We stopped in as we were walking by to grab a beer. There is plenty of outside seating and the beer is cold. We had a great time chatting with others while enjoying being outside.

They need food - period. Drinking beer with not a whole lot else to do only goes so far. They seem to be doing well, but there is nothing to engage you, nothing to make you want to go back, nothing...
