City PagesMarch 15, 2013You must try the massive, deep, and golden waffle battered chicken sandwich. Served on an egg bun with a lily-gilding swipe of garlic-spiked mayo, clear your calendar for this one. Read more

Meghan KaneMay 10, 2014The buffalo wings have a very unique flavor due to the fact that thy are smoked. The limited-time-only vanilla bean porter was delicious!
Emily RapkochOctober 3, 2015Really good beer and great atmosphere. I highly recommend the Honey Rye Ale.
Check out their lagers! They’re wonderful and under-appreciated by so many.
They say the food will remind you of the North, and it does. Smoked White Fish that tastes like it is from Leech Lake and Porketta like it is from the Range. Love It
Johnny WentzellJuly 6, 2014Great place! Love the food, LOVE the beer and the people are cool too. A great addition to the neihborhood.- Heavy TableNovember 6, 2014We love the Light Rail Pale Ale and could happily spend a winter evening here sipping rye whiskey before taking the Blue Line home.

John HowardSeptember 24, 2017Cheese Curds, Jalapeno Boat 2 of the best apps on the menu. They are worth every penny.- Heavy TableOctober 10, 2012Fantastic smoked chicken wings, and the smoked roast beef sandwich will haunt your dreams with its unearthly deliciousness. Read more
Big Jim IPA seems like the obvious signature brew. And it's goes nicely with all the smoked fish-- just get the platter.
Every Beer I've had. The Smoked Wings Rock. The Beer cheese soup is awesomely smoked.
EllenSeptember 11, 2014Smoked Porter and Wild Rice Amber = best brews of fall. And smoked trout. Always smoked trout.- Trout and Spinach salad is loaded with fish and bacon, delish!
They just tapped the Light Rail Pale Ale today. Good beer with a hop forward taste. Nice and smooth.
Smokehouse Porter with the smoked trout wrap and garlic fries is the way to go.
Andrew KleinAugust 26, 2013They brew some seriously kick-ass beer here. The new Exile Pale Ale was my favorite.
The Snowpocalypse is amazing! Rumor has it that it will be gone by Friday. You must try it!- Heavy TableOctober 10, 2012Their Autumn Ale is delicious, and the Smokehouse Porter is one of the best smoked beers we've tasted. Read more
- Snowpocalypse Scotch Ale being released at 3pm this thursday (Nov 29th). Check their facebook for details and flavors!
Katie GaffaneySeptember 25, 2012For being new, I was impressed and super pumped to have a new bar in the neighborhood!
Great tunes - best of late 90s alternative. And great beer of course.
Try the smoked egg salad sandwich. It's a unique take and surprisingly delicious.- Big jim and smokehouse porter on tap. Rumors are that light rail pale will be back on sunday.
