Overpriced Food, Cool Vibe
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. While the vibe was that of a clean dive bar and a cool place to watch the game, the service was unfortunately not kind or helpful. The biggest disappointment was the food, which was quite gross. For $18, I expected a burger that wasn't overcooked and had some seasoning, but that wasn't the case. The sloppy Joe was essentially just mashed up ground beef with BBQ sauce, and I couldn't even finish that meal. My advice is to stick to drinks on tap and don’t order the overpriced food.

Fun Night with Games and Great Food!
My experience at 9lb was a fun night out! If you enjoy shooting pool or shuffleboard, this is the place to be. They also offer a wide selection of pinball machines and serve great, delicious foods.

Great for Affordable Drinks and Conversation
It's a great place to go hang out for affordable beverages and it's quiet enough in there to where you can actually talk to somebody.

Inconsistent Service Based on Bartender
My first experience at this restaurant was great. The bartender was really cool and nice. However, my second visit was disappointing due to a different bartender who was mean and seemed annoyed. She claimed they don't serve cocktails, despite me having one just the day before when cocktails were being made frequently. It appears the quality of the experience heavily depends on who is working.

Great Food, Fun Atmosphere!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The servings were big and the prices were good, offering great value. The staff were friendly, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. I particularly loved the dark interior, painted in black and red, which created a unique ambiance. The bottles were displayed well and easy to see, and there was so much to look at on the walls and around the bar, including cool vintage advertising signs and swag. The Foo Fighters pinball machine was a fun addition. Overall, it was a very enjoyable visit.

Burger Price Jump, Quality Drop
My experience at this restaurant was centered around the burger. Initially, it was an absolute 5-star burger for $10. However, the price has now increased to $18, and the quality has significantly decreased, making it a 3-star experience. It feels like I'm paying nearly double the price for nearly half the quality. It's quite sad!

Fun Dive Bar with Great Porter
My experience at this dark dive bar was rally fun! I came to try the signature home of the 9lb hammer porter, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was great, and the food was excellent. The service was also top-notch. I highly recommend this place for a fun night out.

Great Veggie Burgers and Ambiance!
I enjoyed the dark ambiance inside, with plenty of room to spread out. The veggie burgers were great – the best I've had! They also offer some non-alcoholic beers.

Discriminatory Bartenders, Unwilling to Serve
My experience at this restaurant was marked by discriminatory behavior from the bartenders. On my second visit, they again failed to extend basic courtesy to patrons of color who were waiting for service. I will certainly not be returning, and I suspect they will be pleased to hear it, as they are the same bar.
