You know the place is great when it is packed! Casual yet refined atmosphere that is good for families and individuals alike. Amazing vegetarian and vegan options with an expansive and delicious menu.

Parking is tough. Mostly on street or at a pay lot. But the food is worth it. I had a Patriot Burger, one of the best burgers I've ever had! The staff was extremely attentive and helpful. I'd go back anytime...if I didn't live 200 miles away.

Delicious food awesome staff but whatever the dipping sauce is that they give you with the steak tastes and smells like I just licked a dusty piece of cardboard I found in an artic... But the steak was cooked to perfection. So I switched the sauce and it's way

So authentic. Great beer selection. Take their beer recommendations very seriously. Special glasses and all.But their food…… the best tomato soup I’ve ever had. Unique combination of flavors for their specials and the menu. Was able to meet both owners…. One is the chef and the other specializes in the beer offerings. Very personable. Just the kind of place you think of when thinking of quintessential Vermont.

Great selection of known local and some lesser known but outstanding carbonated adult beverages. Pub nachos are amazing.

The food here is delicious- fresh and creative. The team is very hardworking and welcoming. Going here added in such a positive way to a great day.

Brought out of town family with us last night. This place fit all of the different palates in our party - from a vegan, to a picky eater to a beer connoisseur. Food was excellent, margaritas were perfect, and the beer selection was 2nd to none in the region. Do yourself a favor and order the nachos!

Don’t bother. Sat at the bar and waitress asked if we wanted a food menu and we said just drinks. Once they heard we weren’t ordering food we were never given a chance to order drinks and were flat out ignored. Pretty unbelievable business model. 0

We (party of 4) got there at about 6:30 on a Friday night, downstairs was packed and the host said there would be an hour wait. Wait was closer to only 1/2 hour and we had a drink from the large list of draft beers. Food was wonderful, I had the blue cheese nachos with maple syrup (wow! Amazing fusion of flsvors!), and the meatloaf sandwich. Everyone was very happy with their food & service. We'll be back for sure!

What an unexpected gem. Our neighbor raved about Buttermilk Bakery's hot sauce, so we made the drive and popped in here for lunch. I'm glad I decided to check reviews because we almost went to the Irish place across the street. I'm sure that place is fine, but this was excellent. The interior is rustic in a way I can only describe as a very Northeast vibe. The menu is elevated, the food will satisfy you, but also differ from what you might find elsewhere. I ordered the falafel gyro and my husband the ahi bao as well as a few drinks. We were both very pleased with our meals and gobbled every bite. If I lived in the area, I'd frequent this place.

I love this place. Good food, good people. It's my go to in Waterbury. The way the bar is designed, it's easy to have a conversation with a friend even when it's busy.

The food, service and ambiance here are all great. It's our second time here and we enjoyed both experiences very much. The first time we were upstairs under the previous ownership. This time we were downstairs but had as much of a great experience as the first. Steve, our server this time, went out if his way to be sure we had a stellar experience and he succeeded! We look forward to our next visit!
