ben m: Solid ever changing beer list. Ask the bartenders whats new and exciting and taste something new. Easy walk over to the UC after pregame drinks.
Lauren Nelson: Sit at the bar upstairs for a sweet view of the skyline.
Josh W: Appetizers were fairly small. Order beer - the bartenders couldn't make a cocktail for the life of them. Sausages we're great, as were the fries. They had very creative/delicious dipping sausages.
