Good selection of beers and the tacos were pretty filling. The only thing missing was patio seating out front for me. Friendly service as well. Artwork in the washrooms is brilliant lol

very peanut butter friendly: peanut butter stout, whisky, and wings(fresh not frozen, quite noticeable). requested a layer of peanut butter on their $7 burger offering and was so affectionately slathered. staff are inviting and warm blooded, decor nostalgic and memory inducing, pinball, board games and 2 consoles. Overall a well crafted establishment for well crafted unpretentious people.

Everything is awesome. The craft beer selection? Awesome. The canned beer selection? Awesome. The menu? Awesome. The vegetarian options? Awesome. The service? Awesome? The music? Awesome? The signed photo on the wall from Jake "The Snake" Roberts? Hell yeah it's awesome.

Great ambience and friendly service. The side fry portion was disappointingly small. I was also slightly concerned to see saucy tacos getting served directly on a wooden cutting board—this is frowned upon from a food safety perspective. wood is more porous than ceramic and so can’t be properly sanitized by a commercial dishwasher, it’s also prone to cracking and then bacteria grows in the cracks. Putting down parchment on the cutting board would be a simple fix. Otherwise a lovely experience, I’d happily come back.

This has quickly become my new spot for a casual beer with a friend. Nice rotating beer menu and good vibes in there. The music/video is pretty eccentric. I discovered Base Wars on one of their Super NES consoles which is insanely fun.
