“ Had a lovely first night sitting indoors. Nice place, friendly staff, billiards table. Cozy atmosphere with some sports on. Returned a second night at sat outside, Gem was our server and her was absolutely wonderful. Drinks came quickly although it was quite busy, raining most of the time (our server was darting about in the rain across both sides of the patio taking care of everyone) and I would absolutely come back. The outside tables are lovely for a people watch. It feels safe, comfortable, and easy to catch a cab nearby. About a five min walk to the nearest pick up. Great canal view. ”
