This Chapel Street haunt delivers unapologetic Americana with rotating US craft beers on tap, vintage arcade games, and screens locked on North American sports. Regulars drop in for unpretentious dive-bar energy and genuine Southern California comfort food. Baskets of buffalo wings carry proper pepper heat, paired alongside crisp buttermilk chicken burgers and fried mozzarella sticks. The taps cycle through rare stateside IPAs you rarely see poured in Melbourne, flanked by a pool table in the centre of the room and classic pinball cabs tucked out back. Grab a cold pot of craft brew, take a stool by the bar, and catch an NBA or baseball broadcast with a plate of hot fries.
- American Comfort Eats: Buttermilk chicken burgers, spicy buffalo wings, hotdogs, and fried mozzarella sticks anchor a menu of unapologetic diner classics.
- Games & US Sports: Shoot free pool in the main room, challenge mates to vintage arcade cabinets out back, or watch live NBA and NFL games on screen.
- Imported Craft Taps: Rotating taps feature hard-to-find American craft IPAs, domestic pours, and quirky imported spirits.
