Such a classic place. An experience destination for food & drinks. The staff and bartenders are great.
I had Tori as my bartender and she made some really unique and tasty cocktails.
I’d recommend going there just to have her make you a drink.
But not just that, the live music, atmosphere is all 5 star quality.
Unlike any other restaurant, bar. Thanks!

Great vibe. Went when they had 90s rockshow cover band. It was a bit crowded which made dancing a bit difficult, but the band has a following for a reason and was worth it.

It's hard to know if this place is a fine dining establishment (decor), pub (menu), honky-tonk (loud band in the dining room), or sports bar. The band had a big "merch" table in the dining room with the white tablecloths and candles. 🤔🤣
We sat in the dining room while the band was setting up (fine dining?). There appeared to be a large party of "groupies" so we didn't get much attention.
We ordered a burger and the short ribs, plus an artichoke appetizer. All was fairly good, but again...pub, or fine dining? I asked about the horseradish sauce for the short ribs, but the server was not informed enough about its ingredients.
Based on food alone, it was fine - if you want pub food. But if this place were on Restaurant Impossible, I can pretty much predict what Chef Robert Irvine would say!

1st time here. This place rocks!!! Apparently, they have live music every weekend. "Duct Tape" band was awesome, the small Irish band (after Duct Tape) in the bar area was a lot of fun, headed out as the 3rd band was setting up. Very fun atmosphere. Will definitely go there again. (Photos taken a week after during slow time).

We used to come here when it was Paddy’s. I was a little worried about the transition to The Station, but I must say that I’m impressed! The space itself being an old train station and cars is so charming and adds so much character, and I like what the new ownership has done with the place.
We went on a Tuesday, and the main room was fairly busy and featured a live band. But if you don’t go for the music, it’s still a great time as the food was excellent and the service top notch! Tori took great care of us, and all our food was delicious, including the shrimp cocktail, huge wedge salad that was fresh and flavorful, and the short rib which was succulent and comforting. The prices were decent too (apart from the $11 draft beer, that’s pretty steep for a brew). I’m looking forward to returning to try more of their menu.
If the owners see this, please start a jazz night! You have the perfect venue for it. Swanky and fun! I would also love to see some swing, maybe with dancing, or big band style music too.
Keep up the good work!
