According to the guy next to me at the bar, they only have one urinal in the men’s room. Seems funny for a place pushing beer.

This I can confirm and yes, it is odd.

I ate there around 12:30 for lunch. The food was okay but there were two huge negatives that will keep me from coming back. The noise levels were off the chart. Its a concrete box and the noise was to a level that normal conversation was impossible. I used my decible app on my phone and it was a constant 105-110 decibles with spikes above that. To say it was unpleasant is an understatement.

The second is the prices of the beer on the tap wall (can't comment on liquor or the wine). I expect to pay a premium for a beer at a establishment, but these were way above the norm (think $1-$3 above other restaurant prices). To add to that you had to serve yourself, wait in line to get to a tap, and then be expected to tip the server for your effort was interesting.

There are enough good restaurants coming where I think this place will struggle unless they address the noise issue.

Default Noisy

We visited with some friends on Thursday. It’s very loud. I prefer something more comfortable for food and beverages.

Add sales tax and a tip and well over 20.

Guess whoever owns it had no idea that noise abatement might be a good idea.
