“Such a clean cool vibed bar in the heart of Wicker - surprisingly good burgers too and the kitchen is open late.”

Went to celebrate my birthday with a group of friends, the songs were great was loving the playlist and the bar was packed on a Friday. Drink service was very quick despite the volume and Josh was taking care of us. He made my birthday so special and was so fun behind the bar, you can’t pay for that hospitality. Thanks Josh (ask for him) and as a service industry person I can’t wait to see you as a regular customer.

I had cheese curds, loaded fries and the best gimlet, since at Trivoli Tavern. Everyone should try Estelle's Gimlet.

“Solid late night neighborhood staple and dive bar.”

Solid late night neighborhood staple and dive bar. Good happy hour and daily specials, most of the food that is on offer is fried, but when it's 12am it's exactly what you need to accompany a beer. Definitely worth a stop in every now and then, especially if you're out late.

Last time I was here my big sister had to sneak me a beer. Big thanks to Zachary and the night crew for a great welcome home. 11:30pm on a Tuesday and they're still cooking and drawing a crowd.

“What a wonderful late night place this is.”

What a wonderful late night place this is. The food is quality and simple so you won’t be overwhelmed with a large menu. Fries and grilled cheese are a great combo. And delicious drinks with daily specials. An upscale dive bar atmosphere. Perfect.

Came here on a Saturday night around 8:30pm, was able to get a booth and watch a slew of very intoxicated people stumble over each other and call each other boss. The beer options were okay, and the vibe was more of a post club feel, not a fan.

“Crowded and loud, this late night dive is lively and actually has some pretty great food.”

Crowded and loud, this late night dive is lively and actually has some pretty great food. Their drinks are are pretty typical, from your classic call drinks to some cans. our burgers were delicious! Everything you could want from a late night meal. And with a kitchen open this late, I’m sure they’re a saving grace to many. Their main drawback is the crowd. It gets so busy in here that it’s difficult to move around, difficult to even get to the bar to order, and difficult to have a conversation with your group. Even the server who brought out our food had to hold them over his head as he walked through people. And with that many people together, it takes a while to get anything from a canned beer to a burger and fries.

“I tried to get a refund for getting served a raw hamburger when I ordered a beyond patty and waited over an hour for it.”

I tried to get a refund for getting served a raw hamburger when I ordered a beyond patty and waited over an hour for it. (Not to mention, I ordered a second burger which was also a beyond patty and the recipient was also served a hamburger — that one managed to be cooked though.) I called back up there once I realized (I ordered the food to go) and was told I would be called back later since the manager wasn’t there and no one has returned my call over a week later. Paid $24 +tip and no one could even be bothered to reach back out. I truly don’t understand what’s happened to the service here over the last year but it’s really disappointing. Sharing this to remind everyone please check your food before you eat here.
