Great food, good band..
Stopped in for an after dinner drink. Super friendly service, made great drink recommendations. Enjoyed watching the staff interact with other guests - they take the time to know their regulars, greeting them by name. Unique vibe with awesome art all around. Only 4 stars because 2 seasonal drinks cost over $30.

When you riding through Putnam on a motorcycle this is a must stop. Never had the food but Drinks & vibe is classic hipster mid 2000s folk resurgence.

Been there a few times for open mic night. People are all really nice. People who work there were wonderful and played the open mic and had a lot of fun. Great place.

Quality of the food has gone way downhill. We paid $45 plus tax for the most burnt, dry wings we’ve ever had the misfortune of “eating” (they all had to be thrown away). Don’t waste your money here, nothing else on the menu is worth eating.
I just visited this place for the first time, and to say I was confronted with the worst experience of my life, would be an understatement. Surely positive the experience was due to underage people ALREADY being served at the time of my arrival, but I was shocked to hear the bartender thought my ID was fake, but that “I could keep it” and just “wouldn’t serve me”.
For clarity, I am very much of legal age, got a new ID just in August, offered to show my credit, debit,Venmo cards, picture of passport, old license, learners permit, bank books, or anything she needed. Yet she still denied.
The next thing I offered to do was call the police, to which they were shocked, as was I when they said my ID was fake. The look of pure stupidity on the bartenders ( younger girl with short brown hair and tattoos) face is as dumbfounding.
It was interesting to see every single person leave there after I said I was going to be calling the cops as I left, but that’s the business issue.
Part of me wishes I had called the police because of the pure disrespect this establishment showed me, and based on my assumptions, but figured it honestly best to put for the public to see and to hear honest feedback.
Fun place for grilled cheese connoisseurs and music lovers.
The most delicious and creative food options I have seen at a restaurant/gotten in a while! Got a yummy grilled cheese, wrap, and salad. Portions were good, everything tasted fresh, and they clearly have a creative and passionate chef! I recommend the street corn salad :)
Total was $55 after tax, which was frustrating as the prices weren’t on the menu online. I guess we could’ve asked, but did not expect any of these individual items to be $15+. All three were $15+.
Also took ~ 15min longer than the estimate on the phone.
I still wanted to give 5 stars, as the food was delicious and the inside looked really cool! This was midday on a Sunday and they had live music which was great. For a fun night out, this is the spot! Just expect it to be a bit expensive, and be weary if you are ordering to go.
The food and drink are great, but you should come here for the people. All the staff greeted me and were delightful. I'll be back for sure.
