“ Wonderful little gem that I still can't believe is on campus. Try fantastic cocktails inside! To be clear, all the beers in the flight came full ”
“ One of the better places on campus to eat in a nice environment. The food menu is not extensive but it is good. The place looks very nice inside and although it gets loud during peak times it is still pleasant. Outdoor sitting is much quieter. A few sockets are available here and there if you need to charge while eating. ”
