With a 4.6-star rating from over 500 reviews, the establishment is known for its extensive and rotating selection of beer, wine, and mead, which lines the walls of the bar. Guests often note the casual, lively vibe, which is complemented by a curated music playlist and a variety of board games and trivia available for patrons to enjoy. Beyond the main bar area, the venue offers a distinct experience with its "hidden" speakeasy, Pigtails, located toward the back of the establishment.
