The family-friendly eatery has Giant Jenga, pool tables and other games available outside on the dog-friendly covered patio and includes 10 inside TVs and 16 outside TVs. Menu items include burgers, wings, hot dogs and nachos.

The latest

The patio is now open for private parties and functions. The owner said business has been great since opening in October, adding weekends are the busiest time. The owner said he aims to have sports on the TVs at all times and if the patron’s game of choice is not on, the staff is happy to accommodate. Right now, the owner is searching for sports memorabilia to hang on the walls and is asking patrons to contribute.

What’s next

The restaurant will be offering low-key live music on Friday nights and trivia on Tuesday nights. The restaurant will also be considering an open mic night. The goal, its owner said, is to have something to do every night.
