Reviews
This place truly feels like your classic neighborhood bar—warm, welcoming, and full of good vibes. If you’re local and haven’t been yet… what are you waiting for? And if you’re not local (like us), it’s 100% worth the drive. Trust me—you’ll be back.
They have live music, a fantastic menu, and a warm and inviting atmosphere. We had the wings—lemon pepper and bourbon glaze (both amazing!)—but honestly, everything on the menu looked great.
We joked that if we lived closer, my husband might just become their version of Norm from Cheers!
Don’t miss this gem!
Went in on Sunday afternoon, it was dead except for people at the bar. We seated ourselves and initially got quick service. However service dwindled, even with no increased patronage, so we paid and left.
Ordered the fries, beer Mac and cheese, and a few cocktails (alcohol and non alcoholic). The fries were absolutely fantastic. Best fries in town if I had to bet on it. However, the Mac and cheese was lukewarm and felt like it was terribly microwaved before it hit my plate and table. Extremely disappointed.
As for service, our server was mostly absent. Sat at a table with coworkers folding napkins and utensils for 20 minutes without checking on us while complaining about coworkers to other coworkers. Then retreated to be back for another 5 and finally came to check on us, at which point I cashed out and left instead of spending more money like I planned.
Atmosphere was good. It’s nice, has a live music stage, and a good amount of TVs for football. A good Sunday afternoon spot I’d say..assuming service is better. Unfortunately the atmosphere is deteriorated by what appeared to be a regular patron or two that accosted the staff, was pretty belligerent and pretty rude. Should I return and this person is here, it’s an absolute no go. The establishment should ask him to leave after he clearly has had enough yet.. he’s still being served.
I’ll try it again in the future but I’ll wait until maybe it hits its 12 month mark before I come back to ensure it’s established and the staff issues have been worked out.
Dylan was our server. We sat ourselves at a table in the back near the restrooms and had our drinks received and app order placed within 15 minutes of arriving. We got there close to 5pn and it wasn’t busy inside.
The cheese curds arrived hot with a side of marinara sauce. They are decent, but I wouldn’t call them cheese curds. It’s just mini fried mozzarella bites. They’re very (and I mean VERY) greasy.
My wife ordered her burger well done (you can have your burgers cooked to order, which I really like). There was still a little bit of pink in the middle but not enough for her to send back. It definitely had a char grilled flavor and tasted fresh (I had a bite). She’s not the biggest fan of char grilled flavor so if you’re not either, you may not like their burgers. But objectively speaking, they’re good quality.
My Philly cheese steak sandwich was the best part of my dining experience here. The meat was savory and juicy, the bread was slightly toasted on the outside but still soft with a nice chew. I didn’t change anything about how it comes (provolone cheese, peppers and onions) and these ingredients really enhanced the power house of flavor that this sandwich delivers.
The fries that came with both of our meals definitely tasted fresh. I’m not sure what they’re seasoned with, but it definitely has a mild, sweetness to it (maybe a barbecue seasoning). Again, my main gripe is how greasy they were, same as the cheese curds.
Lastly, you’ll be given the option to pay your bill with cash or card, with card being slightly more. I’ve seen this before back north where I’m from, but hardly ever around here. If you wanna save a buck, bring cash lol.
Overall, not a bad place. I won’t be running back here anytime soon, but definitely not going to stay away either.

We have been coming since it opened but before they even had the bourbon license to go with the name. The staff are very attentive and helpful, they get eclectic but talented music acts you won’t see here or even in Nashville on the regular, and the people we meet there are wonderful and varied.
The food and drink menus are solid. Great pours of drinks and snacks and mains that satisfy. I particularly like the proportionality and flavors of the Chips and Queso and Fried Cheese Curds!
Where the rub is:
This place has not invested or made plans to keep the temperature comfortable for patrons. My wife and I are very different resting temperatures, and both of us end up sweating , stuck to seats, and feeling very little air flow from the scattered fans and open windows. I love a beach/streetside open air bar as much as the next guy, but it helps if I am expecting that and prepared for it every time. Compared to the few other options around the square, it falls so short and distracts from so many things the staff does well to not have a decent temperature control inside.
The only other thing that I’ve noticed that is not great, is when off duty staff are taking up paying bar seats near the kitchen. It’s fine if it’s slow and not a big deal if those are paid seats, but as busy as this awesome place gets on a weekend or game night, it feels more appropriate that limited space is available for patrons.
Overall: A great and ambitious place with great things to try, dedicated staff serving you, and a fun atmosphere of people you can enjoy getting to know. As they continue to improve, I am sure it will become a well earned standby of the square and community for decades to come.
