The fact that this bar is located in a strip mall is somewhat counteracted by the local crowd, the plush lounge seating, the pool table, and the friendly service. Still, you’re in a strip mall, and that vibe never quite fades. I had high hopes for this place, given the website description, and they do ultimately have an eclectic selection of local beers and regional offerings, but they seemed to be out of everything I ordered... Unluckiness follows me. Still, on tap: Alaskan IPA, Dale’s Pale Ale, Anderson Valley, Deschutes, Grand Teton, etc. In bottles: Deschutes Black Butte XXI, Full Sail Session, some Rogue bottles (although half weren’t actually available), SN Keller, Lagunitas Red Chair, etc. Not a place to go out of your way for, but this is right off of 80, friendly, and reasonably priced. They had some stuff here that I hadn’t seen elsewhere, it just wasn’t exceptional stuff.
