Tough luck. Bar is a gem hidden in a residential neighborhood. They have an impressively well stocked bar, and while I can't speak for substantial meals, I can vouch for the excellent selection of french fries, cheese fries, and tater tots. It helps if you like potatoes.
Vegetarian options: There's lots of potato goodness in the form of french fries and tater tots, and there's always mac and cheese.
Parking: I scored one of the three available parking spots and they're lots. I'm sure you can find parking on the street, you'll just have a little bit of a walk.
Kid-friendliness: It's a bar, so you should probably leave the kids at home with a sitter.
Wheelchair accessibility: The bar is a single level with seating that can easily be rearranged to accommodate a wheelchair.

First time here and enjoyed the vibe. Their craft cocktails sound great! They have about 6-8 taps. Their food also looks good. Will be coming back to try more than just a Hazy IPA next time!

Chill bar with outdoor seating. They have a nice fire pit corner. Order at the bar and bus your own tables. Great spot.
Kid-friendliness: Kids were allowed until at least 8 it seemed

Service is good, Food is hit or miss(we've been here over a dozen times) but everyone should know that this bar allows children in the bar area. If you want a kid friendly bar, this is your place. I personally don't care for bars that allow children to run around.

I had the bacon chicken ranch and it was pretty disappointing. The bartender was nice.

Just might be my new go-to hang out. Great ambiance, fantastic drinks with attention to flavor, balance and detail. Sort of hidden away, but easy to get to. Good vibes.

Very good bar and food! Bar service takes a while but it's worth it. So many interesting drinks! They also had a DJ that played house remixes that brought out a nice ambience. Check it out!

This is a pretty good place. The stake and potatoes is good. Burger is okay.
Be prepared to bus your own table.

Ordered a Chicken bacon Ranch.. Chicken was somehow both dry and cold.. Almost no ranch on the sandwich to be found. Asked for some extra ranch and they wanted to charge me. I’m good, enough bars in this town to never think about coming here again.

We came here for a private work event with my husband's company. The food was amazing! The service was great as well. We don't drink, and every time we go to these things, there's always a lack of non alcoholic choices. This place served not only a ton of great drinks for everyone else (from what I heard), but the bartender made me my own special non alcoholic mixed drink that tasted amazing! I would definitely come back again for a date night. We had the Mac cheese with broccoli (so delicious), the side salad was also yummy, the wings, which were perfectly cooked, and the pulled pork sandwich which my husband LOVED. We also got to try a bunch of the appetizers. My favorites were the fried pickle spears, pretzel, and fries.

I want to love this place. I REALLY do. Its close to my house. After 3-4 visits I find the food very poor quality, thrown together like cheap bar food without the low price. They used to have such a great menu, pre pandemic of course. Now very limited.The service is hit or miss. The cocktails average. Sorry, just cant recommend.
