The tap list runs deep into local craft beer, fresh wine pours on draft alongside it, and a wall of well-maintained pinball machines — old-school and modern titles both — gives the place a reason to linger beyond last call. An old-school CD jukebox and a patio round out the vibe.
Free pinball runs Wednesdays, with occasional tournaments on the calendar, and the overall reputation holds at a strong 4.7 across multiple review platforms. Closed Mondays; the rest of the week runs 3PM into the early morning hours.
