Came here bc this is a Tennessee bar and I went to UConn. UConn football is certified to be the WOAT, I came here to confirm. Anyway, Tennessee fans were great, we made like 11 friends. Food and drinks were great. Owner cares about attendees - my friend's friend got too turnt so had to go home and the owner himself looked out for him. 5 stars. I wish I gave this 4 stars before bc I want to upgrade them. I can't. I love it here Long live the Sedgwick Stop
We go to this place because it the University of Tennessee bar and in game days the vibe is impeccable, the drinks are cheap, and he server are cool. However the food is not good. I've had tacos wings fries tenders and none of it was good. The chicken wings were not fully cooked. BUT please go just not on an empty stomach.
Great neighborhood bar, with welcoming staff and about 10 draft beers. Food menu is bar bites- the steak fries are salty/delicious, and the wings are messy but tasty! Year-round patio is also a huge plus!
BEST WINGS IN THE CITY could not tell you what else they have in their menu because that's all I order. Get a Chicago handshake with it too
We stopped here on a whim. Service was good, drinks were good. The menu is limited, but that is fine. I had the tacos and my husband had the chicken tenders. The patio was nice to sit at outside.
I have never given this bar the time of day to try it because it's normally not very crowded. They have decent specials, so I decided to try it on a day with a taco special! I was pleasantly surprised with the tacos! They have four different types of tacos. The bar itself is just a typical neighborhood bar with a low key crowd and average drinks. I'll definitely stop by for a quick bite again to try other items on the menu.
If you're as tired of getting groped at Benchmark as I am, then you've found the correct Yelp review. Just a stones throw away from all of the madness on Wells is this quaint neighborhood spot that is filled with character and great brews. The Sedgwick Stop is an Old Town gem that has yet to be plagued by all the Alderman-induced hogwash that has claimed the lives of numerous of other hotspots in the area. Trigger Warning open mic comedy is fantastic and is every Monday night at 10:30. My wife and I have been here numerous times and have a blast every time! Come for the brews, shelter from Old Town and for Kevin/Bruce (the bartenders/operators)! Be the hero that this city needs, and say no to Benchmark!!
