    This is my most recent place to go for UFC events. Also the fact that have a fairly good selection of beers makes it more appealing to me.

    Just extremely pleasurable bar food. Burgers are excellent. Pizza is very good. Beauty of the nachos is that they layer the ingredients so you're not left with barren chips at the bottom.

    We wanted to eat and Chuck found this on google was a place with strips. Seems to be a sports bar. We will see how the food is.

    El Diablo rocks the joint, but bring some Carmex or Chapstick. You'll need it.

    Great bar that was much needed in the area. Great bar food at average price as other bars.

    Tasty food and 'import' beer selection like Half Acre and 3 Floyds, but over priced. Waitress was super nice. Not going back until they figure out what specials are.

    Wanted to love this place, too bad the service sucks! We got yelled at on a Sunday when we asked if they could put some football on instead of MTV2....

    Unless they've changed their policy; this place closes whenever it feels like it. I've basically given up trying to go here during the week after 11-ish. Prices outta wack last time I was there. Fix!

    Tasty burger and good beer but not my thing. If you like sports bars I guess it's a good choice.

    Used to love this place. Last few times service was absolutely terrible. Last visit the server Lauren's attitude was so shitty I've opted on not returning. Plenty of other joints in the neighborhood.

    Not the place for late night drinks... Staff was rude and actually heard the bartender making fun of people. Not going back

    Service is so bad it's almost funny. Drinks cost a little more then at pitchfork, which is a way better time.
