Great bourbon prices. Their 1792 barrel pick is exceptional.

The beers were fantastic, great holiday old fashioned, the Side Car pimento cheese was to die for, and the Hoosiers won! I'll never forget my experience there.

The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and offered fantastic beer recommendations. The food from Sidecar (which you can order from the bar) was absolutely fantastic as well. Overall, a fantastic place to watch football

One of our new favorite places! Close to home and within walking distance between warehouse district, dt, & cod neighborhoods. Their menu selection is amazing, with wide selection of ciders, beers, & bourbon, & pretty much any cocktail you can think of at also some pretty affordable prices. Turns out the food can be ordered through their neighboring venue, the Sidecar, which looks delicious and we cant wait to try it out...! Many youth and people were dining and having a great time which set the tone for the place :) We met a few of the bartenders, including Lee, who were really welcoming too. My boyfriend had some cognac and I had a coffee cocktail. Let me know what you think of it!

My idea of a perfect blend: great indoor and outdoor spaces, low key but great attention to detail, absolutely perfect for private events. Excellent liquor selection, friendly and knowledgeable staff.
