Good place for a show. Green room upstairs. The elevator in the back makes load out at night super easy.

First time here, awesome place, good vibes. Drinks were good, place was clean and servers were nice. Parking is impossible, so arrive early or find other means of transportation. There are so many places to eat and drink in the area as well.

Would give this place 0 stars if I could. Staff are terrible and wouldn't recommend going there. Go to the point or Estelle's better places, similar enough selection of beers, and more space to actually move around so that you can enjoy your time.

Nice vibe band was jamming, it was a cool space. A little upset that the sets were over by 12 just seemed a little early to me. But drinks were reasonable and they serve food but I didn't order so don't know how it was.

I found some glass in my nachos. The waiter refused to believe me at first but after he brought it back to the kitchen they saw where they had swept it in my food by accident because of a broken beer glass they had been cleaning up in the process. I don't understand how they would let that happen, even though it was one small shard. No one should ever go to this restaurant to enjoy a show or a get a drink, meal, ANYTHING. The service was quite underwhelming and I got absolutely no discount on my order after explaining what I had found other than a "sorry". Would have given this place

We had a private party here this past Saturday evening and it was fantastic! Terry and the rest of the staff here were great! They made sure we were taken care of the entire night and were there to facilitate everything we needed. They have a really cool event space on the second floor you can rent out and there is a private bar, bathrooms, a photo booth, and a stage for entertainment. Definitely recommend this spot for your next private event or make a stop here for a fun night out! This place is open late which is nice too. The food is surprisingly great for a bar, the chicken and brisket was

Nice restaurant/bar with friendly staff. The upstairs turns into a nice place for events in the evenings.

Came here for Back to the Future trivia on a Tuesday. The bar usually opens at 10pm but for trivia it opens earlier since it starts at 7pm. We got there early to grab a table and had to wait a while before ordering drinks or food as they were just starting to open the bar and the cook was just coming in. The food choices are limited but they are ok. I had the tacos and they were a little dry. Would recommend the mac and cheese though. Towards the end of the night they started running out of beer choices which seemed a bit strange for a place like this. Would come here again but only for trivia

The bar itself leaves a few things to be desired. Service there is pretty crappy it is slow and the bills are often in correct. The food is fairly decent a little pricey but taste good.. Their drinks however are the worse!! No consistency in the pour and on an average night i get a real glass and my drink is larger.
But on Sunday attending the bar to hear Midnight Sun the band my drink comes in this tiny azz plastic cup and cost me a bundle.
Midnight Sun is the Only Reason we attend this venue...they provide a ambiance and a show that is at the top of the performance game. If the bar fixed they

Had a pretty bad experience here, which inspired me to write the first 1-star restaurant review I have ever given. Some of this experience seemed circumstantial and some did not. The only reason I'm writing a negative review is that all of it was avoidable with a bit more culpability and politeness.

Two friends and I showed up at 8pm on a Saturday. The place was not completely packed (several empty tables). My first impression was that the menu was tiny, with almost no real southern or Cajun cuisine nor cocktails on it. Shrimp Po' Boy and that's about it. As someone who has a significant

Food is fantastic! Craw dads are a must also brisket was very good. Really enjoyed fruit and cheese plate and cobbler for dessert.

Service was great, knowledgeable and friendly.

Cocktail menu has a few very tasty items, best to ask for recommendations from staff. Wine by the glass list is really pretty decent, nice to see that, too often restaurants get the cheapest wine and sell it at the same price as what you would pay for a decent glass, not this place which is nice. Fairly priced, high quality wine by the glass.

Having replaced my beloved shambles, I felt obligated to check this place out sooner than later. The atmosphere is typical division street- large outdoor sidewalk seating area with wide open doors and plenty of seating inside as well. We had a little bit of a rocky start. The server listed off the bourbon options as promised by the hostess (the restaurant is still finalizing their bourbon list for print), but when asked anything about the options, our server didn't have any advice, details, or guidance. For a restaurant who's name includes bourbon, the ability to make bourbon recommendations

I was excited to try this new place in my neighborhood, so we gave it a whirl on Friday evening. Honestly, if I could give half stars, I would rate this place 3.5 stars and not 3. With both food and drinks, they are definitely on the right track but I think a few improvement are in order.

From an atmosphere perspective, I loved the outdoor area and the inside looked like a cool place to hang. The servers were super friendly and it's a great spot for a summer drinking day. They have a fun drink menu with a lot of bourbon-inspired drinks (no surprise given the name). My husband loves bourbon
