A heavy-metal themed brewpub with creative house beers and popular NY/New Haven-ish pizza by the slice or pie; loved for vibe and beer variety, but service inconsistency and occasional pricing friction appear.
Restaurant Summary
The room feels warm and bustling with heavy-metal art, pinball, and campy movies looping behind the bar. Bartenders often guide folks through a deep beer list, and slices hit the table hot. Some visits glow—"felt right at home"—while others run into service rough edges during busy shows. The cooking leans classic American brewpub with creative pizza riffs—think jalapeno popper pies, cream-cheese dotted specialties, and a rotating fig prosciutto number—plus wings, sandwiches, and house hot sauces. Beer flights reward curiosity; it suits casual hangs, pre-show bites, and anyone who loves personality over polish. For families, the food is naturally kid-friendly: cheese or pepperoni slices, wings, and plain pies work well. Do note the loud energy during shows and occasional $5 cover; earlier hours on non-event nights are best for kids.
