“This is my favorites bar in the area. Relaxed atmosphere, quieter setting, and a great selection of craft beers with an option for cocktails if you are into that sorta thing. No blasting music or sports, just laid-back conversation with some booze mixed in. The first bar to go to if you are visiting from out of town. This is a bar only, so there is no food, but they keep menus of local restaurants handy so you can order something quickly.“

“We love Johnnys pizza! Probably our favorite in the area! Beer is cold and their wings are delicious as well. The only downfall is the wait staff could use some serious improvement. Many times we have felt frustrated with how long we've had to wait for drinks, to order, for refills, a to go box, our check etc. . Its not a deal breaker because we really enjoy the food but we would leave a lot happier and less frustrated if the server was more attentive.“
