Friday night was busy, but had a good vibe to the crowd. During our visit they played Deltron 3030, AND Blackalicious! Great music and good vibes.

Beyond delicious. Great beer selection , fun menu and awesome service. Highly recommend the chicken and waffles appetizer and the short rib entree.

Navigate yourself to this spot & let your mouth 'discover' a pint of Port City Shark Attack West Coast Double Red. Soak it up with a bacon-wrapped corndog . Read more

It gets pretty crowded on a Friday night. They serve food pretty late, after 11pm. Good looking crowd. Cross between hot hipsters and surfers. I like it ;)
