Terrific burger!!! Great cheese plates. Yummy cocktails. Happy hour menu includes Frosè (I recommend getting the blueberry floater on top).

Live local music every night. Great place to hear new talent. They have local beers + ciders + tons of mixers - it’s “bring your own” for liquor (so it’s real cheap). The decor is strange but half the fun. Board games + cards in the corner.
