Great Service, Good Atmosphere, Pricey Beer
My experience at this restaurant was positive, particularly with the service, which was great. The atmosphere was also a strong point, rated a 5 out of 5, making it a great place to watch the game or post-game fireworks. While the beer was a bit expensive, the overall experience was good, especially considering the location.

Amazing service on a busy game day!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic, especially thanks to Rachel and her crew at the bar. Despite it being a busy game day, they managed to keep up with everything. The service was truly amazing.

Priceless View, Delicious Eats
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The bar service from the staff was excellent, and the view is truly priceless. It's a perfect spot for pregame drinks and eats.
I found the food, such as the ceviche and tacos, to be delicious. It's definitely worth the visit when you're in the area. Remember to tip well!

Great Atmosphere, High Prices
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The atmosphere was great, earning a 5/5. However, the prices were a significant issue.
I found it quite expensive, especially for drinks. For example, $11 for a 12-ounce can of Pacifico felt more than ballpark prices. Paying $50 for just 4 beers, plus an additional $6 for a tip for simply handing over a can, made me question how people afford to go out these days.
In fact, I could get two tickets to a game for cheaper. The food received a very low rating of 1/5, indicating a poor experience in that area.

Assaulted in sketchy area near stadium
I was assaulted right outside of this bar a few weeks ago while in town for a conference. A man in a green shirt and black pants with shoulder length hair approached me, acted like he knew me, and when I didn't respond, became aggressive. He started pushing and shoving me.
He was obviously drunk. He shoved me several times. Then I called out for help, and stadium security saw what was going on, but took no action.
He also shouted racial insults at me because I'm "Indian", made derogatory remarks about "Indians", and on and on. Be aware of irresponsible, drunk, abusive, racist individuals in the area. The area around the stadium is a sketchy area, and there seem to be a bunch of people like this who hang out there.

Good Food, Lacking Drinks
My experience at the restaurant was positive regarding the food, which was described as nice. The location is also convenient, being very close to the ballpark. It's a suitable venue for a private party, though it's best suited for a group not exceeding 25 if shared with another party.
A significant drawback was the absence of mocktails on the menu, which was a pity.

Terrible Chips and Guacamole
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing, particularly with the food. I can't believe they would mess up a simple dish like chips and guacamole. The chips were terrible old chips, and the guacamole was just a bit of green sauce.
It's so easy to make a decent plate, and I expected more effort. I would advise others not to eat here.

Disappointing Dive, Great Bartenders
My experience at this restaurant was a stark contrast between its past and present. It used to be a cool, tiki-style drink spot, but now it's a dump. The bartenders are great and very attentive, but they're serving $19 cocktails in plastic cups with no frills.
The drinks themselves are mediocre, made with sub-par, cheap ingredients. I'd advise against buying food; it's VERY LIMITED, nasty, and cheap, yet you'll pay $$$$. The view is great, but taking an elevator to the bathroom and overpriced, nasty drinks don't compensate.
It's clear the owner is cutting corners due to outrageous rent, sacrificing quality. It's not a good look. Please, someone take over this place.
Consortium Holdings? Rescue! 😅

Inefficient ordering, burnt fish and chips
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The drinks were okay, but the system for ordering drinks was very inefficient. The fish and chips we ordered was clearly done using old oil and tasted burnt.
The food received a low score of 2, while service and atmosphere received 3 and 4 respectively.

Dirty tables and roaches - avoid!
My latest visit was quite unpleasant. The tables were so dirty, I had to use multiple napkins and my own wet wipes to clean them before we could use them. Even the menus were nasty and sticky.
To make matters worse, huge roaches were running around underfoot, startling everyone. The food and service were mediocre, and it seemed like they were understaffed for the demand. Overall, an unfortunate visit.
