Corner of a parking lot location in an old school feeling downtown, entertainment kinda area .. the area feels sort of seedy/sketchy, with some vacant storefronts and in general a "time has left this area behind' vibe....which is not really a good thing....anyway pleasant enough inside with a downstairs, main floor area, with the main bar and a bunch of tables for eating/drinking/enjoying, as well as several, old school booths for additional seating. Up stairs seems more to be an event, or large group kin of area with a smaller bar and larger round tables for bigger groups.. Whole place has larger windows out towards the street scene.
Beer wise they offer 9 of their own on draft, including a variety of styles including a west cost IPA, a NEIPA and a west coast pale ale. I tried the NEIPA and it was tasty, fresh and enjoyable. Def would order it again. Typical chow offerings of things like burger, soups, salads and wraps, and a bunch of tasty sammies. Didnt try the regular food, cuz we were there for a group party...they laid out a bunch of Mexican taco bar chow and fixins and that was darn good...so based on that, I'm assuming their kitchen staff knows what they are doing....pleasant enough place, that is worth checking out
