Very eclectic vibe. The lighting is like wow. The window the look of a garage door opens up to give it an open airiness. The fire pit outside is something too. The coffee is expensive. It's a nice place to sit and talk.

New owners are doing a great job renovating

Went here before the whole 'Rona and it was as a great spot to come to after a stressful day at work with my colleagues! Awesome vibe, drinks and food. Not a lot of places that are open late in Waterbury, so it's definitely great to have found this gem where we can unwind a bit after a stressful shift. Extra bonus points that it's close to the hospital!! Nurses need to drink and grub too!! Hopefully this place survives this damn plague!!

The new menu I like a lot and the place looks great. Glad to see a great option like this in Waterbury for a drink and some good food

So we are driving from MA to NYC & I ask my husband to find a restaurant for dinner at a good stopping point a he reads me three menu items and I'm convinced. We arrive - annnnnd it's. A. Bar. Which is fine, except we have our 9 month old with us. We go in, they seat us, looks clean, masks on staff, it's empty. I'm concerned because we have become those people, with a baby. In a bar. The menu looked small - however we ordered the flatbread, the chicken skewers and the "zukes." All AMAZING. And all approved by the 9 month old. But the Zukes which are what I would describe as a vegetarian (with egg) take on a crab cake - it was so good I asked the waiter more about it and the chef came out to talk to us. Not a cook, he's a chef. Chef Jason (crap I hope that's right! Sorry if I'm wrong!) I told him his name belonged on the menu bc everything was clearly carefully curated and delicious. Anyway - we do this drive several times a month and I now look forward to a delicious place to stop! Go in, order the Zukes and anything else on the menu, and duh an IPA - because bar. Much success to you guys!

Great Bartender

Not sure why this comes up as a "beer bar" as they don't have any taps, and very little available in cans (Two Roads was the only craft beer if I remember right, then like Bud Light et al, but that's it). Food took a real long time and the place was not crowded; almost missed the beginning of the show I was attending at the Palace.

The food is great and the bartender is really friendly to talk to

Came up as brewpub. False classification. Limited beer choices and NOTHING on tap. Food ok. Service indifferent at best. Will definitely NOT return.

Great place for discussing politics, and other scholarly matters. Two horns way up!

If you want a chill environment with good food and great service . Check this spot out. I'm almost there every week and always leave feeling that my money was spent well. Meghan was my bartender and may I say she tended the bar exceptionally well. Now go find out for yourself how great this place is 😎

Great local bar for meeting up w friends and having a drink. Looks small from the outside but has a lot of personality and character inside. Really good selection and the food is way above any bars in the area. Very clean too and the location, while in downtown Waterbury feels like anything but
