    Very nice atmosphere, not overly fancy but not a sticky college town basement bar. A little loud, but it was Friday night. Waitress was very attentive however, spoke very softly! I think that was just her voice as she could tell I couldn’t hear her well and didn’t generate more volume. But hey, that is pretty picky review. I think the menu had someone for everyone. We would go back.

    Nice atmosphere. Indifferent service. While they might have 100 or so beers on tap, they’re usually out of what I first order.

    Used a $100 gift card and they couldn’t figure it out. They said only $80 was on it but when I checked the balance the next day, they had charged the gift card $96.
