WOW, this place is super roomy. It feels like a large warehouse, but with a fabulous woody aroma (that's what she said). There is natural woodwork everywhere, and I absolutely love it.
Drinks are little pricy, and they only sell beer. So, bring a chubby wallet if you're planning on getting crunk.
I'm assuming there is live music occasionally, because there was a big ole' stage in the back of the bar, surrounded by a lot of standing room.
We didn't get any live entertainment that night, but the acoustics were so great that it practically sounded like there was a live deejay!
Looking forward to coming back, if I'm in the area again.

LOVE the theme here. Although, I would have thought that they'd take on some more of a public school theme.. like old school lunchroom gear/furniture with a modern twist?
Anywho, I did really enjoy the idea of the "brown bag" fries and the "menu composition" with the binder paper looking napkins... okay, I guess they did do a pretty good job with theme!
The "Pub Burger" was SOOOOO yummy. I shared it with my BF, but I'll be eating the whole thing myself, next time. The menu is pretty limited, but there's a few other solid items, like fish 'n' chips and calamari.
My BF ordered the "Daily Brew" which is served daily for $4! Although, each pour had a ton of foam.. eek.
I'll be back for SURE, to inhale that burger again... maybe even try a few new drinks?

Upstairs is nice and comfy! A great place to chill and enjoy some deep fried Oreos. YES, I said DEEP FRIED OREOS. They were soooo worth the many calories.
Apparently, Silo is known for their "Gummy Bear" mixed drink. But from what I hear, it's "Eh, okay." But, gummy bears in a drink? I'll have to give it a try myself eventually.
The crowd got super crazy with the BINGO games (they have BINGO on Sunday nights!), so that was pretty fun. Winner got a free drink!
I'm excited to come hear on a Friday or Saturday, to see how crazy the crowd gets!

I'm REALLY excited to come back to this place. After a couple years of driving by on Broadway (always gazing at the happy hour crowd), I finally decided to pay a visit.
WOOH! Their sausages with the flat bread are yuh-hum-mee. I love the sweet potato and regular fries, which come with different quirky dipping sauces that you can choose from (ex: siracha ketchup, rosemary mayo, garlic mayo, etc.). The bit of froo-froo foody in me craves that kinda stuff!
Their brew selection is quite broad, and prices are decent during their happy hour "mass".. hahha. Hilarious, btw.
Those of you who haven't been to church in a while - here's your chance to enjoy "mass" once again!

I don't care how ghetto Walmarts can be... although this location isn't nearly as bad as others I can compare to!
I've shopped here, gotten my oil changed, and I've used the "site to store" online ordering pick up option. 100% satisfaction! I get what I pay for - so I set reasonable expectations with the products that I purchase.
I'll always be back for more!

A-ok! They have some great prices, and tasty rolls. Service and ambiance are pretty average, so I wasn't blown away.
I'll come back if I'm in the area and craving sushi!

SOOOO GOOD. Most of the time, I've come here at about 2:30am after a night out at the bars.. the food from what I recall, was fantastic.
Recently, I actually came during the day (while sober), and was once again satisfied with the food and service. Service is super fast, the food is surprisingly delicious. I love the Indonesian Fried Rice and Baked Spaghetti. Oh, and the unlimited lemon tea is really tasty, too!
I look forward to hitting this place up, once I'm in the area again. WOOH!

This place has a great speakeasy kind of ambiance. The owner, Leo, is fantastic and hands on! He treated my friends and I to a round of drinks :)
Looking forward to coming back and giving this place another try, on a night when I can stay longer and drink a lot more!

Faaaabuuuloooouuuussss!
I drive past this place EVERY morning on my way to work, and it taunts me. "Don't go to work, Cathy - take the morning off and grab a bite to eat!" I wish...
My friends and I came here on a Saturday morning around 10am-ish, and waited about 20 minutes for a table. They turned the tables quickly, so we were sat in virtually no time. (Plus, you can grab some coffee while you wait!)
The portions are pretty generous, with breakfasts ranging from omelets, banana pancakes, and egg enchiladas! I had the latter, and they were DELISH.
The service is friendly and plentiful. I can't wait to come back again!!
