“The best part of traveling for work is stumbling onto local spots like this one. Can beers as low as $2.50, live music, good food, extra points for atmosphere. It has that drinking on the dock at the fishing camp feel.

Got the Cuban. Not the best I've ever had but still better than most.

All in all, I'd recommend it and I'll probably be back at least once this week.“

Wheelchair assessable, inside is non smoking with a covered smoking area and plenty of seating. They also have pool tables and slot machines and free popcorn.
