The atmosphere is nice if you are seating by the windows you get to see a little lake. I had the special of the day and did not disappoint! There were a lot of beers sold out in the menu, which is why I give it a 4 stars.

Food's pretty good, beer selection is good (in cans) But the staff needs to communicate a bit better with each other. Had a beer at the bar which tasted differently than I remembered. I had a suspicion that it was a completely different one. So I bought a 4 pack and asked if it was ok to drink one at the bar, since I wanted to compare and see if my suspicion was correct. It was told it was ok to do so. I even asked twice just to make sure. I come back to the bar and the bartender...

Great place. Friendly staff with a great happy hour. All in house brewed beers are good but there are no mass produced beers. Discounts on pints of beer, appetizers and 10-in pizzas.
