Casual sports bar atmosphere. Typical pub fare, well prepared and presented. Fine for families.

High ceilings and hard surfaces make this noisy when full, making it hard to be heard more than a seat or two away. Service was quick, friendly, and accurate. Lunch for two adults - appetizer, entrees + adult beverages ran ~$50.

X-Factor: 12 taps of beer brewed on site, a few standards and some rotating seasonals / specials. While the beers themselves will be covered under separate BOTD listings, what I will say here is that they run the gamut from pales to stouts and hit the major mileposts in between; well prepared and served in character with their styles with fresh, distinct flavors, and without odd/off flavors.


Recommendation:   
A solid entry in a delightfully crowded segment, if you are looking for a spot in this area for a bite and a brew, try it out. 

Prost!

The Scale:

- Wow! Drop everything and go. It's a Destination - plan a trip.

- Add this to your beer journeys in this region.

- Skip it.
