Very "home-y" feel. I came at noon, so obviously empty and slower, but the bartender here is very nice, very friendly, and very professional. It's a great place to grab a few drinks and a nice bite. Honestly the best fried pickles I've ever had.
Great atmosphere, service , and food. Murielle will definitely take care of you
The food was great, I got the big sexy wings, Mac and cheese bites and the Buffalo ravioli to share and it was great. Beer was good and cold too, service was spectacular. Will be going back for sure, alot more to try on the menu.

Full drink selections and more than just "bar" food. Grab a plate a drink and a good game here. Meet new people from all over due to swfl being an international destination.
I had the Bada Bing shrimp 🍤 & imo it's better than Bang Bang shrimp also a bigger serving too. Win/Win. My husb had 1/2 serving of Big Sexy flatbread 🫓 & that was great too. Our server Amy was friendly and efficient 😊 …
