We were staying at the hotel upstairs so naturally, we used the bar when we returned back to the hotel before retiring. We met up with several people and gathered around the bar for a chat. The staff were attentive and pleasant. All in all a good time. We didn't eat there so can't comment on the food.

1/2 price burgers might on Thursday. Farmhouse burger and the one with pulled pork I strongly recommend.

Add onion rings! Fries are a bit meh, they lack seasoning.

We stopped in here for a pint. The place was awesome, and the staff were extremely friendly. They had a great selection of beers on tap and many delicious looking Caesars. We didn't order anything to eat but the whole menu looked fantastic. This place is definitely work checking out.
