This is one of the coolest bars in the area 100% worth traveling to. I have never once come here and have had a bad time and I have tried out almost all of the events. I love coming here with friends and loved ones. Be prepared they do not have food but plenty of GREAT places near by that will deliver, or even walking distance. I HIGHLY recommend this place soooo much. 100% recommend.

A nice local spot, very friendly bartender! However you should definitely visit this place with friends, going solo is a bit odd because of the seating!

Awesome place to see shows and grab a beer. Prices aren't bad either. Also a great place to play soundwise if you're a musician. All around cool vibe and fun place to spend a night out.

Strange Brew is a pretty cool little bar with a good atmosphere and from the looks of it is always packed. There's a massive selection of beverages here but there's so food so bring your own or eat beforehand if you're staying for a long show. This bar also supports the local community by allowing local artists to display their art and sell it, which I appreciate as an artist.

This is my favorite local bar. They have a lot of different events that can range from edm themed nights to the emo nights that sell out and tribute nights. Like the Limp Bizkit night, ADTR night, Deadmau5 night - they have range! This place has a fun atmosphere with great music all around. Love playing pool or foosball with friends and sharing drinks. Would recommend!

Absolute local gem! Small and intimate enough to get to know the staff and regulars, but offers big fun and entertainment. Just a great vibe all the way around. Their tribute shows have been some of the best I've seen. Love it.

Awesome little bar! Great people work there and they hold live events pretty much every weekend from karaoke to concerts/dances and costume contests. Nice blend of different people also, various ages, ethnicities and locals/nonlocals. Very welcoming and I am very glad I found this place in my own town! 😊 …

I went there because they have a dungeons and dragons night. I have not played in over 30 years but this truck is a really cool idea to do in a bar. I went in today to pay my cover for the next weeks game which will be on Thursday night. They have a dinner table I'm going to bring my best friend. I'm not serve food but they allow you to bring outside things like pizza.
