Description

This tavern divides its space into separate dining and bar areas, serving up a menu highlighted by firecracker shrimp, wings, and burgers. Along with lunch and dinner, it features daily happy hour specials and a popular weekend brunch. The vibe shifts when the TVs turn on: while normally a comfortable spot to unwind, it can become very loud when sports games are televised. For visitors hoping to escape the game-day noise, the kitchen also shares its menu with the bar next door.
