What a wonderful world - more like what a wonderful pub! The service here was phenomenal, and the staff were quite accommodating to our large party of twenty something German students. I ordered a dragonfruit lemonade and a Tavern deluxe burger, and also partook in some pretzel appetizers. All of it was delightful, cannot recommend it enough. Lively ambiance, and they do trivia! 10/10, very pleasant.
Found this place by accident on a saturday night, it was decently packed but not surprising for a Saturday evening. We were able to seat ourselves right away at the bar but I doubt the wait would have been long for a table too unless you're a 6+ party. The atmosphere of the restaurant is such a vibe! I love the low lighting and the whole firehouse aesthetic, the bar was a decent size as well with a generous amount of tap to choose from. Now as far as food goes, judging from the reviews, this is a place for pizza and pizza only it seems which is exactly what we got. We ordered the Salami Vodka Sauce pizza which was one of their specials that night and BOY were we blown away. It has been a while since i've been this impressed by a pizza (and I eat A LOT of pizza). I definitely judged it by it's cover too bc she was thickkk and i'm not usually the biggest fan of thicker pizza but I would honestly choose this pizza over a ny style pizza some days. Definitely will be back to try some other things off the menu!
The firepole sliders are one of my favorite foods (I get them with the Beyond patty).
What a neat place! I honestly wasn't quite sure what the inside would be like but it was very well decorated. They have repurposed some of the old firehouse fixtures and it is very open. There are also plenty of seating options from outside to the bar, and two in between. The menu is pretty standard American food but they do a good job! I got the chicken sandwich with fries. My parents had salads and our other party had the sliders. Everyone seemed to like theirs a lot, I know I did! I got the Buffalo sauce on the side in case it was too spicy but it was perfect! I can't wait to take my husband and sit on the patio!
Food was good. We were a big group and there was only one server, but she handled it pretty well. Ambiance as expected, no frills, clean, roomy.
Solid food with a fun environment - I went here with my family and a friend. I wanted to find a unique place that the adults would enjoy but that had good food for kids as well. Based on that criteria, it was a huge hit. All of the adults got different meals and all really liked them plus the kids were quite pleased with their pizzas. They even made an accommodation for my daughter who loves olives on her pizza. I would gladly go back.
We love the burgers here at E9. They're so juicy and flavor filled. Service is eh sometimes, but nothing specific or notable. Just a little bit of longer wait times to leave or get refills. I did ask the bartender this last visit if she knew how to make a French 75 and then get something that easily tasted like half gin, half lemon juice and a splash of champagne. It was INCREDIBLY sour. I would have just preferred a "no, but I'll try" than the confidence that I got. I would have picked something else. Still 5/5 stars because the food is amazing and staff is always very friendly.
