The size of the place is deceiving. You think you're walking into a small bar and then once you're inside, the place expands in all directions. There are plenty of TVs and the staff is amazing. Game Day specials consisted of boneless 6 boneless wings ($11) or pretzel bites ($7). We got the wings and they were tasty - I only wish the order came with more wings. Bar staff was awesome! I love how each one comes to you when you need a drink - ie it doesn't matter who you ordered from, they take care of you. :)

Local sports bar with a ton of TVs and located right near the Ballston metro. The service was great, bartender Deo is fantastic. A year ago they did a number of upgrades, if there is any sporting event they will pretty much have it.

Delivery order but had to hop on yelp to say that the burger was good but the wings... wow. Got boneless ghost pepper because I needed something spicy and boy did I get it. It's a slow burn so you can actually taste all the flavor in the sauce which was AWESOME. I'm going to pay for this later but this was the first time in a long time the heat got me! Definitely going back to try their other flavors because these were THAT good.

First down is always a solid location for wings. At times, some of the wings may seem like they were fried a while ago, but I'd say that most of the garlic or butter flavors are pretty solid. Highly recommend the onion rings as well as the nachos. This is one of the Ballston staples!

I ate steak salad and watched the Bucks game so I was good. I just wish they had a better selection of nonalcoholic beverages

tough. went for quarter fest which the deal is a vodka soda for $5. Literally watched bartender 1 pour all soda and try to pour the vodka only to be stopped by bartender 2 who said "do they have money" to shut him down from pouring a fair vodka portion. I totally get it, business is business. My brother in (insert deity). We're just like you. We're spending all we got on that spirit. We're hoping that spirit brings the rest of the cash. But. The business ain't for me. I'm sure they are better off specialized weekends. Just a bad first impression yanno. Bartender 1: goated. Appreciate you trying on behalf of us.Bartender 2: Tough.....

Good vibes here. Quick service and friendly staff. Always a good spot to come for any sporting event. Football or soccer is usually on whenever I come. Tons of wings flavors. Their other food is also pretty good. Deceivingly spacious inside. If you're planning on coming for say an NFL Sunday. Probably want to get there around 12:45 to comfortably find a seat.

Check your credit card statement after coming here. They charged an extra 25% onto my credit card (almost a week later) after I had already paid and closed out my tab at the table. Sketchy and very untrustworthy business practices.Also, one disgusting urinal for an entire bar full of dudes drinking beers and watching sports?! Do better.
