There are no televisions anywhere in the room, a choice the bar credits directly with keeping the atmosphere social rather than passive, and music stays at conversational volume rather than filling silence. The 60-foot bar anchors a space that also includes cozy booths, a back room with a refurbished vintage photo booth available for private parties, and a fully enclosed beer garden out back called The Backyard.
Four rotating food partners run a casual, food-truck-style kitchen out of the space for breakfast, lunch, brunch, and dinner rather than one fixed menu. Friday brings craft beer and tavern biscuit specials from whichever popup kitchen is running that week; the bar is also sister to Bluebird Inn nearby.
