I like that they offer 5oz pours of all their draft beers, so I got to try a few! They even do it for their guest handles. They have a nice sized bar with plenty of TVs, great place to watch a game.

Looking forward to going again soon and trying some more beers. Also, they play music, which is rare in bars nowadays. Everyone wants you to pay for touchtunes. Love the music!!

They had their own craft beers but also other local beers as well as a variety of ciders & seltzers on tap. Food was fantastic as well.

Recently stopped here while I was in the Hudson area with family and friends. This place was…read moreabsolutely cool to check out. This place had tons of people here and a great warm atmosphere here as well . The restrooms here were okay. The layout of the restroom was a bit odd just because it's a long hallway with a random urinal around the corner and then the random toilet around the other corner. There were plenty of seats here too nonetheless so expect this place to be busy on weekends. They have non-alcoholic drinks too for those that have to be the designated of driver. Always recommend parking behind the building in the parking lot unless it's a really slow. Prices here weren't too bad either. Overall, I highly recommend checking this place out for a casual visit.

It is easy to find, easy to park, spacious with plenty of seating and an outdoor deck overlooking the river. We were seated promptly and greeted by a very nice young lady by the name of Lorelei (quite a wonderful name). She was effective, efficient, pleasant, and made our experience that much better. At the entrance was a surprisingly well stocked wine cellar with some very good names. I was looking forward to a nice glass of wine for lunch. Unfortunately, the table selection only included a very few obscure names by the glass, so that option was out. The menu included all the standard burgers, flatbreads, and odds and ends one would expect. The food was good and we had a nice lunch. We finished with a nice cup of coffee and a pleasant smile from Lorelei. I very much enjoyed our excursion to Kent State University and "The River Merchant". I would recommend both.

Luckily Drew at the bar took care of us because table service wasn't happening. We play trivia every week and love to order a bunch of food. We kindly asked the woman server for a menu a few times. We watched everyone else get menus and service. We watched her sing happy birthday and enjoy the birthday party, we played 2 hours of trivia, we watched the woman server get down and boogie, but we are not getting table service when every table is. It's so strange because usually the service is top notch. It's a bummer because none of us had dinner and now we have to go somewhere else. :( I read the past reviews and apparently if they don't recognize you here, they won't serve you at the tables. That explains why the woman wouldn't bring us menus and completely ignored us. She doesn't know who we are because we usually have a younger, male server. Btw 2 more months for the pizza oven. They had a fire a couple months ago and they're still getting back to normal. Ambiance = loud af. You can't hear the person next to you. You can't even hear the trivia DJ and he has a sound system. You can't even understand the trivia DJ because he shoves the microphone so far into his mouth, his words are muffled. By the time you read the screen (since you can't understand him), the timer runs out. 5 stars for Drew 5 stars for the young dude server we usually have 0 stars for the woman serving on Tuesday 1 star for the trivia guy's enunciation 5 stars for location and being a fun place We decided that we are not coming back for trivia. Maybe we will for some drinks with friends. However, we do order several rounds of food and drinks for trivia. It's honestly pathetic and bad business that we were ignored like that. We may miss a week occasionally because life, but whatever. Rude. It's going to break Hollywood's heart that we have to go somewhere else for his belated birthday dinner. He loves this place.
