Went here for a memorial. Was a nice place from what I observed. Didn't drink. Didn't eat. So not much to comment on. Fire alarm started going off for no appatent reason. But that didn't keep the service from continuing. Atmosphere: 5

Stopped by for dinner and ordered the double smashburger with a side of the chicken and waffle fries. Burger was juicy with that crispy edge and good sauce, fries had the Nashville hot honey that gave them a nice kick. Place has a fun, laid-back energy with the patio and games if you want. Staff was chill and kept things moving. It was a solid hang.

Hailey, thanks so much for stopping by and sharing this! So glad you enjoyed the double smashburger and those Nashville hot honey chicken and waffle fries – that combo hits just right. Love that you vibed with our laid-back energy and took advantage of the patio and games. Our team works hard to keep things smooth and fun, so it's awesome to hear they delivered. Come back soon for another solid hang – we'll be here!

Have had great times at recess but today was by far one of the worst experiences I’ve had here, had a rude encounter with bartender Tess. She purposely dropped my first drink on near the bar area as I set it down for one second. Said she would make me another one then refused because she claimed I kept “spilling” even though I had just arrived no more than 5 minutes and was on my first drink. I do not recommend Tess as a bartender but have nothing but good things to say about the establishment as a whole.
