Horrible at best.......
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

The burgers are mediocre at best. The service is decent enough, but I can't get over how pretentious these wanna be bad-asses are. I guess it keeps with the clientele who think that wearing fingerless gloves and bandannas makes them bikers. There's no bikers here. Lots of frat boys with their hats turned backwards, though. I saw one guy pull up on a bike, and the manager ran outside to shoo him away from parking near the door (how stupid is that). This place was decent when it first opened (I lived in the area before relocating to San Francisco) but it's really gone downhill. The bloody marys here come with some sort of meat salad thrown in and are absolutely undrinkable. They should concentrate more on the poor food than gimmicky concoctions that'll be sure to give you heartburn. I wouldn't recommend this awful place to my worst enemy.

Pros: there's much better places to eat nearby

Cons: just about everything here

Pub grub and biker-bar atmosphere draw tattooed punks and yuppies alike to this irreverent River West hangout.  See the full editorial review.
