The congress is a quintessential hole in the wall. The owner, Barry, is an incredibly friendly host. His chatter while tending to the bar is incredibly entertaining, he is a real character. There is only one food item here, wings and fries. But they are very good. I will definitely be coming again.

Great place to hang out and have a drink. Best wings in town and the owner Barry is a great chill guy to talk to. Always a blast coming here. And the karaoke is fun as hell. No complaints at all.

This is a great place to go to on a Saturday night if you like a more relaxed/lounge vibe, but with also quite some fun! Good people are always found here, always a good time with interesting conversations. Everyone should go to The Congress at least once in their lives! And the barman is especially a good man, always treats his guests well and with respect.

I've known Barry & Angie for over 11 years and they are extremely kind and welcoming! They have created a wonderful atmosphere to have a drink, eat some of the best wings and have friendly conversation with new and old friends! Highly recommend :)
