Fun place with a great view of the river and live bands. The cook uses fresh peppers from his garden which were delicious.

Love it!! Great atmosphere and great beer selection! Really nice bartenders!
Cute little hole in the wall pub we come down here to see Homebrew comedy. They have a little place which they call the Hobbit hole with somebody that makes homemade pizzas which are excellent!
I have a great time everytime I'm there, always good people and great atmosphere! Lots of great music acts as well as comedy here too. Can't forget the pizza too, so good!!! Would highly recommend a stop in!!
Jon and T have done a great job with renovation. Staff rocks. Bringing great music back to the area. Corona may have slowed things down, but its cranking back up now. Great place to meet up any day of the week.
Went there last night for my first bar trip. I just turned 21 this past week. And I loved the place. The prices are good. The bartenders were very nice and the overall atmosphere was great. I felt very welcome. Was definitely a fun time and I will be going again.
Went on the wrong night and thought it was going to be a comedy show but ended up being an open mic night 💗 Oh my I had so much fun and I didn't even stay long. Can't wait to go back and get the full vibe but all the smiles and people singing cheerfully was cool to experience.
I was there for a private gathering. The owner was there and was very accommodating. I love the atmosphere and can't wait to go back on a happier occasion. I bet the place rocks on the weekends! Check it out!
What a couple drinks. Listened to a good local band. Went out on the back deck to enjoy a wonderful view. It was a very good time. I would definitely recommend this for a relaxing enjoyable night.
This place is a great place to go for a drink and a hang out with friends. Plus, they have comedy on Wednesdays! Who doesn't like to do a laughing good time?
A local treasure! Thursday night trivia with Thad is awesome and prizes are generous. The drinks are cheap and the atmosphere is exactly what you’d expect in this wonderful little town.
I went here during the strawberry festival and it was just a lot of fun. It's kind of got a dive-bar vibe, nice patio on the river. It's fantastic.
I love going to this bar when I am in town. Such a fun bar with great shows!
Good pizza, great small town fun vibes especially when Daphne plays!

Live music on weekends. Bartenders are good and attentive.
Great meeting place..
Very nice small town tavern. Band playing was great. Will be back for sure!
Nice new bar area. A little tight for watching live music but its doable. Really good pizza made from some guy in the attic.
Unusual way to get pizza. You text or call upstairs and tell him what you want and it's made to order and brought down to you in the bar.

Good bar but too small and crowded.
Great place with a river view
Prices are up. Seemed very clique-y. Not a soul said hi to me. Only the bartenders (who asked for my order)
Came in from out town, excited to go to the corn, but hours on the building says that it’s open all week, but it is not and owners seem not to care about updating hours anything in that nature and from other people they are only open thru Thursday- Saturday.
