What players say
Ok, before I start my review... Google asks me to "rate the food" along with service and atmosphere... To be clear, the growling does not make/provide food but in my experience (and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) but they allow outside food. ANYWAY... On to the true, honest review...
This is an awesome little bar with a ton of craft beer on tap. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable and the atmosphere is very chill and "hole in the wall", but in a good way. I also enjoy that the patrons are usually laid back and easy to strike up a conversation with.
A nice spot for a relaxed hang out with friends. Relatively small, but very good selection of beers on tap. The beer selection and amount of options perfectly suit the atmosphere. Something for everyone but not too much to overwhelm. The small pool table and board game selection round out the chill hang out ambiance.
The black light are is awesome. The service and the drinks are great. There is a pool table.
