Lovely waitress, attentive service. Had the carnitas tacos and they were delicious. Son had the hot honey chicken and homemade chips, all very good. Other son and husband each had a pizza, they enjoyed both. Would recommend.
April 2025
Very nice atmosphere, not overly fancy but not a sticky college town basement bar. A little loud, but it was Friday night. Waitress was very attentive however, spoke very softly! I think that was just her voice as she could tell I couldn't hear her well and didn't generate more volume. But hey, that is pretty picky review. I think the menu had someone for everyone. We would go back.

Massive beer selection, probably 100+ to choose from, with pretty great burgers. The taphouse is also pretty big and getting a seat doesn’t seem to be a problem. Would go back in a heartbeat
