Things are getting spooky around here — this skinny guy at the end of the bar is showing off some fresh @hopbutcher cans, we're working on the questions for our Wed Pub Trivia (this weeks theme – Vampire Movies) and leading up to our Freaky Tiki Halloween Bash & Costume Contest w/ DJ Nick Graceffa this Saturday night, we'll be tapping into some Halloween themed kegs, such as: @pigmindsbrewingco Jampire (sour with Loaded with strawberry, raspberry & hibiscus),@fairstatecoop Eternal Shrug Black IPA (dark & pleasantly bitter), and @ibw666 Ecto Slushy, a bright green seltzer throwback for the Hi-C / Slimer fans out there.Stay tuned to our Instagram to see current tappings or just stop in and ask for a beer menu.

The puns write themselves, honestly. We are getting SO MANY calls about our #Oktoberfest feature menu — don't miss the beer braised pork shank, @usingers bratwurst, knackwurst, smoked jalapeno cheddar and smoked polish, and Jagerschnitzel. And seasonally, our draft beer lineup is increasingly lager-centric, so ask your server what's new on tap and maybe hoist a liter mug or two. It's Wednesday, wings are $1.25 each and trivia kicks off at 7pm — tonight the last round is on Zombies!

Not too sweet!And since it's Saturday, we're brunching till 4pm and then it's time for #PrimeRib! #Artscene night #2 is tonight so come see all new art on our walls, enjoy our full #Oktoberfest feature menu, pizzas and snacks till late 11pm, and for the curious out there, Candy Corn infused @jeppsonsmalort.

#Oktoberfest continues with liters of German style beers on tap, sausages from @usingers in Milwaukee, huge soft @mkepretzel and beer braised pork shanks, just like you'd find in Munich!
