Great place for a drink. Good pub food, they do resource locally and the specials are creative and fun. Friendly crowd if you remain a stranger you must be working at staying that way.

Shrimp and catfish tacos were succulent! Onion rings were delectable crispy and fresh! Footlong hot dog was delish and you got so much more bang for the buck then buying one anywhere else.
