I recently had family business to deal with and dropped in for a couple of beers. But that's not…read morethe whole story. On July 5th, I walked in and the place was packed. What I saw was a team that seamlessly worked together to make their customers feel seen and appreciated. It was like I watched an interpretive dance. If the bartender needed (for whatever reason) to step away from the bar, another employee filled her place. I even saw one employee asking the current bartender to teach her how to make a certain drink. I had the cheese curds, and they were so good that I asked for a to-go so I could share it with my family. Someone from the kitchen brought out my order. I said, "Please tell the chef that these are so good that they could be addictive." He smiled and said, "Thank you. I'm the chef." What I learned is that if I have a few sips of beer left in my glass, that's the time to let my server that I want another and perhaps the check (if that's the case).

Smothered in their tangy in-house BBQ sauce, this was a crowd pleaser. Shepherd's pie was extremely soft and creamy, and it was gentle to the taste buds and stomach. I enjoyed the specially brewed ale, not too hoppy and paired great with the spread. Not a fan of the fries, they could have used more crisp. Portions were huge, like Texas huge. Dark ambiance, booth and bar seating available, and decent service. Long list of beers on tap.
