The beer variety is impressive even if it is most of the mainstream drafts found in every state . I dig the 50's cafe look though and those stools. Be warned the basement is full of bros and nuts .

Natalie Devine

LOVE the array of tap beer . sat down. looked at the beer list . amazed to find 70 beers at one bar and wondered where they kept them all? ah the 30 foot wall of taps behind the bartender . brilliant.

Awesome place to watch a Twins game. The downstairs bar passes the "Baseball requires Peanuts " litmus test that most sports bars fail.

Jeremy Lebens

Cheap beers , but has sticky floors and a weird smell to it. Probably only noticed cause it was mid-afternoon aka dead. Oh and the queso dip is just microwaved cheese sauce .

Ellie Lutz

Head downstairs & grab summa dat free popcorn !
