To gaze at this structure when dawn is breaking , I found myself loosely associating it with Edward Hoppers painting of a New York block early morning; in the clam quietness of early morning , the establishment look like a stately mansion, its rich brown exterior framed by yellow facade of nearby business.

It’s a lovely sight even at nighttime when it’s mostly empty but not forlorn ; it’s small blinking lights make the place into lighthouse of sorts.
We discovered this gem a while back and visit every time we’re back in town! It’s a local stop but also attracts tourists- everyone welcome. Great beer selection. Jake gave us an excellent dinner suggestion and now that’s a favorite stop too! He also saved me last week from a boot/heel crisis sending me across the street to Al’s where I was fixed up and back on the road to dinner! (Firenze by night) the Show Down is a must!
Excellent little hole in the wall. The beer & shot combos are such a great deal. Good pricing and fun options. Exactly the vibe we were looking for. A tiny bit louder than necessary with both the music and college football at full volume, but not the end of the world on that if you just sit next to the open garage door seating.

Service was friendly and quick!
