Good but small beer selection. Token system is questionable and I suspect it might be a way for them to make more money since you're paying for drinks upfront, although I haven't tried cashing in my extra tokens at the end of the night. I always just give them away.

Went into the bar, I don’t like beer so I had to buy 2 tokens to get wine or liquor. I went to the liquor bar asking for wine and they told me to go to the other bar. After waiting 5 minutes for someone to show up, they approached the other gentlemen and he said “no she was in front of me” and the so called security guard and bartender said “no you can go first.” Mind you this bar tonight is not busy and their customer service is awful! I just bought two tokens for nothing. If this is the kind of service Shinola wants to present with their employees, I’m appalled. This is horrible!

Omg, this place was absolutely the best. I don't drink but we came here after doing the pedal bar for my mom's 10th Memorial. The atmosphere and vibe was 🔥. I enjoyed being with my daughter, grandson and his girlfriend. We played ping pong and foosball and got food from the chicken place. We also sat outside and played corn hole with another couple. (Although the corn hole legs was broke, we manage to keep tying to prop it up just to play). 😂 But, they definitely need a new one I will be getting more of my family together to make a visit.

Very disappointed. Food was over rated and overpriced. The whole menu had 5 items to choose from. Such a wasted trip. I can't believe I drove a hour and a half for this place.

The system here is broke, man. It's confusing to get tokens but the token system isn't automated so.younhave to wait for someone at the cashier window. And then the line at the bar snakes thru the whole place when they're busy. The system seems to be set up for efficiency but it isn't delivering.

Here with my family and i'm the DD. I think it's absolutely amazing they reward DD with a free token for next time. That alone makes me recommend.

Food was great. The honey biscuits are spectacular and not overly sticky or sweet. The beer was ice cold and they had good local offerings.

I didn't have any food, but drinks were cold and vibe was chill. Would like to go back and review again when I can remember more.

Beer was OK. The chicken was very bland from Penny Reds. It was our only choice after multiple trys at places that were reservation only. The rolls were the best part. Get them smother they are a 5/5.

Clean your draft lines. Got a flight 2 out of the 3 beers were bad. Obvious beers went bad or draft lines don’t get cleaned
