"This is our absolute favorite local sports bar in downtown Alpharetta and in the whole area! The food is outstanding and I always can't wait to have the coldest draft beer around. I will always tell people to come here. Oh, I love when they have live music on the patio."

"I must say we had the best experience ever. Elizabeth was very attentive and kind. She gave us great drink suggestions and she even took a time to have a conversation with us!! We will come back and we want her as our waiter again. She made our experience 10 times better. English is not our first language and she made us feel like locals and we really appreciate it."

"Jess the daytime bartender is aces. Really great. This place has the best smash burger and the best wings I've had recently. And I always eat out. Will the owner told me that all the food is local and the beef is grass fed. Made from scratch. When in Alpharetta, this is a must!!!"
