We were relieved to find a cozy yet vibrant bar and pub offering a comprehensive menu of options, daily specials, and an extensive selection of craft beers and cocktails. While the crowd was small for a Wednesday afternoon in early April, guests ranged from what appeared to be local regulars to visiting families.
