Excellent start to what we hope will grow into a staple in our downtown! Service was amazing, first off. Drinks from the menu were fantastic and unique, and the appetizer and entrees were very good! The menu is a bit sparse, but it IS a pub, and just getting it's footing as a new venue, completely forgivable. The variety of options makes up for the small menu, along with unique desserts and local flavors, giving the place a "home grown" vibe. The ambiance is friendly, and reflects a pride in our little town's history. We will definitely be coming back, and we are excited to watch this new business grow!

This was our first time, and it probably won’t be our last. I brought my sons here to celebrate one of their birthdays, and I have no complaints. Our server was fantastic. The food was good.

Love the new place. Didn’t care for one of the owners of the previous place. This staff was very helpful and friendly. Food was delicious. Can’t wait to see what other items are added to the menu in the coming months. Ribeyes would be nice. Will be back.
