Christmas lights and candles illuminate the stage, where local and national acts tell it like it is and get the crowd moving. Rock and roots can occasionally be heard, cleansing the musical palate. Dim lighting and semi-comfortable seating add to the spot's low-maintenance appeal. Spirits, wine, and 35 types of bottled beer nicely accompany the tunes.

The microbrewery produces ales with more malt and hops than most mass-produced brews, resulting in superior body and flavor. Hearty pub fare helps to soak up the beer. Chrome brew vats in sight of the bar and dining room are conversation-starters, while live music and pool tables also get things going.
