I hadn't been since they moved to the new location and have definitely been missing out. We were…read morethere right at open during the farmers market and there was an initial rush that died down after 15 or so minutes. The bartender was extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgable about the products; answering some questions I had about proofing. It's in a great spot downtown right next to the farmers market with plenty of street parking. There are a few sidewalk tables but a nice open space inside. The inside doesn't allow dogs, however, due to their kitchen. Speaking of... The pizza was pretty good! I feel the most important part of any pizza is the crust and that was the best bit of theirs. The fresh ground flour adds a ton of flavor and they got a decent char on the bottom and rim. The prices weren't terrible and 1 pizza with some booze fed both of us. My only gripe is that they go heavy on the cheese so the (excellent) crust can't hold up to the weight and wetness. That's made a bit worse by they fact that they use a high-moisture mozzarella so there's a lot of grease that can soup the whole deal up. All in all they make fantastic spirits, service is great, and now have good pizza at a decent price. I think this may be my go to spot for meeting friends when I'm in Northfield.

Driving back through town we wanted to make a stop at Crooked Pint Ale House as we remembered the…read moredelicious burger we had last year. We stopped in for happy hour and we were immediately sat by the hostess. She was super sweet and friendly. I didn't catch our servers name but she was very attentive and friendly as well. It was taco Tuesday but we were craving that burger. Crooked Pint did not disappoint! Another yummy, juicy burger! We both ordered the Juicy Lucy and added lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles. It definitely is juicy. So good. Unfortunately the onion rings were not up to par. Couldn't taste the onions at all. They just tasted like breading. But, the burger is terrific so try another side other than the onion rings. They had someone announcing a trivia game that patrons could choose to participate. The questions were not easy so it made it a fun challenging game.

There were many beers on tap to choose from. We also had to have the Ellsworth cheese curds. How can you not!? Nice light batter and squeaky cheese. Perfect savory snack. Nice large parking lot. Staff was exceptional. Our beer was only $5 so maybe happy hour? Great stop.

For me, the vibe here is cozy even with an industrial look inside. It seemed busy, but the wait was…read moreactually only 20 min. I was able to wait upstairs in their lounge bar area. That's super nice and gave us somewhere to sit down. It's bigger than it looks from the outside. There was plenty of room I noticed when walking in and out. The wild rice soup is pretty good and a little different. Saw a lot of people ordering that. I chose the Porterhouse steak with Mac and Cheese and Broccolini. Steak was good and seasoned pretty good but was cooked past medium, I think. I love Mac and Cheese, and I thought it was pretty good. Should maybe come in a separate dish, though, because steak juice was mixing into it. It's just a pointer for people who might not like that. The broccolink was okay. I guess I'm not a fan of it. Cake tasted good, but it was a little dried out. The apple tart was absolutely delicious order that for sure. I would go back because the Outlaw Burger sounds so good.

We really were set on the duck wontons for a starter. They were of course out of them! So sad. So we tried the fried mushrooms. They were horrible! The batter was hard and when you cut into it the mushroom just fell out of it. The batter had no seasoning. For entrees, we tried the pork chop and airline chicken. Everything is woodfired so it all tasted like it was grilled. I didn't mind the pork chop. The "jam" on it tasted just like bbq sauce. The airline chicken was seasoned with rosemary and was a little dry. The sides were absolutely horrible. Icecream scooped mashed potatoes....(that's all I have to say about that). The risotto was so plain and wasn't creamy at all. Needed wayyy more Parmesan, garlic or butter. Nothing was seasoned. The coleslaw had no taste. The zucchini squash mix had no seasoning! The glazed carrots just tasted like carrots. Just everything was a little disappointing and unimpressive. Service was flat and simple. Prices were overpriced.

Upon entering there's an intimate bar area with the perfect dimly lit room to indulge in an elevated cocktail.

I had you had me at hello. Whiskey and cherry liquor paired lovely together and apricot, lemon plus being milkwashed delivered a perfect sweet but not overpowering clean, smooth drink.
