~ Yes! If the lot is full you can park in non-restricted street parking across the street (Redoubt Road). In addition, unless otherwise posted our neighbors at St. Mark (118 Old York-Hampton Hwy) have opened their lot to our guests as well. We ask that patrons be very careful when crossing the street.
~ NOTE: Until the outside beer garden is open, if the lot is full it likely means the inside space is full too (please account for a wait for service for food & drinks).
Our conditioned taproom and outdoor beer garden are a first-come, seat yourself set-up. Ordering is done at the bar and we ask that you please clear your own tables.
We are often able to accommodate large group reservations and group tabs with advance notice. We treat our tables as “home base” and suggest spreading out once your party has arrived!

All animals must be on a leash at all times while on the property. Pets that are loud or disruptive to other guests will be asked to go outside or leave the property.
