Great local bar. Very cool vibe on a Saturday afternoon. Had the Shepard's Pie - nice afternoon snack. Lots of IPAs on tap (7). Keep this in mind: CASH ONLY

Hole in the wall bar with a low-key atmosphere. They don't serve food, but the bar is a cool place to hang out.

Feels like home. Loved having the hot dog stand right outside. Bring cash or they have an ATM if you forget.
