“ Just had a great dinner and drinks at this little historic local gem. Ran into some new friends and tried some new favorite brews. This place is all the best things about the two rivers area and we'll be back. You have to try the chicken thighs & Rochester sauce :) ”
“ So glad that Hollywood is back after closing for a moment. They offer a great menu with a unique atmosphere. This is a special place. ”
“ This place is always good, every time. The food is fenomenal and they always have a great selection of beer. Love the unique atmosphere and great service too. ”
“ This place has the best stage I have ever performed on, period. I've played a lot of places. Probably played more gigs all over the U.S. in one year than most people get to play in a lifetime. But I really look forward to when I play the Gardens. The beer selection is on point. The menu is insanely satisfying and at a good price point. I'm also the weirdo saxophonist that a previous reviewer took time to throw shade at. We also like to listen to records down there and read the reviews that window licking people post on a Sunday night because they are bored and have nothing to offer the world. Try the fish on a Friday, you wont be let down. ”
“ Wonderful hidden gem of a bar. You'd never guess from the exterior what you'll find inside, definitely see for yourself.... #1, Food was good, they have seasonal grub and beer specials, and they're quite tasty. #2, Service was excellent, friendly attentive staff, and the owner Frank gave a cool tour of the joint which leads me to #3; #3, Atmosphere is wild, in such a beautiful way. There are instruments to play for jam bands, art everywhere, and vinyl records playing from a huge collection. If you can find Frank the owner and have him give you a tour, he has quite the plan for this little spot. ”

“ Had dinner here and the place is fantastic! The service was top notch, the beer selection is great, and the food was amazing. Make sure you stop in on Wednesdays for 0.99 fried chicken thighs because they are really good with multiple different sauces to choose from. ”
