The taproom is a popular stop for both locals and visitors, pairing southern hospitality with fun community events, corn hole and fire pits. The kitchen serves food from open to close every day.

Locals dig the casual feel, outdoor seating and live music under the trees. The kid- and pet-friendly patios, broad drink list and friendly staff make it an easy pick for a group, and the beers and events get high marks for value.
