Lili LiaskasJune 16, 2016Love the margaritas ... And definitely order the Elote Style Corn - delicious! Great service as well.
C ReyJuly 25, 2016This place is like Big Star on steroids and in the Fulton Market District. Bring your friends, wear something snazzy, and get ready to for tacos and tequila! The tall boy Pacificos are a nice touch.- Heather FolsomMay 21, 2017The chips & salsa were great. Not too much else to write home about except the lively patio. Get a frozen shot glass and smash it into the bell!
Allison KaminskiFebruary 4, 2017Get the guacamole, chips and bean/chorizo dip, tacos to share, maragaritas and last but certainly not least an ice shot!!- ElisaSeptember 3, 2018Came here in attempt for some late night tacos. Turns out it gets very lit on the weekends (food ends after midnight I guess), attracting a young college crowd. No space for a dance floor though.
Gregory PalmerMarch 23, 2018Tequila Shots out of ice glasses (hit the bell) and Negra Modello on tap... what’s not to love?
Jon B.October 20, 2019Rip ice shots of tequila, then throw them off the bell. Lots of good energy, though it can be a bit raucous.
Jeff WJune 18, 2016very gringo-chic atmosphere. but the tacos are incredible. especially al pastor. cheers!
venu vasudevanAugust 16, 2021Good energy and vibe. Middle of the road food. Tacos have good texture but could do with more flavor.
Monika McMahonJune 9, 2017They won't let you in with outside food or drink, including any leftovers you may have from brunch.
Dana DanielleSeptember 11, 2016Similar to big star but less hipster! Tequila shots comes in s melting ice shot glass that you throw at a bell. Food is good, but overpriced. Service on patio was slow.
- A NApril 19, 2017You'll think you were teleported to River North. Whether that's good or bad depends on what you're looking for
BiancaDecember 8, 2019Crazy young crowd, full of tequila, throwing their ice shots against a bell (??) 😳
Jessica MarheeOctober 17, 2016Hmmm... not a fan. Not sure why people like this place. It's NOTHING like big star, whoever said that should be banned from rating restaurants. The food is bland and drinks can be made at home
Grace AldridgeMay 14, 2018Good for large groups and a frat vibe. Their margaritas taste like they're from a mix and are way too sweet.
John KhuuAugust 19, 2016They should just remove the sit down and using the tire as a table concept. It's literally stupid.
inspector clouseauMay 24, 2019Шумная тусня в воскресенье днем. Из местных развлечений купить ледяную рюмку с бухлом, выпить это и уебать рюмку в колокол. Очередь прям стоит

"I really enjoyed the shrimp and grits taco! The rotisserie chicken taco could have had a little more seasoning. Margs are also not too sweet just right!"

"Pizza of course! The crust is chewy and thin. Salads are on small side but very good. Nachos are pork and highly recommend. And oh yeah, there's a Bloody Mary bar! Make your own."
Carol Fowler - 8.3
"Great beer selection with a focus on Three Floyds. Excellent cocktails as well, try the Seven Sisters. The Welsh Rarebit and Pleasant House pies make amazing bar food."
Eric Munn - 7.3
"Good burgers, but don’t overlook the fried chicken and specialty shakes"
