Trivia night is so much fun.

Great food, even better service. Amazing wine selection to choose from, and variety of food options to choose from! Jojo took very good care of me during my visit, and I plan on returning in the future.

Jojo, an unexpectedly casual sommelier, and all of the staff, are always so welcoming and warm. It feels like a home away from home upon moving to Hackensack a year ago!<br><br>Ryan, Allen, and all of the gentlemen are attentive and quick! I couldn't imagine a better local bar to find! The tap selection is great and the Guinness pours are always aced!

I don't enjoy knocking servers, it's a noble profession. But I have to call them like I see them. Two very good servers, one not very good at all. My brother, who happens to know his wines, asked for a glass of Pinot Grigio. Honestly, it was a very weak pour. But when he is tasted it, he said to me, "Ew, this is thin, it tastes like it's been open for a while." I told him don't accept it, just order something different. He mentioned that he wasn't crazy about the wine and he preferred something else. The female server seemed to take umbrage at his suggestion and said, "well let me just taste it and see." Right in front of my brother, clearly setting up a confrontation. Sorry, that is not a professional server. "Nope, good to me," she pronounced. Congratulations. You just told the customer they were wrong, which proves you are not understanding the craft of serving. It's a shame, because the other two were clearly well trained and professional. It matters. It sort of took the shine off
