The peanut butter bacon burger is definitely worth a try!
Nathan SummersonNovember 23, 2019I said it already but a great selection. Foods average but fish tacos kick ass.
Are you a beer lover? There are over 180 taps here. That's all you need to know.- Try the water, barley, hops and yeast sodas they serve! Ask for them by name
Great lunch spot! Try the Baja Fish Tacos or a Taco Salad.
Try the beer genius or just ask the bar tenders for their recommendation. Love this place - rather chill.
Mary SueFebruary 22, 2014They messed up my order and when I told them they brought me the wrong food they were annoyed and asked if I wanted them to fix it. Are you serious? No it's ok I'll eat & pay for this random food! 💔
This bar hangs is balls to the wall. No really, there are big brass balls on the wall. And they are big.
You can play Pengo here on the old-school arcade machine. Oh, and the beer is good, too.- Try a beer cocktail! My favorite is the Snickers = Rogue Chocolate + Rogue Hazelnut (50/50) $4.75
