Willkommen! Try some German beers...and/or try German foods. We did both. It's cute - not very big....but come summer they'll open the garage door and be able to extend the fun out onto the patio. Yah!

We stopped in for a late lunch. Female working was so pleasant. Choices of beer on tap were great. Food was excellent. The establishment has revived the building as they were able to its use as a livery. Very unique decor. Loved it!

Stopped in for a couple beers with my dad after brunch on Sunday. Nice German themed bar with a laid back atmosphere. Cool little beer garden on the side. I'll be back soon to try out the food!

This is my first choice for taking guests both for the tap beer and food. Update for 2025. Still excellent, particularly their homemade chilli.
