Went here for the craft beer and to sample the food. I ordered 3 different beers (R-Mills Stout, Elk Orange IPA and Einstok PA) and all 3 were incredibly warm. Not like a "Oh I love my Bud Light frozen" type of complaint, but I wouldnt even want the heaviest of stouts served at this temp (had to be 60+ degrees at least). Each pour would just fill the glass with foam and the waitress would have to scoop it out 3-4 times before there was enough beer in there to server. Was going to go for a few glasses of No Rules but no way was I going to risk the money on that being lukewarm and flat as well. As for the food, I saw some compliments in the reviews how its "better" than normal bar food. No, its just normal bar food. I got the Butter Run Deli sandwich and it was pretty plain. They put the condiment on the side instead of on it for some reason. And it didnt even have any lettuce (I forgot to check if it was even supposed to come with any). The fries were typical frozen fries, but a bit undercooked IMO. My buddy got the Quesadilla and it did look pretty good, and was pretty big for the price. But honestly anyone trying to hype this as anything but normal bar food doesnt frequent very many bars. They do have a huge bourbon selection, which is why my buddy invited me to go. I dont drink bourbon but if youre looking just for bourbon then this is one of the better spots in the area. Ill say the wait staff was extremely nice. Never had an empty glass, very talkative and funny. Probably the only highlight of the bar IMO. I wouldnt go back though. I was mostly interested in the beer. And Ive had problems with a few locations serving their beer too cold and you have to let it sit for a bit, but this is a first for me for having beer that was too warm, and I hope I never go to another place that does it like that again.

Went late in the afternoon when it wasnt quite as crowded. My wife and I arent big drinkers, but we went for the food. Everything from our appetizer to the entrees was fantastic. There was one item that we werent totally satisfied with, but our waitress Karen immediately offered a replacement at no charge. Would absolutely recommend to anyone in the Shores area.

totally overpriced food menu, onion rings expensive and greasy like youve never seen and just because i got a bun instaed of toast for my grilled cheese i was overcharged and payed almost 8 dollars for grilled cheese and onion rings, which were digusting. if you come here plan on stopping at the bank, and bringing a boatload of cash with you.

Cute, cozy and comfortable place!! Small outdoor area, good for nice days when you want to eat or drink outside!! Food is great, drinks are reasonable and the service is excellent!! They also have a Bloody Mary bar on the weekend thats nice to enjoy with any of the killer breakfasts :)

Great place to visit for their whiskey selection and atmosphere. The food was decent and the cocktails were average - but this isnt a craft cocktail lounge, so the wide selection makes up for it. I especially appreciated the Pfeiffer Beer statue on display.

Some of the best beef barley soup I have ever ate. Their Cream Ale is good also. Nice little neighborhood place. Late and around dinner sometimes can be hard to get a table because of it size but nice friendly place.

Largest whisky selection in the area and excellent food. The waitstaff is attentive too. The prices are a little higher, but worth it. Its also louder than most bars, but dont let that keep you out.

Good price $5.99 for burger, beer pint, fries lunch special. They asked me how I want my burger cooked; I said medium; it came well done. Oh well. Still a good burger. Id come back here.

Average food, our waitress wasnt quite on the ball. My drink was empty for a while.. And I was half way through my food by the time I got a new one. Food was decent and fair priced

Excellent food and an even better selection of whiskeys. Its like an upscale pub with a knowledgeable staff but with none of the pretentiousness. The ribs are amazing.

This is a small place but has a warm feel to it. The food here is excellent. The prices are very reasonable. Just wish they had trivia or some form of entertainment.
