he Monday night special doesn't skimp and burgers are just $2. Stop in anytime after 4 p.m. for beef or black bean options and build your burger w/extra special toppings for just a couple bucks more.

I'd love to say I could come back and take the manager up on his Octoberfest offer. They aim to please their clients. Great tap and bottle selection and good bar food. Make time for this place.

Brian Strunk

The beer experts here know what they are talking about. If you're not sure what to try, try a flight and get several options before settling on just one (or two) pint(s).

Karen I Woodall

Everyone had a great time at Dwan's and Lynnette's meet and greet before the big day. Again the staff did a wonderful job and the atmosphere was relaxing.
