All we can say is WOW!

Last night's Comedy Night was AMAZING! Jake Snell, Antoine McNeail, Will Pascuzzi, and Patrick Rohde absolutely crushed it in front of a packed room! We must say it was one of the best shows we've had. Thank you so much to everyone who came out and enjoyed the show. Finally, a big thank you to Jake, Antoine, Will, and Patrick for keeping us laughing all night long.

Make sure to keep an eye out for more upcoming events!
Until then, cheers 🥃

Scottish folk music, flights of Scotch, and ci**rs... what more could you ask for?

Yesterday, we hosted one of the most unique events we've ever had. A Scotch flight pairing set to a local traditional Scotch folk band, Lochanside ! Together brought a one-of-a-kind tour of Scotland.

Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the experience with us. And a big thank you to Lochanside for coming out and serenading us with your incredible music. Make sure to give them a follow to support their band.

Cheers🥃
