Great beer and burger place. Zero atmosphere. You sit with everyone else on benches at picnic tables, but the euphoria burger, sweet potato fries and salads are outstanding.

Drinks & Nightlife
Upscale Indian food in a nice setting. Service is friendly. We love their little samosas, butter chicken, and all the veg dishes. Air bnb lists as a bar, but it isn't, although they do have a bar.
