The pretzel is freakin HUGE, but the honey mustard has too much spice for me. However, the cheese sauce was great! I like the views over the downtown area. The atmosphere of the whole place was really great, I was suprised that this hidden gem wasn't more busy on a Friday night. I got the Green Mountain Pizza and it was interesting. Similar in style to a Hawaiian pizza if you've never had one before. Sweet & savory taken to the next level. Its definitely worth trying once but...read full review

Located above a Target, the restaurant offers a relaxed dining environment with numerous menu options, including pub grub, salads, and vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free items. The beer selection is a major attraction, featuring over 100 choices for both traditional and craft beer lovers, with seasonal beers and invited breweries added regularly. Customers have enjoyed dishes like carnitas tacos, hot honey chicken with homemade chips, and various pizzas, all praised for their taste. The atmosphere is pleasant and not overly fancy, making it suitable for families and groups.
