Tucked just off Main Street where the GPS gets confused and the charm begins, this taproom is where…read morebarn wood meets black tie. Think polished pints served under Edison bulbs, aged barrels with a hint of char, and locals who know your name and your dog's favorite treat. Whether you're sipping a small-batch stout or catching up on small-town stories, this is the cozy hideaway with big flavor and even bigger character. Behind the bar, equal parts mixologist, mind-reader, and part-time therapist, the bartenders wield top-shelf spirits like wizards with a wand (if the wand were a gold-plated jigger). Armed with top-shelf spirits and a shaker that practically hums with anticipation, they're mixing up drinks that are equal parts alchemy and art. Whether you want something classic, curious, or completely custom, they don't just pour drinks--they craft tiny, liquid masterpieces with a wink and a story on the side. Come thirsty, leave a little dazzled. It's elegance in a glass, charm behind the bar, Cheers!

I ordered a beer, the Hop Roar which is an American IPA. In addition to beer they also offer spirits, cocktails, cider, seltzer, wine and non-alcoholic options. That is my usual go to beer but I also like a few others that they brew. I still do not like their new logo, I wish that they would bring the lion back. Oh well. If you are in Wendell check this spot out. Cheers!

When alerted to my allergies, he made sure to check with the chef and make good recommendations on things I could have and still enjoy my time out. Each staff member were very friendly and pleasant. Ambiance - 5/5 This location was very clean and orderly - even the restroom! There was plenty of seating inside and outside. The temp within the building was perfect - not to cold or hot. Food - 3/5 Now, for the most important part - FOOD. This is where they fell a little short for me. I ordered: - The Salmon Salad (one of the specials) - The Philly Cheesesteak (one of the specials) - comes with a side (fries) - 5 wings with blue cheese Due to my allergies, I changed out the strawberry dressing for blue cheese and ranch. The salmon salad was pretty good overall. I believe the strawberry dressing would have given it the balance it needed of a hint of sweetness from the fruit. But it was still good. Where things fell short was the cheesesteak. I did it with the wings as take out. The flavors of the cheesesteak were off. I shared it with others and we all said it was a seasoning on the meat or something that didn't go well. It didn't have the taste you are familiar with when it comes to a classic cheesesteak. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't something we would order again - you know things just ain't forever one. This was one for us. It might be something great for someone else. The wings and fries were good. The fries had a good seasoning to them and the wings weren't hard - so all good in our book. We will definitely return to try other items on the menu.
