A local spot. Beer isn’t my favorite and despite having nothing but 18 different craft brews on tap, I used to frequent daily. Great way to experience and try new beers. Dog and kid friendly. Friendly vibes and great spot to strike up conversation with strangers if that’s your thing. They have a food truck rotation so good place to get a quick bite.

Want some southern BBQ? Give this one a shot. Try the 2/3 meat samplers if it’s a small party but definitely go with the butcher block if there’s 5+. You won’t find better value for quality meats.

Every Saturday during the summer until 1pm. The Amish donuts will always have a line but it’s worth it!
