About Hobgoblin

Upstairs is a long bar under a pressed-tin ceiling, lined with street-lamp fixtures and craft beer taps, serving a menu that mixes pub cooking with Asian flavors: pork pad Thai, wagyu dumplings, salmon carpaccio, crispy chicken rolls and wings. The reason to stay is the basement, a piano bar with a black-and-white checkerboard floor and a small stage where piano and bass players perform, and reviewers who came after the ballet say the music rescued an ordinary meal. Drinks include a potion list that arrives with a collectible spell card, though several guests prefer the regular cocktail menu. Reviews split on the food, and some find the AI-generated art downstairs a false note. Accessibility is a known weak spot, with the lift to the lower floor and restrooms repeatedly out of service. It opens at 3pm daily and runs until 2am on Friday and Saturday. Google rates it 4.4 from about 550 reviews.
