Love the staff beer samplers ! Fried mozzarella is a tasty and decadent appetizer , also get the tremendous swordfish tips entree when it's available. Marinated in pesto and olive oil , it's fantastic!

Karli Scott

They feature new kitchen specials on Thursday and I have yet to be disappointed. In fact, I dream of their specials. They've been so good! (Please bring back chicken piccata )

Eric Andersen

Don't forget to check the specials, they never disappoint! Take this goat cheese stuffed tortellini with grilled chorizo and broccoli …

Chuck Roslof

Great beer selection with frequently rotating taps, but meh food (though the specials can be quite good and the veggie and black bean burgers are better-than-average).

Matthew Spector

Beer flights and a cool unfiltered unpasteurized ale avaable at the bar . Great for game watching - a big projection screen in the dining room.

Serious Eats

This friendly neighborhood pub has a constantly changing, affordable beer selection and a menu of comfort-food classics.

Rich Sarchioni

I like almost everything but Beer , Frozen mudslide , mac n cheese bites , and southern fried chicken are my favorites

Great fish and chips and pub fare. Good ambiance and reasonable

Zac Chance

Veggie burgers are great, not a lot of other vegetarian options , though. I've also enjoyed the southwestern quesadilla without chicken .

Chuck Roslof

A wonderful place to hang out, with generally friendly and accommodating staff (and there's rarely a wait).

The Baja Burger is amazing. And the selection of beers , especially the specials they have every night, is great.

Served in a 20 oz. "Hurricane" glass, sips of this very spicy Bloody will reveal a zesty kind of flavor, from the peppadew pepper-infused vodka and an array of pickled veggies . Read more

It's not on the menu , but your server can bring caramel sauce , ranch dressing and/or chocolate sauce for your sweet potato fries . Enjoy with a local brew . Happy dipping !

Sabrina M

Try the Seafood Paella - Quite salty, but still good. Even better with hot sauce . My first time eating mussels , and I quite enjoyed them.

Tracy Spetka

The pitcher of beer punch can easily be split in two. Great brunch here, or if you're looking for apps, I love the chicken nachos !

Lauren Christopher

Great beer selection and have good burgers . Plus, they make a mean hard apple cider .
