Have you ever just happened to go into a bar for the first time and you feel like you're among…read morefriends? That's how it felt when my wife and I went into Cruzen's on Memorial Day Sunday. We found 2 seats at the bar and grabbed a couple of menus. The bartender (who was awesome) came and asked what we wanted to drink. I ordered a beer and she quickly said that Sundays are $2 tallboys. Couldn't pass that up. She then told us that pizzas are half priced in Sunday. Again, couldn't pass that up. The pizza is really good; a thin, crisp crust, lots of cheese and perfectly cooked. With TVs everywhere you look, I can't wait for football season, but will definitely be back on Sundays! Cool place!

Their own description reads that it's inspired by prohibition-style cocktail bar and they succeed. Tried a couple of their rye based cocktails which were well-balanced and spirit forward. My friend really enjoyed his paper plane as well. I didn't see any citrus with any of our drinks which seemed a little odd, but I also see that on the menu they don't always have it listed, so it's accurate. Drinks are a little pricier than average, with most around $17-18, but it's well worth it!
