TestimonialsA WORD FROM OUR GUESTS

Do yourself a favor & stop in!

Garth has a wonderful selection of beers on tap and a fun collection available for purchase, too. He was able to help my brother and I pick out and try several great beers. His knowledge and passion for craft beer were really apparent.

Jon Augelli

Local Guide

Great addition to the Monroe Street area

Plenty of cozy seating with room for drinks, board games, and food on all of the tables. I’ve been when it’s pretty crowded, and the space never gets too loud.

Excellent beer selection, and the staff are always happy to help make recommendations. I’ve had both the soft pretzel and the pizza available, both are delicious.
