Ok spot to maybe pregame. It was super cold inside when I went this past Thursday. I love that they have swing seats at the bar. Music was pretty decent. Probably better to go when it's warm.

Came from out of town..stopped in on a Friday night.. the place wasn't busy at all. I loved the look. They had 4 dollar shots. DJ was ok..he played a mix between old and new. The food was good. I paid 10 to get in..60 for two meals and two 4-dollar shots. My friend got fried fish and fries. I would have appreciated my food on a plate...as I see other ppl on the reviews received a plate.. it's ok. loved the swings. I wasn't sure if it was a gay club because there were only women there. Lol Overall I liked it. 👍🏾 Ppl keep asking where those swings at in the picture.

The service was professional, my food (whiting, fries,and mac and cheese) was was delicious, and the prices weren't bad for the quality and quantity of the food. The individuals I was with had the lamb chops & asparagus and they said" it was delicious also". We went around lunch hours.

Yallll! Ok listen simply put GO!! This is owned by two females and it did not disappoint at all. The food was So good we literally ordered half the menu the lamb chops were everything I needed! There was not a single item that I tasted that wast good! The bar tender was so friendly and we even got to meet one the owners who was soo very nice. This is such a laid back but amazing environment. Everything about visiting here made this date night great.... oh and let me not forget THEY HAVE BAR SWINGS!!

It is in a great restaurant in a fantastic location, on George Washington Highway in South end of P-Town! I had the Blackened Salmon and my wife had the Lemon Pepper Chicken wings.

Chose this place for my bfs birthday brunch last Sunday. They allowed me to bring decor and sweet treats. Service was nice. Decoré is that of an after ours spot but it was okay. Good music during brunch was a hit. You will not be disappointed by the quality and taste of the food. Everything was slamming. The prices are great as well. The swing seats at the bar were so much fun. I’m going back to The Corner very soon!

I usually come here and have a ball! I came my first time on karaoke night and the service I received was not how I know it to be. It was not fair due to how I was ignored for service. It was two bartenders behind the bar and I wanted to order food my second time around for service. One bartender was busy however the other one was not and she looked at me and paid me dust. I stood and waited with my card out for about 2 mins almost and then I just turned away. I wanted food and I couldn’t! My friend noticed and asked if I wanted him to go up there and I just said no! However, this is my experience smdh but I know I never experienced this here before from the times I came.
