Good top list of local drinks and other things. I had a Reuben fairly late night after drinking here a bit and it was delicious. Exactly hit the spot.

The Judge's Bench is a nice little dive bar that also has a "cocktail club" on the third floor. If you're looking for a little more upscale experience, or perhaps a more intimate experience, this is a nice place to try. It's a bit expensive and the service was a bit slow, but the ambiance was really great. Mood lighting all around, and at the right time some live music playing. Great for a date night or just a little treat with friends or family.

I've always wanted to stop in here for years but was afraid of getting the side eye from regulars. Felt super welcome and had great conversations with everybody!

Always great beer selection. Hundreds of whiskeys to sample. Try a flight of either. Good food also.

Amazing atmosphere, friendly people, and great food and drinks. It feels like some place from a fantasy novel. My experience was topped off by Anthony, who was a very welcoming bartender as a solo, first-time visitor.
