We arrived last night on a Monday, not long before closing time. The bartender and the door attendant were both fantastic—busy yet friendly. We really enjoyed the beers we selected from the tap list. The atmosphere was relaxed, with people chatting, playing shuffleboard, and enjoying the pool table, which was only a dollar! Overall, we had great service, great beer, great prices, and a wonderful atmosphere. It was an excellent vibe.
