Amazing beer selection . Big projector for football . CT Burger was huge, flavorful, and amazing. Not your common burger . Duck fat chips were solid.

Fantastic beer selection (32 on tap and more bottles!)!! We went with the black and blue Brussel sprouts , duck fries , and a steak sandwich - everything was excellent!!

Great beer place to hang out with good food. They were kind to my kid and even kids menu came out with adult plating. My new beer place? Maybe!

Beer menu is excellent and wait staff know their stuff. Duckfat chips are a good starter. Flatbreads are very good too.
