  The first time I went they had no microbrews on tap with a total of 16 available taps!  It was very hot outside but I had to sit outside to avoid the super loud music in the dining area.  The waitstaff is more familiar with the locals then with the menu or the draft beer selections.   My dinner was vey good but small portions of sides.  Expensive for portion size.
  
  I tried this place a second time and they had one microbrew on tap but it was still very loud inside.  Surprisingly the food is still very good but the portions are again small.  Entrées aremain very pricey for this type of establishment.  I doubt I will try it for a third time even though I live close.

  This place use to be just a watering hole for the locals. New ownership has decided to go a litlle more upscale. I'm not sure what they are doing here. The place doesn't know if it wants to be a sports bar or a restaurant. I think it misses the mark on both accounts. They have a fairly decent beer selection, but, that's about it. The food is just a disappointment. Everything is priced insanely high when one considers the quality and quantity.

  It was my first time in this place and looked like a convenient place to stop.
  It's a newly decorated place with a cold draft and a few touches to remind us there once was a nice eatery here. I had an open mind entering this place, expecting anything, which quickly veered into the fact I'd walked into a back-wash slimey meat market that had forgoten how quickly the rest of the world lives, and how silly it all looks to anyone outside of their realm.
  We blanked the most of it enjoyed our company ate and drank, and besides food snobishness thought the meal was all good and cooked ok.
  I guess when we asked for the bill, the bartenders who among with the rest of the staff came across just wrong in a lot of ways, had also broken glasses into the dish-hole and not cleared up after themselves, which in-turn lead to one of them bleeding all over the sink, must have thought we were so drunk out of our simple little heads that we wouldn't be able to count our change! and decided to short us.
  Funny I don't know about anybody else but, I've never been short changed by someone, who knew how much the difference was, before knowing how much they'd given me first.
  I won't be back in a hurry, this kind of place can give these cute towns a bad rep and that is why I'm spending my time writing this.

  Granted, they recently opened so there are probably many issues to still work out. Quick synopsis of a Tuesday evening experience.
  
  1. Waitress swore three times in opening salvo of conversation. I am not really a prude but when my wife and I are going out to eat, sitting in the dining room and they have a 29 dollar steak on the menu, do you really need to say "sh*t " in front of your customers?
  2. Lipstick on wife's glass.
  3. 8 wings for 8 bucks......ehh.......tavern?? Why not a dozen?
  4. Burgers ordered med....cooked well done. They were tasty and well presented. Roll and lettuce excellent.
  5. When asked if we wanted dessert and we said no, the waitress exclaimed loudly "BORING!" I am not sure if this was an attempt of humor but seriously, who does that?
  6. Bill overcharged us, tried to get it fixed, they returned it with even more items added.....wow...
  7. For the love of god, please use spell check on your menu. Chirizo?
  8 You have an IPA on draft. For that I applaud you.
  
  It is a shame, I really hoped it would be better. Something to fit right between Hoots and the Inn but seemed like Inn prices with worse service and food Could be a great place for a beer but would not go for dinner.
