The editorial take
The beer program is the anchor here, with a tap list running from Mich Ultra and Hamms to Surly Furious and Sierra Hazy Little Thing, plus a 16oz can list that covers Budweiser, Modelo Especial, Grain Belt, and Sociable Cider Dry. Non-alcoholic drinkers get Mich Ultra Zero, Guinness 0.0, and Athletic Free Wave Hazy IPA. The full bar mixes classic cocktails using standard recipes, and wine is available by the glass and on tap as Prosecco. Happy hour discounts generally take one to three dollars off drinks.
- What should I order?
- Start with a tap pour of Surly Furious or Sierra Hazy Little Thing. If you want something lighter, the 16oz can list has Grain Belt and Modelo Especial. Non-alcoholic drinkers can order Athletic Free Wave Hazy IPA or Guinness 0.0.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer drinkers who want a wide spread of domestic and specialty options in bottles, cans, and on tap. Also a fit for groups where some people want a classic cocktail or a glass of wine and others want a non-alcoholic beer.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour, when discounts on beer, wine, and cocktails generally reduce the cost by one to three dollars per drink.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Happy hour discounts generally reduce drink cost by one to three dollars per drink, depending on the featured selection. No other pricing is listed.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The range of the beer program stands out: ten taps including Surly Furious and Guinness Draught, a 16oz can list with Modelo Especial and Grain Belt, and bottles like Miller High Life and Coors Banquet. The non-alcoholic menu board with Guinness 0.0 and Athletic Free Wave is more than an afterthought.
