About

Bar: Full barBest nights: Thu, Fri, Sat

A mixed crowd of locals and visitors spreads across three rooms here: a tavern, a microbrew pub, and a dance club. The Bar is known for its brick oven pizzas, especially the year-round Mashed Potato and Bacon Pizza and the summer-only Lobster Pizza.

They brew fresh beer in house, with a seasonal Watermelon Ale fermented with 15 watermelons that comes out once a year. Happy hour and free pool draw a steady crowd early, while later nights shift to dancing. Dog friendly outdoor seating is available too. If you're hopping between spots, Partner's Cafe is a nearby alternative for a quieter drink.
