There's also a water station on a wall by the bathroom to get your own water. I don't know if they were short staffed or if it's always like that but on a Saturday evening, there was just the one guy behind the bar, taking orders and clearing tables when people were done. All that aside, the pizza, salad, and beer were great! We had a pizza with white sauce, arugula, mushrooms, and garlic and a margherita pizza. Also had a Caesar salad which wasn't your typical salad but was so good. We had a couple of beers, I'm not a huge beer drinker so I can't remember the names. I did enjoy them though. One was a sour. Overall, I'd come back for the pizza when I'm in town again.

I forget the gentleman's name, but the waiter/bartender was friendly and provided great recommendations. I had the bison-wagyu burger and their seasoned fries, then washed the meal down with the bourbon smash. The burger and fries were excellent, and the tab was very reasonable (~$40 for everything.) The only drag is the rooftop wasn't open, so couldn't enjoy the weather. I'll have to return so I can check that out!

Offer various options with their own beer and alcohol. Pretty empty when we went on a weekday night, food came out quickly. Fried pickles and jalapenos app- good, smaller chunks though and quite pricey at $15. Broiled oysters very good, but somewhat heavy on the breading. Power bowl- great combination of flavors and textures. Fish was cooked slightly less than the medium well asked for, but still super yummy. Smash burger, Grilled chx sandwich, wedge salad- good and flavorful. Fish and chips- ok. Fish was pretty overdone. Consensus on fries were a negative on flavor- somewhat bitter. Overall a good experience, great vibe, Will be back to try other items.

Since it was a Tuesday morning, it was pretty quiet in the area and we had a private class with Chris. Chris was very thorough, starting with candle and fire safety. He took his time showing my daughter the process, from pouring, mixing, balancing the smells and everything in between. He knew a lot about scents and what goes well together. The shop itself was really nice and tidy. Bonus points on the "secret" room that had some gaming stuff like pool table, mini arcade area and some board games. I say secret because the connecting door is hidden as one of the shelves. He let us take our time in the room that is actually an adjoining room to his shop that has its own entrance/exit door. We could have also bought food from next door and the shop offers drinks. They have different events every month. Really neat shop, close to lots of other neat businesses like coffee and ice cream shops.

But she did enjoy her bun-less burger that was prepared gluten free without cross contamination. Their shipwrecked wings were solid as were the deep fried deviled eggs -- something, I hadn't experienced before but was impressed with how it was prepared. Aesthetically, it's this large cavernous space with beige walls that appears at one point it could have been a mattress store that then transformed into a bar with a full kitchen. The bar is very no frills with pool tables set up at opposite corners of the establishment but still close to the bar counter that is island-style. They have some arcade games and a space for table seating. Cocktail wise, it's nothing grand. Don't go thinking you are going to order Negronis there. I kept it simple and ordered a Yuengling draft and a Duke's Brown Ale from a local brewery. Both were served cold and were refreshing. My wife settled on her standard G&Ts and was satisfied. The staff were friendly as was the owner who I think also was the Kitchen Manager as well. It was a Monday night when the Saints and Falcons were playing so we were checking our fantasy scores. It serves as a local handout spot for sure and is probably wicked packed on fridays and saturdays. Still it was loud due to the church group of preteens and teens that were holding court at one pool table area before moving directly behind us at the other area. Would have preferred not to have that much noise but I also thought, they were at least having fun and doing something friendly as opposed to getting into trouble as I rationalized. The tavern is a fair spot if you need a beer and some wings. And a game of pool if you're inclined and can grab an open table.
