It's back – our weekly dog night on the patio! Bring your puppers in every Monday from 4pm till close. Yes, we still have our Build Your Own Pasta or Burger for $10 on Mondays — stop in and see us, and bring a furry pal or two. Just remember; despite the name, the pints are for YOU, not for the dogs. #pintsforpups #Rockford #rawkford #rockfordnorthend #gorockford
If you’ve looked at our backbar in the last year or two, you might notice our bartenders using a new draft tower. That’s because we’ve added 5 wines on tap. Why would a bar pour wine on tap? 1: Improved quality & consistency. Ever go to a bar and order a glass of wine and think, “Eh, this bottle’s been open for a few days.” With wine on tap, there’s no concerns about oxidation, or broken corks – the wine is pushed with Nitrogen, an inert gas, so the first glass tastes just as fresh as the last pour. 2: It’s more efficient. No time wasted cutting foil, opening corks, carrying loads of bottles upstairs only to have our crew throw them out later in the night. Which also means… 3: It's better for the environment. One keg is about the same volume as 26 bottles of wine, so that means less trash going to landfills or recycling centers, less manufacturing waste and a reduced carbon footprint.4: Better selection. Every week another winery offers new styles in kegs, so we're able to try new varietals more often — keep an eye on our list as we try out some new lighter styles like Tempranillo, Cotes Du Rhone and more for spring.
Every Saturday we brunch till 2 with loaded bloodies, mimosas and beermosas, then at 4pm prime rib comes out of the oven until we sell out. Grab the last of our smoked brisket sandos or brisket burnt end nachos (don't worry — we're smoking more off for next week but it's a 12+ hour smoke session), share an order of our new fried clam strips or our insanely popular hand battered curds with a buddy or three — the patio's even ready for seating if you want to soak up some rays ️. Kitchen rocks till 11 on the weekends. Bar till later. Call us 815.962.8758 for curbside pickup or to make a RSVP.
The pork shank — a hard to find cut outside of Europe, but we sourced some 1.5lb heritage Duroc shanks from @sakurapork in Iowa and we're giving them the al pastor treatment: marinated, seared and slow braised in guajillo and pasilla sauce, over cilantro garlic rice, beans, habanero fruit salsa and crispy Brussels sprouts. We've got 22 orders ready for this weekend — see you soon!
30+ drafts @nfl draft on 8 screens Black Walnut Old fashioned with our house pick @jeppsonsbourbon and maple syrup Fisherman's Platter back on the menu with fried cod, shrimp and clam strips Plus every Thursday we feature $5 off all steak dinners, $2 raw oysters and $5 off select bottles of wine. And we still have some planters to fill, but the patio's coming to life too – limited seating available, just ask the host when you stop in (No RSVPs on the patio because we can't control the ️🌡️ ). See you soon, #Rockford
Warm weather means it's time to change up some of our drafts… #newontap @3floydsbrewing Turbo Reaper, @firestonewalker @calisqueeze and a special keg of @firestonewalker_barrelworks Framboise. Plus it's Wednesday so wings are $1.25 each (get the lemon pepper!) and pub trivia starts at 7:00 p.m.– Tonight it's stoner trivia for the last round. Win a $50, $25, or $10 gift card every Wednesday for #pubtrivia!
