Drinks & Nightlife
We love this local brewery, whose tap room is only open selected hours (currently Saturdays from 11-4, and Wednesday and Friday evenings). Big, friendly space, and well-priced local beers. There's no food service (except complimentary popcorn and pretzels), but they don't mind if you order in. The brewery also has free pool tables, and a kid area with mats, books, and toys. It's a gathering place for local families, especially on Friday evenings.
