If you find yourself in Old Forge, whether for a visit or as a local, this place is an absolute must-see. The atmosphere is warm and family-friendly, making it an inviting spot for everyone. Upstairs, there's a fantastic game room that kids will enjoy, featuring a claw machine that my family adored--it's practically guaranteed to win you a small rubber ducky! During my week in Old Forge, this was the only place I returned to, which speaks volumes. Be sure to browse their merchandise as well; it's a perfect way to commemorate your experience!

What a great place to hang out for a while. We grabbed lunch one day and spent a few evenings here for drinks. The food was excellent and the staff was very welcoming. Make sure you check out the game room upstairs.

Eclectic menu but my goodness! The flavors were amazing. My partner got a beans and rice dish and I've never had beans so good and flavorful. I got the buffalo chicken wrap and it wasn't the usual drenched in buffalo sauce deal, complex flavors with depth. So good. Excellent service as well and comfy atmosphere. Will definitely be back!
