After we started our renovation... we heard a rumor that the Taproom will be installing a $1 Million retractable roof.
No, that's some other place. But since you asked, here's some other things we're not going to be doing:

  • Charge you $5-$10 to come inside, just because everyone else is
  • Pass that $1 Million on to you through our drink prices
  • Tell you what to wear
  • put a lizard in our floor, so we can add $1 to every drink's price
  • Sue the City over a law and pass the legal costs on to the customers
  • Feature 3 lame cover bands, all playing Freebird at the same time on three different stages
  • Make you buy one hundred separate $7 beers to join our "beer club"


    • Be a Karaoke Superstar

    Karaoke every Monday, Wednesday and Friday!

    Are you a Wall of Famer?

    Check out the new "Wall of Fame". If you're a regular Beer Club drinker, come out to the taproom and claim some prime wall real estate. We've been around for a while and so have some dusty mugs. The barroom is cleared out and only the die-hards get wall space.

    All Beer Club members will continue to receive member prices and we still have your mug. We've just remodeled a little, ask your favorite bartender for your personal mug. If you want to be a Wall of Famer, come claim your spot!
