Good selection of beers on tap, including local ales. Some of these can be very strong - you have been warned! The serving staff are very nice and willing to offer tasters and advice on the beers.

Absolutely legendary experience at this spot - which is phenomenal.
The owner, Brian, took 30 minutes out of his day to talk to my girlfriend and I about the history of the area and the bar.
Drinks were phenomenal so was the food, truly an A+ environment.
Also, I had the best slice of cake in my entire damn life… I will be returning.

First time here. We were greeted warmly. There was live music! A jazz band, very cool. Fairly full when we arrived and when we left there were more folks. Wait staff did a good job juggling many tables. We had chips and salsa + burgers. I had the honey blue burger, it was very good, I recommend. I had an okd fashioned, it was pretty good. They have fried chicken and mac and cheese, I am getting that next time, sounds good. We will be back.

I’m shocked that this place was so empty at lunch today… it was our first visit and everything was amazing!!! The atmosphere is awesome and all the food was delicious! Our server- even being the only server & bartender working today (I think name was Justin)- was very possibly the most friendly server we’ve ever had anywhere and made the experience even better. Wish we lived closer to be able to visit more frequently! Definitely recommend!!!

Great place for burgers and fries or even a salad. Our waitress was pleasant. Unfortunately didn't get to try the impressive beer list, but next time we're visiting USCGA I will.

Awesome place to grab food and drinks!! Such a great atmosphere and food is priced very fair. We had Alyssa as our server, 10/10. This would be an amazing place for events such as karaoke.

Great place to eat
First time customer , ready for a nice experience . Was seated , waiting for my friend. That’s where it started going downhill. I had to flag down a waiter and politely request a drink. Ok, one bartender. Took more than I would have expected To get the one beer, it was not busy.
My friend arrived, and it was nice that the waiter came over and took her drink order. Since my wait was a little more than I expected, waiting for my buddy, I had almost Finished the Tox. Did the waiter ever ask if I wanted another beer or water anything , no.
The waiter took our food order. I was still thirsty, but God forbid I ever order a beer there again it took way too long so I just ordered a simple water. My buddy ordered brussels sprouts plus mac & cheese. I ordered the simple burger and it came with fries. She loves their brussels sprouts and mac & cheese. I tried both. Not impressed at all. My burger was fine I guess. The fries were coldish and soaked in oil.
And here’s the best part. I was never asked if I needed ketchup, mayo, or mustard. I had to ask another waiter if I could have ketchup and mayo.. At this point when my letchupnwas brought over, I said forget the mayo.
After 2 1/2 hours, I was never asked if I needed any other drink whether it be another beer or water.
We did get dessert, which was absolutely delicious. However, the whole experience is not what I expected at all. I did tip well 20% despite less than a mediocre customer experience. I won’t be going back.
Didn’t enjoy my burger at all. Super salty and almost inedible.
Cocktails and beers are good. Burgers not so much, how much salt to do you need? Jeez!
Eat here if you want a stroke burger!
