I love Burdock, the beers are so great and the space itself wonderful. The service was really lackluster, a trend I'm seeing throughout the city these days unfortunately (but maybe understandably) - no enthusiasm, not consistent, not checking in if the food is good or if we have everything, a general "oh yeah you're still here" vibe. Not something I've experienced at Burdock before and was really excited to show my friend from out of town. Overall a fine, just fine, experience.

I wouldn’t go here for dinner , but I would come for the vibes after 10:00pm . I like how it’s divided to parts , if you want the loud music or if you want the calm and relaxing atmosphere.
