I spent a good amount of time here when I was in college in the mid 2000s and 20 years later its…read morestill an amazing place to eat and get a drink. Recently we were back in the area as we were driving north and we stopped in for food and a flight. Their menu continues to have a great selection of food, beers and cocktails. There are a good number of vegetarian options on the menu as well. The beer selection is just great and I look back fondly on their martini specials that seem to have continued to this day. The location is really cool as an old post office and it just always feels like a fun place to be. Service was still quick.

The legendary Willibrew! This is one of the best spots for a drink in the area, and I'm constantly…read morerecommending it to people for both food and drinks when they need a spot to try in this neck of the woods. This is one of my favorite places to come for a celebration or just a regular day. The decor is always quirky and fun (giant paper machete figures high up - I assume from their Boombox Parade floats?), service is usually warm, friendly, and down to earth (the owner even came by to ask how everything was, which is a big deal in a building as massivee as this on a weekend night!) Their tap list is huge and I love to get a flight here to sample a little of everything - they offer both brews made in house and lots of local and not so local options to choose from. This day, I got the Willibrew Triptych Fruit Punch Sour, which went down easy and was fun to drink, the perfect amount of fruitiness while still having that sour tart punch. I tried my friend's Willibrew Choccy Stoot Chocolate Stout, which was a little more acidic than I would have preferred and a bit too light on the chocolate flavor for me, but still pretty in line with similar types of stouts. For food, I got the build your own burger with the vegetarian chicken patty, lettuce/tomato, pickles, cheddar, and their wonderful pesto aioli. I love that they've added so many more vegetarian options to the menu in the past few years - before that I did struggle a little bit and the Black Bean Dip appetizer was my go-to, but was not filling enough for a meal. The bun was fluffy and buttery and added to the sandwich instead of just being dry slop (which is what I think of most buns lol). This aioli is awesome and I want to dip absolutely everything in it, although the pesto notes were a little light on this day. For a side, I could choose from fries, mashed potatoes, or cole slaw, and went cole slaw to try to be healthy. I'm picky with cole slaw and actually really like this one - it's more savory instead of how a lot of cole slaws weirdly lean to the sweet side. It was crunchy and not too creamy or watery, just right honestly! I always love coming here and always try a new beer that I typically end up enjoying, since they offer such a wide variety and a good amount of sours (my favorite), stouts, seasonal items, unusual fruity items, and so on. I really should stop gassing it up so much because it does already get quite busy on some days, but I can't help myself - it's unique and unlike anything in the area. The lore, the history in the old post office building itself, the pinball machines and chalkboard in the bathroom filled with weird quotes, the funky artwork - they just all add to its character and the legend. Shout out to Barry if he still works at the bar and his awesome playlists - he gave the BEST service to my friends and I when we used to go hang out at the bar side regularly, he's the best and always made me feel at home.

Red Rock has a large shared parking lot and a giant menu that truly blows my mind. You could come…read morehere craving anything from pizza and grinders to authentic Greek apps and desserts to comforting soup to a quesadilla, and they're going to do it well. Even as a vegetarian, I feel like I have plenty of options to choose from. Service is always friendly and helpful, even when asking for substitutions. Their rewards program is great and adds up pretty quickly. Here are some highlights about a few menu items I've tried over the years: - Eggplant parm grinder: delicious, crunchy bread and tons of melted cheese - no longer available, but I really loved their Caesar Veggie Patty sandwich they used to have on a fresh ciabatta roll. I'd get it for takeout all the time during the pandemic, and it was a great meatless option with a unique flavor blend. Please bring this back!! - Tater tot side: tastes like McDonald's hash browns in the best way possible, so light and fluffy. I could probably eat a bucket of these and they were cooked to perfection! - Side salads / any salad: always fresh, and the parmesan peppercorn dressing is my favorite version of it I can get anywhere! - Meatless wings (aka cauliflower bites): tons of sauces to choose from, and a unique offering I don't see often. The portion is huge! I love the parmesan garlic option but they're quite oily, so if you're getting takeout, beware - and have friends to split with because you'll get a ton! Tasty but I never need more than a few pieces worth - great to share. I also got a margarita flight today for their Sunday special, making it only $12 for 3 flavors that you can choose. They were sweet and not too boozy tasting, yet strong, and went down easily - I was impressed! Their beer and drink special menu is always changing and I can always find quality and unique offerings. The only thing I'd wish would be different is the ambiance. It's just always so dang dark in here, it makes me tired and feel like I'm in a much divier place than I am. They also always have this habit of seating you directly across from the one or two other occupied booths, so it feels like your neighbor can hear everything you're saying when it's not as busy. I really hate that and would appreciate more privacy! We also hate when we're seated in the first room by the entrance - it feels like such an afterthought, and sometimes staff is sitting in a booth right near you rolling silverware...just seems like you're not supposed to be there. Some of the booths by the bar are really small, and even when I'm the only one on my side, it feels like I'm about to fall out sideways, so I ask for a larger booth. The food and menu options here are truly great! My family requests to come here often. I just desperately want another light fixture or two and some more personal space while dining. Happy hour specials are also great, but they're not joking when they say you HAVE to sit at the bar for them! (Again a less nice atmosphere when you do that) Thanks for all the yummy memories, RRC, you're a much needed gem in the area!
