“Pitchfork wins on the full combo of atmosphere, service and unique food selection. It’s a great social vortex in a great hub. Great wine, beer selection, drinks, appetizers and more. You can come here for lunch, dinner or just drinks. If dinner on a weekend I highly recommend a reservation a day ahead of time.

Yes they tack on a credit card fee, I’ve seen some people complain about this but I am 100% in support of it. It also means there is an advantage to pay in cash, so pay the bill and tip your server in cash for the best overall outcome and know the credit card service is there if you need it.“

“This is where loud lives. There's a wide range of local talent coming to their stage. The owners are both active musicians. They don't serve food or have table service. It's a bar with a stage that hosts loud music.

Kid-friendliness: This is an adult bar. The music could definitely be inappropriate for children, but it's a great place for adults.

Parking: There's a parking lot behind the building that offers quite a bit of available parking.“

“I love this place. Great food, great friends, great prices. But they have a bartender named rosie who is absolutely rude to the point where you just feel sad for her. She's off at 5 mon-fri. If you enjoy watching a miserable person treat customers poorly and get joy out of it, rosie is your girl. Also don't bother coming here for food when she's here. She said she avoids making food hoping you get drunk and forget about the food. You're better off coming later when one of the nicer bartenders are here.“
