    I snagged an early afternoon drink here and was pleasantly surprised with the friendliness of the staff & the enormity of the place. Seating seemed limited, so you might need to be prepared to stand.

    Cool little bar. Awesome outdoor area out the back with cheap food on the BBQ / Grill and sweet tunes! Great to spend a couple hours on a warm afternoon with a few beers!

    Cozy and laid back bar that never gets too crowded. Play some Wii, have a lobster roll on Wednesday or a pull pork sandwich on Friday.

    The people are great here. Especially the bartenders. They have a nice patio that's open until 11 and show a couple games at once on big projectors if you are looking to watch sports.

    There's nothing spectacular about this place but, I've been coming here since triple crown days and it's never done me wrong. The bartender made a surprisingly great dirty vodka martini.

    Cool spots, cool brews. Enjoy the simple food out back grilled on the BBQ during the summer.

    I was hassled for a tip by one of the bartenders at this place. The lady went outside and followed me to give her a tip after ordering 1 drink ( it wasnt even her that made my drink). Embarrassing
