What makes it special: Game-day fries with rotating seasonings and shareable portions.
Who should go: Beer lovers and fry sharers
When to visit: Early evening before big games start
What to order: Buffalo fries, lemon-pepper fries, a local IPA
Insider tip: Order at the counter first to speed up seating.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Mostly street parking along Clement and 6th; metered spots open up after 6pm but can be competitive on game nights.
Dress code: Casual—jerseys, jeans, and sneakers fit the taproom vibe.
Noise level: Loud during games and weekends; conversational only at off-peak hours.
Weekend wait: 20–35 minutes for tables, faster if you’re fine with bar seating.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait; counter service moves quickly.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—seasoned fries, salads, and a few share plates work fine.
Vegan options: Limited—some fries can be ordered without cheese or aioli.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated fryer; cross-contact likely for fried items.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you’re both into beer and casual energy—it’s more sports hangout than date-night spot.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—counter service only, so just grab a seat after ordering. Groups may need to wait during big games.
Is it kid-friendly? Mostly adult crowd but minors are allowed until 9pm; no kids’ menu, just shareable snacks.
Best For
Better for: Group hangs, game nights, and hearty bar snacks paired with rotating local beers.
Skip if: You’re seeking quiet conversation, upscale dining, or strict dietary accommodations.
