Great spot! If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend. Had a few of the Hazy IPAs and a expresso martini shot to drink and the smash burger to eat. All of which were amazing. Mark made us...

Great food, super friendly staff, and a nice dive bar atmosphere with some great cocktails and a good variety of on-tap beers.

After a day of cleaning out our office spaces, our team headed out to shovels for a much needed break. Shovels is a bar that does classic cocktails well, very well. Think manhattans, gold rushes...

I ordered a poutine, what I received was lukewarm, weirdly chunky gravy, cold cheese, and mediocre fries. I was missing Canada, but now I'm just offended.

Very friendly staff but the food was sooo bad. I got the chicken strips and fries, but the chicken strips were soooo dry and flat it was insane.
See a problem?
