The atmosphere at the Homestead cannot be beat. Especially the upstairs. There are few places that I enjoy visiting more for a beer and really tasty appetizers than the upstairs bar, with its comfortable couches, fireplaces and great music.
Besides the incredible appetizers, the food is pretty hit or miss. I've had some great meals here (some of their salads are awesome) but also some really terrible ones (skip the pizza. Really.). Despite the fact that the food isn't great? I keep going back because the vibe of the place is just that good.
