Dietary Options

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Great if you both love sports bars, wings, and cocktails. If you want quiet conversation or a romantic vibe, look elsewhere.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — most guests walk in. Arrive early on Wing Wednesday or during big games to avoid long waits.
Is it kid-friendly? Kids are allowed earlier in the evening, but the crowd and volume skew adult, especially late at night.
