The menu splits the difference between gastropub ambition and the stuff people actually order on a Tuesday — Prime Beef and Bison Burgers, 'General Happ's' Fried Chicken, a Fish & Chips plate, truffled mashed potatoes doing more work than they need to. Craft beer and a real wine list keep it from reading as purely a sports bar, even though during football season it absolutely moonlights as one: Thursday through Monday, $7 bar snacks and $3 domestic bottles run all day, a real documented special rather than a rumor.
Gluten-free options are built into the menu rather than bolted on as an afterthought, which says something about who's actually running the kitchen.
