The Cottage

OK... so thanks again to Yelp and it's reviewers, I found a nice little bar and grill to go to for lunch!
I'm gonna stick with the trend... definitely a 4 star establishment!

Here's the skinny:
Where's the Door?
No Craft Beers...
Daily Specials!
Ooh... Patio

Here's the fat:
The main door to the bar and grill is a side door to your right as you walk underneath a trellis on the East wall. I wasn't sure which door to go into... There was on that said "Banquet Hall" and another door that kinda reminded me of a 16th century village house front door... that's the one.

I asked if they had any craft beers but, unfortunately they did not. They do however have a fine selection of import beers, the one I tried today was Tennent's Scottish Lager($4.00) - pretty good, not my favorite beer but it was A-OK.

The specials change every day except-
Wednesday - 49 cent wings
Thursday - $1.50 Sloppy Joes - these come with homemade potato chips.
Fridays - There's an all you can eat Fish Fry for $9.50 all day long.
For the current days special check the board to your Left as you walk in.
The Sloppy Joes are pretty darn good BTW.

There's a Patio out on the West side of the building, it's huge considering the size of the bar. It has some pretty neat brickwork and even has a wind shelter for smokers too.

Check this place out, it's a neat little pub.

The cottage is a tiny place, but at the same time it's kind fun. They have a back patio, which seems bigger than the bar itself, with beanbags to play out there. The food is actually pretty good too. Bartenders are allways friendly and quick. Not a bad little place to stop at.

I don't often write updates on my bars, but the Cottage earned an update. I came here for the first time on a Friday night, the next night, I was at another bar and had the bartender from the Cottage working. Not only did she remember me, she remembered my name. I love a friendly bartender and it makes a big difference in my opinion.

So we came back the following friday. New bartender, but she was just as friendly and attentive. She even overheard me say it was my birthday and insisted on buying me a beer and a shot. You don't get that kind of friendly service at all bars. Most bartender just serve and walk away. This place is small but fun and intimate and I will definitely go back again and again.
