Jeff AndersonAugust 16, 2014Potato-chip-crusted fish and chips, good local beer selection, awesome interior, high ceilings, many leather-bound books, smells of rich mahogany
Steve McDanielSeptember 18, 2014Live music. Good food. Rear beer selections and friendly staff. All done up in a fancy bank building that's quite comfortable and appropriate.
Roxana D.April 13, 2015Being at the bar was the best experience, the bartender was awesome, lovely and always with a big smile. I felt in love with the place.- John WareAugust 14, 2022Bring a friend or five and order the Tower of Mimosa. if you love shakshuka, skip it here.

Julia ParkerJanuary 3, 2016Service is excellent & helpful for planning activities in Victoria; portions are large & they split our entry for us
If you love red wine like I do, you should try "Portfolio" Laughin Stocks! You will love the taste of the wine layers in this complex mix!
alexandra kNovember 21, 2019They do a cheap early breakfast, $9 before 9am, but that's the one thing they do well.
Good food, friendly staff. Happy hour 3-6 ($6 pint/wine)
Specify the type of Gin you want - try Victoria's Gin - yummy and unique.
Just got Magners cider on tap - give it a whirl you won't be disappointed
Bijan YoungAugust 15, 2017Beers. Slow service for food. Historic and worth a visit if nothing else to do for lunch.
Connie BalentineNovember 1, 2012Great costumes and music tonight. The best though was Skeletor with the voice activated lighted suit.
- Best place in town! Live music 7 days a week! Amazing staff and unreal food!
BuckJune 7, 2017Was charged for drinks never ordered, service was slow and it was a quiet night!! Tip! WATCH YOUR BILL!
