Our go to location during wedding planning, especially considering the proximity to our reception venue! Stop by for great food and great craft beer.
Another awesome patio, but this one is covered! Close to the venue with great beer options. Can be a little busy from time to time if the big game is on, but always a fun stop.

An eclectic "museum" that is really a work of art. Every inch is constructed out of everyday items that you would never imagine go together to make such a fun and unique place to drop in. This was a top contender for our reception venue but needed bigger space for the bigger party!
