WHAT OUR
GUESTS
SAY
If you can take the 55 stairs to the top, you will discover a hidden gem; "John's Big Deck"! The drinks were on point and not pricy at all! The wait staff was friendly and very accommodating! The food was good, but would have been better had it not been served cold. But I digress, Big John made it right! I shall return to "The Big Deck" this summer with my significant other! The experience will be better on a warmer day!

This place is awesome. Second time I've been and it's a great friendly and comfortable atmosphere. It's diverse and offers many levels of music and culture. I would definitely come back. The only issue I had was the lack of service received on the second level.

For the covid-era it was great. Going stir crazy. Needed a local place to walk to for a drink. It was exactly that. Football (redzone!) and Nascar. Cold beer. Perfect!
