This really feels like a bar for regulars, don't expect attentive service if you aren't one, especially at the bar. Their menu has a bunch of bar food staples, with the addition of a handful of meat-free options, which I very much appreciate. I know they're just frozen ones, but I do think they serve one of my fave mozz sticks and melba around; they always come out perfectly fried with a great cheese pull. I also really like their cauliflower bites and onion rings. No frills here, just good drinks and food to go along with them -- exactly what you want from a bar. Also, their patio is nice on summer nights.

I got the chocolate peppermint patty flavor from their current winter menu, and it was simply fantastic: smooth, flavorful ice cream on its own, with enough of an alcohol kick to make it bar-worthy.

Didn't throw any hatchets, because my hands were entirely occupied shoving ice cream in my mouth, but maybe next time.

They lack food but have a history of hosting group and business events. To that end I'm confident they offer a unique experience. I love the set up and location of this place! It's cozy. And you're probably familiar with the statement that if they don't have exactly what you want to drink they'll definitely have something you'll love. Support Local. Go there. You'll have a great time.

If you're in the area I highly recommend you make a stop here!! The spot is super lowkey, I love…read morethe layout/theme. It's small but spacious. The prices are reasonable and the service is amazing!! I went recently and had Rachel and Nash taking care of me and they were amazing. Rachel is so bubbly and radiates happiness! Their drink menu is pretty big, they are an "open" bar but the liquor they use is made locally so they only use one brand so in that way you are limited BUT the drinks are still delicious. I had the Lady's Limoncello which is featured in the little boomerang I posted. They do give you complementary trail mix (not sure what to call it - can also be seen in the background on the video) and I think that's amazing. They don't have a food menu so it's nice to have a little snack while you drink. I came from out of state and I would love to go back. Loved the experience and the staff! Also Rachel makes an amazing pina colada shot!!! It was my friend's birthday and she made us a couple of shots and they were so yummy!!

Our bartender Olivia was super nice and ended up chatting with us for a while too! The sausage rolls and dipping fries came highly recommended by her and we opted for the sausage rolls which definitely did not disappoint and were delicious! They have some good bar food options. Kitchen closes at 10pm but the bar is open until 11pm. We also got to try some of their beers and ciders before committing which was really nice as well. And their pickle back shots were also a fun addition. Overall even without a crowd, it's a chill pub to check out in the area!

It's a nice place to go and spend some time, cocktails are quite good and seating is usually available. They also seem to have a variety of things for everyone depending on what day of the week it is. I think Monday's they have the football game(s) on and video game tourny's. I went tonight(Thurs) and they had live music. I'm not big on acoustic guitar sing song shows, but the guy was friendly and everyone who was there seemed to be having a good time. The place has been open for at least a few years now and in such a heavy turnover of a business that must mean something good.

It's packed with the college and 'senior' college crowd of those who wish we never left. During the week it is more chill and you can actually have a conversation and not have your eardrums blasted with bass. The decor is pretty cool and when its not packed you can enjoy yourself and friends. Drinks are a bit pricey but they are really good and not just your average screwdrivers and appletini's. They make some other unique flavor infusions too; just ask for something different, or let them make you a surprise drink catered around your 'likes.' Small but trendy, and not just a sports bar. Def date worthy place, although parking is street or paid lot around the corner. Watch your step on the cobblestones outside when in heels
