The editorial take
A restaurant and brewhouse where the beer list carries the room. House beers brewed under Pete's and Dust Bowl brands sit alongside regional craft, imports, domestics, ciders and non-alcoholic bottles. Cocktails run to 11 named drinks plus sangrias, built on branded spirits from Patron Silver to Crown Royal. Wine covers the expected varietals by the glass and bottle, and Happy Hour takes $2 off well drinks, draft beer and wine.
- What should I order?
- Start with a house beer: Golden Stallion Blonde at 4.5 ABV and 10 IBU, or Halftime IPA at 6.5 ABV and 50 IBU. For a cocktail, the Ultimate Margarita uses Patron Silver, agave nectar and lime juice, hand shaken. The Makers Mark Old Fashion is another solid call.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups weighing a house-brewed beer against a branded cocktail, and anyone who wants a non-alcoholic option that goes beyond soda. Wine drinkers will find the usual varietals by the glass or bottle.
- When should I go?
- Happy Hour is the value window, with $2 off all well drinks, draft beer and wine. Some beers are seasonal or limited in quantity and may not be available every day.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Sangrias are 11.99. Featured cocktails run 12.99 to 15.99, with the Macho Margarita at 37.99. Wine by the glass is 9.99 to 14.99 and bottles 28.99 to 49.99. J Roget Brut is 5.99 per glass or 18.99 per bottle. Non-alcoholic flavored iced tea and lemonade are 3.99.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- House beers brewed under Pete's and Dust Bowl brands, including Golden Stallion Blonde, Red Hound Ale, Halftime IPA, Taco Truck Lager and Therapist Triple IPA, give the beer list a first-party core rather than a purely guest lineup.
