If you are paying by card they up charge you each time. Prices of the drinks are very inconsistent. The vending machine states to put your money in at your own risk. They have no problem taking the money but both the candy bar and chips got stuck and didn't fall. In my opinion the patron's deserve an establishment that is worthy of their hard earned money.

This is a very dark social clique that if you aren't wearing all black, have at minimum 12 tattoos and 6 piercings you might stick out. Non the less we made our way to the bar after talking our way out of a $20 cover charge for a no name performer. Under the guise of we were only going to have one beer and use the bathroom. I have to admit atmosphere was respectful and bartender seemed amused we were brave enough to even be there. We had our beers, a few laughs with the bartender listened to some local talent opener dj's and then on our way. In my day this group were known as goth, today it's Emo. Bottom line we're all people and with a little mutual respect and humor, it's all good. Enjoy. Humanity shouldn't need a disclaimer, just be a good person. Cheers.

The taproom was lively and a bit chaotic. I was completely caught off guard by the night's entertainment. Line dancing. Yes. I have never seen so many short skirts and cowboy boots in one place. I spent the evening focused on my beer and my laptop to avoid a pretty blonde confronting me for staring. With that said, it was a cheerful kind of energy and everyone was having a grand time. The crowd was upbeat, the music was loud and cheery and was able to soak in the atmosphere and write a few Yelp reviews. And after two tasty brews, I headed back out to the campervan where I ended up undisturbed with a restful night. You can't hear the inside outside and that's a good thing.

We were waited on within a few minutes of sitting down, ordered our drinks and burgers which came out fairly quickly. Our bartender/waitress was friendly, and checked on us often.

Good place to watch sports, play pool or just chill with a drink.

I appreciate that the server provided a free dessert after spilling a water on one of our diners.

There were zero people there. The menu hasn't changed over the years but the food just wasn't the same. It wasn't bad but wasn't good either. The service was great and everyone was friendly, and it's still a cool space, but the reviews I read were right it's just not the same place. The wings were smoked but didn't really have any flavor. The chicken sandwich was 75% bun, the Cesar salad was good portioned but dressing just tasted bitter and wet.
