What makes it special: Gluten-free options are labeled on a broad comfort-food menu.
Who should go: Beer fans who need GF clarity
When to visit: Weekday happy hour mid-afternoon
What to order: Duck carnitas tacos; GF ribs; garlic fries
Insider tip: Corn-tortilla taco builds are the safest GF route here.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Public lot behind the block plus limited street parking on First Street; fills quickly after 6pm on weekends.
Dress code: Casual—jeans, flannels, and brewery attire fit right in.
Noise level: Moderate to lively—can chat at tables but bar area gets loud during games or live music nights.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes for a table after 6:30pm, bar seats usually quicker.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait, especially before noon.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—salads, fries, and a few taco and sandwich builds can be made meatless.
Vegan options: Limited—1–2 items with modifications, ask for no aioli or cheese.
Gluten-free options: Strong options—clearly labeled menu items and dedicated fryer for fries and wings.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes if you’re going for casual fun—craft beers, upbeat energy, and shareable plates make for easy conversation, though it’s not the spot for quiet intimacy.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—it's first-come-first-serve. Arrive before 6pm on weekends or grab high-tops in the bar if full.
Is it kid-friendly? Mostly—families come earlier in the evening. Kids’ menu and booths available, but volume and bar crowd build later.
Best For
Better for: Craft beer variety and clear gluten-free labeling surpass most downtown pubs.
Skip if: You’re after a quiet dinner or refined plating—this is more lively alehouse than fine dining.
