What our guests are saying

Lovely gathering place. I appreciate the cozy rustic decor and welcoming atmosphere, went there with my book club , no wait for a table , placed an order and a second staff came to help to move the line faster. Orders came fast food was tasty, good drink choices. There is a live music and lane dancing schedule.

We had a lovely dinner sitting on the balcony. Ellie and Erica were so kind and helpful. The chicken sandwich and salad were delicious, but the rose lemonade was the best part. So fresh and balanced in taste. Will be back!

Traveling with our dog, this place is awesome, lots of space for all 3 of us, she loved her chicken bowl, relaxing on the couch. Beer on tap selection is solid, everyone is friendly.

This is the reinvented bourbon barrel and it does not disappoint. Same great, quality drinks but now with delicious eats. We opted to take advantage of the beautiful weather outside upstairs. Service was very attentive and friendly. Fried chicken sandwich probably was one of the best we’ve ever had…a must try! We will be back.
