Styles span pilsner to stout, with a strong Pacific Northwest focus. Wine and nonalcoholic options exist but get little play. A 4.5% service charge applies to checks.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Rosé Cider from Double Mountain or the Yoxi P.O.G. Hard Seltzer from Bale Breaker. For beer, try the Pilsner! From Urban Family or the Toby Cream Ale from Living Haus. The Belgian Blonde from Old Stove offers a stronger option.

How it sits with the food
Food receives mixed reviews, with a pretzel snack enjoyed by some and wings criticized for price and taste. Beer styles like pilsner and kolsch could complement lighter fare, while stouts and IPAs might pair with heartier dishes.
