Fun neighborhood bar with daily drink specials, friendly staff and low-key vibe. If there is a major sports event on they will have the audio on for the game but otherwise it's usually music with the TV's showing sports or snowboard videos etc. Food options are simple bar fare like nachos etc. Known for the ridiculous 'Checkmate' caesar, ask about it!
Favorite Item: Special of the day!
Pro Tip: The high top tables by the bar offer a great people watching perch as well as a chance to mingle with other patrons.
