Check the schedule to see which instrumental, turn-of-the-century jazz combo is playing next. Happy hour specials (between 5pm and 7pm) offer thrifty, right-on-time types $2 cheap beers, or $1 off premium drafts and specialty cocktails and wines by the glass.
Art shows--local, of course--change monthly. A brass vintage porthole offers a glimpse into the house taps, full of home-brewed beer. Worked iron also frames the lit-from-within bar. Look up at the iron beam which spans the wall dividing the bar from the dining room to see the daily specials; they're written up there.
