I booked a table for a group of 9 for trivia night and it was so fun! The trivia was varied with questions and also music to guess the artist/song title. Myself and a bunch of our group had burgers which were very tasty. There were some great beers with quirky names and non-alcoholic beer options that were nice as well. I called them earlier in the day of our reservation to ask if 1-2 additional guests would require booking another table and they said no problem! We didn't end up needing the extra seats but it was good to know that they could accommodate easily. Our server was attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend this spot.

super speedy service by Bryn - he was suggested some great drink and dinner options - only caveat is that he was a little too speedy - felt a little rushed to put our order in but he was very friendly and efficient - food was amazing! Hubby had a Gluten free burger - he said it was delicious - I had the Surf and Turf - the steak was amazing! It was cooked exactly as I asked for it to be prepared - the lobster tail was a little rubbery but for the price point you can't go wrong :) We used to go to Kelsey's but have made this our new favourite :)
