Open mic Thursdays, karaoke Fridays! Bathrooms are a bit grimy but - dive bar people come on! Just make a nest, sit down and wash up. Lovely patio on the side of the building just don't get locked out. Back of the building always smells like skunk outside if you catch my drift. Bartenders are all very nice, including the owners daughter who's recently started. I've been here several times in the last few years since living here and of the few bars in town- this one is usually the most lit. If you come early though the place is very quiet and you could hear a pin drop! Great service either way. Oh and if you're hungry? Popcorn.

True Score: 3.5 Stars…read more This is a laidback local bar, oftentimes with live music. It's not fancy, and the beverages are pretty standard, but the vibe is pretty good and no one will bother you. I've come here several times with friends and we've had a good time, each time we've come here. You can bring your own food if you want as well (they don't really serve food). Parking can be a bit tight on busy nights, so be prepared to park nearby if you get here later in the evening. The bartenders are friendly, even when they're busy, and they tend to remember their regulars. There's also an outdoor seating area. Thanks

The hubby read some of the other Yelper's comments and knew to go upstairs, really glad others mentioned that! The space is just big enough that you don't feel like it's tiny but just small enough to feel like you're right in the action. The bar tenders were friendly, they had lots of beer selections (not all on tap, many canned options) and the band turned out to be absolutely fabulous! Following Strange Brew on Facebook is a great way to find out about all their different shows (bands, trivia, comedy, etc) and I don't know why we waited so long to get there! We'll definitely be back.

May stop by again when it is warmer…read more Unfortunately, there is no sign on the door downstairs, at street level, to ask new patrons to go up the stairs, especially on a dark rainy night. A great thing is their response to Facebook requests for information. But, It was cold outside and when we came in, upstairs, it was cold inside too. So we decided to leave and find a place that was a bit warmer. Nite that there was plenty of seating and it looked like a nice venue. ***** Facebook response for parking. Thank you for your inquiry. There are a few options for parking including on street parking on both sides of the road. Our building is located on the right side of the road (Water Street is a one way road). There are also three parking garages across the street. Each are available for parking, two of them have signage that says otherwise but it does not apply to our business hours, 6pm till closed. There are a few other parking garages located in downtown within walking distance including Main Street parking garage. There is also parking available in the lot at the marina, about a two minute walk from us on the road running parallel with our road. Please feel free to ask any questions you have regarding the venue &/or event(s). Thanks! For the entryway their response: Sorry for delay, On the right side of the building their is a staircase. Although we own the entire building, we are located on the second floor.

On nights when it's a bit quieter a lot of times that I've been there bartenders on staff will start conversations and come up with random trivia or things to do that will include everyone at the bar and generally begin a group conversation which always leads to people meeting one another and having a lot of fun. I've never had a bad time when I've chosen to go in there. And while you're there do yourself a favor and get a shot of the in-house apple pie moonshine. It is a must-have.

Our server came and took our drink orders and provided us with menus. We chose the pretzel sticks that come with beer cheese. Entrees were the chicken tenders with barbecue sauce and the heifer burger minus the jalapeños. Strawberry margaritas completed the order. The pretzel sticks are served piping hot, you can see the steam coming off them as you dip them in the great tasting cheese. The are soft any nicely salted, just the right amount of salt. The chicken tenders arrived covered in a great tasting barbecue sauce. Baby carrots, a side of extra barbecue sauce, and blue cheese completed the dish. There are plenty of tenders in the order, enough so that we took some home for another meal. The barbecue sauce was nice and tangy and complemented the tenders perfectly. The heifer burger was served on a nice soft bun alone with crispy bacon and gorgonzola cheese. Could have had more cheese for my taste but no complaints on what was done with it. The burger was cooked a perfect medium rare and it was well seasoned and very large. It came with a large portion of French fries and pickles on the side. The fries were very crispy and stayed hot throughout the meal. This was definitely a great meal. Service was very good as our server was very attentive and took good care of us. Been here before and we'll be going back. A great place with a large enough menu that everyone should find something they will like.

With good reviews and a cool menu we dropped in and couldn't have been happier! We were pretty lucky as it was not that busy and we were able to get a table right away. The decor is eclectic and interesting. The staff came with a great smile and even better attitude; absolutely top notch! We started w the pretzels and beer cheese. Holy 6 pound baby Jesus they were good. They came out piping hot and the cheese was in a bubbling side dish. This isn't your typical dab of cheese in a plastic condiment container that is commonplace nowadays. I had the Arturo Sandoval (spin on a Cuban) as my entree and it was also fabulous and came out hot. If I was being critical, the pork was a wee bit dry, but that happens sometimes and it really didn't take away from the sando. Even the small side of pasta salad was outstanding. I'm lucky if I eat sides like that 1/100 times and this one I couldn't wait to finish. Great vibe, great staff, great food, and live music almost every day. Definitely gonna go back and if it's just as good will update to 5 stars.

Saw the offer on the menu . Asked about it and provided my I'd card and the waitress came back and said 10 % . Not sure why I wasn't offered what it said on the menu. But the man who was a big fat guy I might add clearly doesn't know what he's looking at . A military veteran who has not retired will not have an ID card , no way to verify his or her service . I wouldn't have inquired about it if it wasn't on the menu and if I thought I would be humiliated by some fat guy who clearly has not served himself . And doesn't know how to read or understand military I'd cards. Military personnel beware this restaurant has no integrity and does not stand by what they offer. Don't bother stopping Ret 1SG USAR
