinking beers in like 5 minutes.
