Landed here after a long drive and immediately felt at home. Friendly bartenders and a patio worth lingering on.

Came for one pint, stayed for three. The IPA board is stacked and the crowd stayed easygoing.

Perfect for GroupsCozy Taproom

Perfect Saturday stop. Dogs on the patio, a food truck in the lot, and enough seating for the whole group.
