We decided to try this place out finally and have a couple drinks for my birthday. There was about 15 of my family members that joined us, but no same day reservations. That didn't stop or BEYOND AMAZING server, Mike, from setting up tables, full with waters & pitchers of waters, silverware, condiments, etc., all within about four minutes!!! I cannot speak highly enough about Mike first off, not a single person went without feeling his care and attention! The Cherry Cider and Lime Lager were both delicious. We got the Bavarian Pretzel, with all the dipping sauces (stone ground mustard, honey mustard, beer cheese and queso) and the Spicy Cheese Curds. Both were seriously yummy!!! That pretzel was massive, and crusty but soft, just prefect! The spicy cheese curd did have a little bite and tasted like super fresh cheese! We didn't get meals as we were just celebrating, but I'm definitely going back to try other stuff out. Thank you Mike for being so above and beyond for my family and I!!!!
Went back again today (10-29) for a quick drink & pretzel after work. Sherri, the bar tender, was beyond amazing!!!! The pretzel was still delicious as well, I can't recommend it enough honestly!!!

Love, love love this place!! The food is always amazing and Donna and Sherri make me feel like I’m “home” when I come here. It’s hard to stay away from the green chili cheese fries though! The beer is brewed in house and totally fabulous! However, Sherri makes the best Prickly Pear Vodka Martini 🍸 on the planet! Don’t walk, run! It won’t disappoint and the service is FABULOUS!!
