    The pork belly skewers and chorizo sliders are the way to go here. I love the fatty parts of pork belly and the pork belly here delivers on that.

    Absolutely loved the vibes! They have a good amount of seating and serve you table side but you order food at the bar. Awesome rotating craft beer selection & yummy cocktails. Try the Allagash White.

    Surprisingly crowded on a weekday. Order the grilled artichoke and fries with your beer- you'll regret nothing.

    Great trendy bar. Great brew selection. I would end up here if a out of town friend is in the area but tend to avoid it cause it gets super packed.

    This place made me crave microbrews. It's a "Father's Office" -esque gastropub with gourmet burgers, beers, and a full bar too. Casual cool place to be in the valley. Read more
