What User likes about Ernie's Boondock:
They identify you at the door, but they don't need vaccination. The bar channels were very beautiful and knowledgeable for their craftsmanship. 1 helped me get my first drink at a bar and it was delicious. I ordered 2 different taste mussels, lime and a cherry. I left a tip for both good drinks. It was a beautiful place to sit and hang out. You have a fireplace and a little retro decoration that's cool. I'd celebrate... View all feedback.

They didn't acknowledge my preferred pronouns and even used my dead name. Never been so embarrassed.

The east side of the river really isn’t dirty anymore. It’s been gentrified with your typical cookie cutter businesses and people. I enjoyed my Saturday afterno...
