Amazing experience. The open mic for musicians made the night memorable with senior and new talents and the quality of the beer is phenomenal.

This was a nice spot for dinner and drinks. The only note was that trivia seemed to run late and very long. We left at 9:30 and were only 3/4ths the way through the game. He was averaging 8 mins per question. It was a nice time and hopefully next time we’ll be able to finish the game. Ross was a great server
