Gold Rail Bar

Bar

😠 Well, it was a very friendly bar...for about two days (???). Had a good selection of beer, much better than when it was the Brass Rail in the 1980's. I spent years here back then and loved it as a very cool watering hole-dive. Now it's run by a trendy, hipster jack*** that likes to act like a stuck-...

Inkwell Tavern

Restaurant

👍👍 It's very cozy inside. Tables, booths and bar so a verify if seating. The cocktails were delicious. The food was great. Our group shared several dishes.

👍 This hidden gem has a great bar area with a nice outdoor patio section. My wife and I tried the Cauliflower which was phenomenal. The Chips and Salsa is an entirely different take which we loved. The Salsa was something I'd never had before. I highly recommend it. The Shrimp batter was fresh and per...

Hog's Head Pub

Bar

😠 Went to the bar to order some drinks. Ordered 2 frozen butter beer and two shots of whiskey. The bartender LARRY filled the two shots and set them out front. He asked if we wanted the butter beer frozen or cold which I then again said frozen. He printed the receipt and got the two frozen cups....
