Live music was just loud enough. Grabbed a table, ordered a flight, and lost track of time.

Landed here after a long drive and immediately felt at home. Friendly bartenders and a patio worth lingering on.

Came for one pint, stayed for three. The IPA board is stacked and the crowd stayed easygoing.
