Such a great experience tonight. We were in town for vacation from Texas and stopped in for dinner. The server was so friendly, relatable, and welcoming. The food was fantastic. Extremely flavorful and just what we needed to and our trip. The chef Nick is incredible and so creative with his dishes. He came out to the table and chatted with us several times. You can tell he loves what he does!!! If you are looking for great food, low key chill environment, and friendly staff… this is the place. Next time we come to town, this place will for sure be our on list of places to come.
Thanks for a great experience tonight y’all!!!

I like the vibe on this place generally. They have a great beer selection, even if it’s a little IPA heavy. The food is the real revelation here. The menu is smart with unique takes on staple menu items like their braised buffalo chicken wings. They taste terrific, but are so different from your standard wing experience.

If there is a knock on this joint it’s the condition of the bar. It’s run down and feels dirty, even if it’s not. The service makes up for that, but not completely. Great stop on your Marblehead pub crawl, to be sure.

5 stars. My husband and I stumbled on this place looking for a later-night joint. We came for 3/4 nights while in the area. The food is legit, the beers on tap are killer, and the employees/chef are lovely. Run, don’t walk.
