Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program at this barbecue spot leans heavily on beer. Happy Hour lists Coors Light and Yuengling Lager cans at $3, plus select draft beer at $5, and the venue keeps a beers-on-tap page while describing itself as a local favorite for local craft beers. Wine is limited to a $5 Happy Hour pour under the bar section. The beer side carries the program; the wine side is a single, plainly priced option.
