“The atmosphere is comfortable, you can come however you are and it’s very casual,” Donna Sarkisian, owner/manager, said.
They also feature something called “craft beer flights.” This includes a beer sampling of four draft beers. The draft list changes and if there is something of interest, you need to act fast. There is a Facebook page for the release dates of the different selections.
