Great place to eat and have a few drinks. They have a good variety of beer and cider and an extensive bourbon list. They also let you order a mixand match flight, you could have beer and bourbon together. The food is very good and the service is excellent. I'll definitely be back.

Great vibe, food & service from Jamie. Went on Wednesday, which is trivia night...place packed indoors & outdoor seating area. Seafood is directly from a local seafood company...fresh off the boat.

Burgers were awesome! WE always try to stop in when we are in the area. Fun playing the board games available while we wait for the food. Very kid friendly.
