The spacious layout welcomes you with a relaxed pace, where the buzz from friendly conversations blends seamlessly with the occasional clink of glasses. Whether you're settling in for a casual night with friends or a laid-back date, the atmosphere strikes a thoughtful balance—inviting but never rushed, lively without overshadowing intimate moments.
This isn’t just any local spot—it’s a place that carries the warmth of familiarity alongside a curious spirit. The bar, gleaming with an impressive array of taps, hints at evenings spent savoring new brews as much as old favorites. Staff move with genuine attentiveness, offering a sense of ease whether you’ve just popped in or are planning to linger.

At the heart of the experience lies a menu that feels thoughtfully unpretentious, where hearty comfort meets a touch of inventive flair.

It’s a place that understands the rhythm of casual dining—that satisfying moment of sinking into a favorite dish paired with a carefully selected drink, all perfectly suited to the feel of the place.
Those who find their way here often return not just for the food or the extraordinary beer selection, but for the ease of connection embedded in the place.

Had a pretty good time here. Was my first time last night. It was amazing. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Was a first date and we each got the Frisco. Neither of us had any complaints. Would definitely make this place a weekly stop. You guys are doing amazing, keep it up!

Lots of food, tasted great, although didnt have any beers, there seemed to he a million choices. Spacious, friendly, order up front and they bring the food to your table. Easy spot for a nice bite to eat and some beers if you'd like.

I was not prepared for the insane amount of beer on tap! Incredible selection, and a knowledgeable bartender that helped me narrow down exactly what I wanted. The food was delicious, and there was a variety of seating options. I also got a free beer with my entree

Only eaten take out, but I can tell you,the staff is friendly and helpful in our brief Interactions. Amazing atmosphere, but I'm single on business, so I haven't sat to eat. But on that same note, if your at the blackhawk, and hate phone calls, their online room service portal is down. Armored gardens is across the street,its been my go to and I have yet to be disappointed by a single thing I've ordered and I typically order weird shit rather then menu stapes.

This place is a vibe!! Where its date night or dinner with friends, this place has something for everyone. We have been a few times and havent been disappointed. The burgers are , 10/10 wraps and bowls. This place is a hidden gem! If you are a drinker they have like 100 beers on tap. They also have a really nice patio area for the summers.

First off I’ve absolutely loved this place. Came in to try it for the first time for lunch. Not much of a cider guy but today’s special was all the cider was half off so I dabbled. They have very unique choices from many local breweries which is pretty cool. 9 ciders out of 100 different taps so Many to choose from. Tried 4 different ones for 3 dollars a pop! Ordered the Cajun burger which was absolutely great. Kinda of a better tasting quality Steak ‘n Shake style patty. It wasn’t too busy but my food came out fast, hot, and fresh in like 5 min. Fries were piping hot and got a side a beer cheese. Service was great, Nikki never let my beverage hit the bottom before offering another. Definitely coming back again for sure.

The fish tacos were alright. The cheese curds were very good. This place has a very fun vibe. They have 100 beers on tap and show you how full each keg is. It looks very cool. Food is ordered at the counter and delivered to the table, drinks are at the bar.
