An ok bar, but the burgers are sub-par considering the cost. For a $12-$15 burger, I expect a lot more. I ordered medium rare and there was not a trace of pink. The only thing they can brag about is the amount of variety, but lots of toppings can't hide a bad burger.
Ate at the bar on a Thursday night. Place was crowded at 5:00 pm, and packed by about 6:15.
Sort of a modern vibe and decor, not the classic pub look.
Ordered a simple burger, was cooked perfectly. Go with the sweet potato or 50/50 fries. Bartenders were young but friendly enough and more than happy to describe the various beers in great detail.
The beer list is great but they can stand to add a lager or two.
A good upscale burger joint. The burgers are excellent and come in a large variety. Starters are very large. In general the service is good, though during multiple visits we did encounter the odd ill-mannered waiter.
The decor is nice, but the lack of soft materials makes the place very, very noisy during busy hours. Drink selection is excellent.
All and all, this is one of the best places to eat around the New Haven city center.

For burgers addicts, I really liked my burger, like the combinations they offer in the menu, almost let you create your own burger.
Liked the meat, small but fun place, a little too crowed for the small size, but worth going and try one great burger.
