James Nichols
★★★★★8 years agoFantastic hidden bar. Look out for the blue and red door on the Main Street - you have to press and hold the doorbell to get in. Quiet, cozy, and very friendly staff. Great selection of beers, fairly cheap for its location, and quirky decor. Highly recommend, but please don’t come in large groups that might be quite loud.
