“Easily the most relaxed, down-to-earth, cozy bar in the city. I brought my dog here often when I lived across town -- dog and family-friendly. Beer is always high quality and the bartenders are just beyond wonderful. (Shoutout to Geoff, Hannah, Joe, and Bear!) Highly recommend going in on the first Monday of the month, where you can catch a great jazz night. I've since moved to Philly but am moving back and when I do, you'll know where I'll be on a Saturday. :)”

“Pleasant little bar offering rare brews on tap and in bottles. Get there early before it gets mobbed. Maybe 10 tables inside, and a few out front. Place was clean, beer was delicious and cold. Very relaxing, neighborhood atmosphere. Dog friendly.”
