This is a great place for families and groups. Inside is the tap area with a huge selection of beer, cider, kombucha and soft drinks on tap. Out back are the food trucks; from Hawaiian to Comfort Food to Poke to Cheese Boards... there's something for everyone here and no group check. Live music on weekends. This is one place in town I am never nervous about bringing my 3 year old son.
