We went there for the Stranger Things pop up bar and I loved it! If you are a fan of Stranger Things then you need to make some time to swing on by! The flight was what I had with 4 delicious drinks. I think it was a toss up between the Kate Bushwacker and the Pina Colada drink ( I don't remember the drink name). Our waitress/bartender was very nice and engaging too. The set up is awesome for some great pictures that really make you feel like you are in Hawkins and the Upside Down!

My husband and I absolutely love Gyu-Kaku! We drive 40 minutes each way because it’s worth it every time. The food and service are consistently amazing, the portions are generous for the price, and the atmosphere is so much fun. We always look forward to coming back!

First time @ D&B's; I am a grandpa and brought grandma, daughter + hubby, and G-kids (two 11 y.o. girls + one 6 y.o. boy). Good place for family fun, maybe 2-3 hours. Pretty hyper for kids, but that's what they want & got. Kids had a ball, parents had fun and want to hit the casinos again, and G-Pa/G-Ma survived. Not the place for a quiet meal, altho bar &r restaurant were pretty good, food was better than expected, and bar/food service (Samantha!) was outstanding. Didn't have great expectations, but D&B's exceeded them. Will probably do it again with next set of G-kids coming in 2 months.

We loved sharing Jollly this year with our adult children to kick off the holidays! I love the more intimate and friendly setting. The decor is so cute and the snow machine makes for great pics. The food and drinks are themed and oh so good!

Great! A little echo(y) but it’s an old building with lots of character and maybe a ghost or two.
