Beer selection is not great.only a couple craft selections, but the happy hour food was good. I recommend the pulled pork nachos! Service was friendly but a bit slow. Overall, a pleasant experience.

Popped in here on a whim the other day to see what they were all about. Place looks pretty cool, old firestation, looks like a big barn on the inside, long bar, lots of seating, we were sat near the front of the restaurant, somewhat close to the bar. Menu is thorough and has what you'd expect, pizza, burgers, salads.
Beer menu is probably about 15 drafts and about 10 bottles, about 2/3 of the menu is "craft" and the rest is swill for the masses. They highlight local (Maryland) beer on the menu and offer a sampler of several beers on the menu. Seems like a decent place.
My waitress was nice and courteous but knew nothing about beer. She faked it, made several mistakes that I didn't bother to correct. She tried to recommend beers and I humored her and ordered one of the beers she recommended. At the end of the meal I asked her if the place was ever going to produce their own beer for sale and she gave me a long and really convoluted and likely fictional story about contract brewing and being "friends with the big brewery in Maryland I don't remember the name"...well I still don't know what their plans are but I'll hold out hope that they will produce their own beer one day. I will surely go back once that starts happening.
