Place gets really really busy in the afternoon. Food is fantastic, service is very favoring over locals, and atmosphere is great. Fries were so crispy and delicious.

Intimate and friendly. Nestled in a cool Carmel neighborhood. Wood paneling and bar. Beer on tap. Fish and chips, burgers and other feel good pub grub. It was just what we needed.

We enjoyed lunch here on a chilly November afternoon. The tomato bisque is excellent. Man, the salmon salad is massive if you’re looking for veggies. Dressing is very plain but it satisfied my need for something healthy after gorging on baked goods for days. Hit this place if you’re a fan of laid-back bar vibes. Cool beer bottle decor too.

It’s a typical tavern/bar type atmosphere. The service was outstanding and our server was very nice! The food was very good and had big portions. We had the fish and chips and they weren’t too greasy like other places I’ve had. My daughter ordered the grilled cheese and tomato bisque and they were fantastic! The grilled cheese was huge. We’d definitely return the next time we’re visiting.
