Went in for a quick bite and drink for lunch.Ordered 2 of the blackberry lemonade vodka drinks, way too sweet and had to wait until the ice cubes melted to drink. Reordered the same as a double and there was enough alcohol in there to not be as insanely sweet as the first round.We got an order of the pretzels and dip. The dip was a bizarre gravy type sauce with not a great taste, would have been better with just mustard. The pretzels were overly salty also.Both of us got the "special" burger, taste was alright but both were overcooked and patties were not formed properly so they just fell apart. The patties were also not fresh and had been frozen previously. The buns for them were the best part of the meal.The bartender was nice and very attentive so absolutely no complaints about the level of service.We ordered a total of 4 drinks, one small appetizer, and two burgers which equaled $120. That is an insane price for lunch especially with the frozen patties and lack of deliciousness.

Great selection of beers on tap. Better than average pub food. Try the sausage sampler! The staff is great. Megan, Hunter, and Ryan couldn't be better. Lots of locals here but they make visitors feel welcome. Very cool vibe here.

A fun little place, that I understand recently expanded, and good for them! They have a good list of beers and wines, and pretty good food. The service was excellent!

I was there for an hour waiting for a turkey sandwich. How long does it take? They said they were busy, what a joke. There wasn't that many people in there. Then I got a face when I said I wanted to leave! Like I was wrong because I should have waited even longer

Decent atmosphere. Good beer selection. Food is definitely an afterthought. " beer cheese and pretzel bites" are nothing more than tiny dinner roll dough. Definitely not anywhere near a true pretzel. Burgers are ok but not worth going back for one.

Got takeout food from here and it was awesome. Showed up a few minutes early and had a beer while we waited. I would definitely come back and watch some football there too!

Seated right away in a cozy corner of a side room adjacent to a bike shop. We were brought or menus and our orders taken right away. We decided to split an order of Mac and cheese spatzule. So delicious!! Then we split the chocolate mousse. It was all marvelous.

Always an all sound great spot for some October fest inspired foods and a wide range of local and beyond craft beverages.
