    Highland Gaelic -- finest beer made in this state. Willing to argue this if necessary.
    Mike M.

    Let's talk about positives first. The beer selection suits me. I also like the general feel of the place; it's not stuffy at all. But it can get a little loud in here, more so than you'd expect from what I first expected to be a relaxed neighborhood bar. What's disappointing though is the service. Not that it's consistently bad, but it gets that way pretty frequently. I often feel forgotten about by the staff. And even when they are taking orders and such, the bartenders are lifeless and unwelcoming. A bar like this should be exactly the opposite, or so I expect. Would it hurt for the help to say a nice word or two, maybe even converse a little? So what could be a cool place to hang out is instead just a mediocre experience, and that's a shame.

    Bar area in the distance, dart boards to the left and pool tables to the right.

    I was out with friends and we ended up here to hang out and have some drinks. It was busy as it was a Saturday night. We paid the $5 cover since there was a band about to start. The service at the bar was quick especially since the place was packed. We made our way towards the back of the business to a vacant table by the dart boards. We played several rounds of darts and then onto shoot pool. Both the dart boards and pool tables were in very nice condition. The band playing was very good. They played a mix of 80's and 90's covers but had a kind of punk/alternative twist to it. The crowd was mixed with twenty somethings to probably mid 60's people. Overall a nice place to spend a Saturday night.

    First time visiting Village Square Tap House, and I can say that I am happy with this place. First of all, they don't serve food. That's usually a problem, especially since it is located in a shopping center where I found no food trucks. But I called and they said that we could bring food. That's a huge bonus, so I swung by a take-out place and got a sandwich. The beer menu is enormous, and it has a lot of interesting variety. They also have a wine and bourbon menu with a lot of the selections one would expect to find there. As far as features, things to do, they have pool tables, darts, and live music. So in terms of a classy, spacious, and well-lit place to go meet people or play a game, they have it all covered. The staff at the bar were friendly and punctual... what more can be said.

    Good pool tables, space to watch a game and eat or have a beer. Lots of arcade games in the next room, spacious bar area.

The bartender, Justin, is super friendly, always keeping up with the drinks, and the drinks themselves are half the price of the bar across the street. The outdoor patio seating is perfect on a nice evening. It has a mellow, relaxed vibe and everyone seems so calm. I love it. FYI: They don't serve food though, so 21+ only.

    This coffee shop is nothing short of phenomenal--a true hidden gem I only wish I'd discovered…read moresooner. We sampled a little bit of everything: the hot vanilla lattes, the Cubano, the cortado, and an almond croissant that tasted like it floated straight down from pastry heaven. Every single item was a flawless 10/10. The staff? Exceptionally warm and welcoming. We even had the pleasure of meeting the owner--genuine, kind, and clearly passionate about the craft. The barista was equally lovely, adding to the charm of the whole experience. And the ambiance... wow. Clean, sleek, filled with natural light, and boasting an immaculate interior that feels both modern and inviting. To top it all off, they also offer a wonderful selection of wine and beer, perfect for unwinding or elevating your evening. This place doesn't just serve coffee; it sets the standard. Truly, this is the best coffee Winston has to offer. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor--go. I cannot recommend it enough.

It was excellent. I ordered the usual coffee shop, staple: and oat milk iced mocha latte. I asked for about half of the usual mocha they put in it, but I don't think that it was enough because I could barely taste the chocolate. When I go back, I will get the full serving of chocolate. Other than that, the coffee was delicious and satisfying. My friend got a cappuccino that he said was excellent as well. The place had the most beautiful aroma of freshly roasted coffee. Neither of us got anything to eat, but they did have a couple of options. I'm pretty sure one of them was a croissant of some sort and we will have to try that when we go back.
