A group of us from out of town for a wedding visited here to have a few drinks. Immediately upon walking in, everyone was so welcoming and helpful. The bar was spacious and comfortable, accommodating a large group of us easily. As the night progressed, they let my friends take over the Bluetooth speaker and dance, lined up shots for us, and gave us pint glasses that we mentioned we liked(wrapped in t-shirts!). We had so much fun, the beer selection was great, and the vibe and friendliness was even better! Highly recommend.

One of the only places in Rutland with actual cocktails(think Moscow Mules and Pimm’s Cups) on the menu. The food and drink aren’t anything fancy, but they are executed well and reasonably priced, which puts them and heads and shoulders above the competition. The bar is cute, clean, and a nice place for 20 and 30-somethings to hang out.

This little bar is quaint, hip and filled with cool personality. The service is amazing. Great atmosphere and super comfortable. The Moscow mule is the best. Copper mug, fresh mint, great ginger beer and served ice cold! The food menu is diverse, reasonably priced and hip. Put this place on your bucket list. Joe, the owner«gets it»!

This is a new pub, and I wanted to like it so much. In the end I feel like there are lots of kinks to sort out, but I will definitely return and hope to update my review. This feels like a more city pub, catering to the instagram mets and hipsters of Boston and NYC who come skiing. Service — service was GREAT! We sat at the booth and both bartenders made friendly conversation and checked in multiple times. They also have lots of board games here(yay games!) Food — the thing is, my expectations were so high because the menu conceptually is AWESOME. Execution is Meh. Look at the Angry Vegetarian, delicious veggies piled on TATORTOTS? How good does that sound. Or even the spicy chicken wings with chipotle dipping sauce. Even the buffalo Mac and cheese sounded so good. The execution of these dishes did not live up to expectations. For the angry vegetarian, something was funky in the Brussels sprouts that gave the entire dish a weird smell/taste. Cant pinpoint it. but the sprouts were soggy too. I would usually just pan fry them in garlic and lemon juice, so I’m not sure what they did to theirs. The buffalo Mac n cheese was their normal Mac n cheese with buffalo tenders cut on top. I thought the buffalo flavor would be incorporated into the cheesy goodness. Speaking of that, they needed to let the dish sit in the oven for about 10 minutes more in order to let the cheese set better. It was still liquidity and didn’t have a great crunch on top. The chicken wings themselves were ok, but the carrots and celery sticks that came with them were sad. So sad.(Pictures included). Celery can’t cost more than a few cents per stick so I’m not sure why they cut back on that. When wings are super spicy, the celery drenched in dipping sauce helps!

Coolest bar in Rutland. Good food. Great look, very natural atmosphere. Friendly staff. Hipper music playing than any place I’ve been in a hundred mile radius. Lots of cool theme nights, but not in a lame sort of way.

Great food, friendly staff, inexpensive, and good atmosphere. They could use one more waiter on staff during the busy times, and the food doesn’t come out super fast, but if you want some good bar food at a great price this is the place. Oh yeah, and nobody in Rutland had a good buffalo wing until now.

This pub is so much fun; they even have a bunch of board games). The food is inexpensive and they have some really great dishes. I likeThe Good, The Bad and The Ugly, which is a blooming onion, with fried banana peppers and fried pickles. I also like the Montréal Turkey Salad; it is such a great salad, which you wouldn’t expect from a Pub. They have good beer on tap and also offer some microbrews in 22oz bottles. You will see me there often.

This is a nice quiet bar as that is the market niche they are looking for. Menu looks nice and a nice selection of adult beverages. This is a nice place to come for a relaxing quiet atmosphere to enjoy conversation without shouting Menu looks promising but have not tried anything yet therefore rating is only based on atmosphere and staff friendliness
