    Superb Chester County drinks and dining! Always an amazing time at this hidden gem. The jalapeño gin-o-rita was so good! The drinks are 10/10 and the burger was delicious! Cute, quaint atmosphere. Cheryl and her staff go out of their way to make you feel at home here. There was even a live band on Saturday night. Such a great place- can’t wait to go back!

    Met up with friends for holiday cheers. The Smoked Old Fashion was devine. Our friends enjoyed various cocktails and all were met with 5-star ratings. I had the Salmon Wellington and it *very* good. I highly recommend it. The atmosphere was perfect for quiet conversation and the old stone walls created a warm, cozy aesthetic on what turned out to be a very cold day!

    Food and service were excellent as always. Our party had the filet mignon, burgers, brussels sprouts, Montecristo, and the chili garlic nuts are absolutely delicious. Pleasant ambience, friendly service and delicious cocktails. Get the chocolate old-fashioned—it is absolutely fantastic.

    I was part of a party of 6 last night and they sat us directly in front of two musicians. It was very hard to hear the people at my table talk. I wished they would have sat us somewhere else. Otherwise food and service was great

    This is truly a hidden gem in Chester County. The aesthetic is an old barn, complete with stone walls and wooden ceiling beams. They distill their own gin and bourbon and the drink menu is truly unique and tasty. And you get a pretty large bourbon drink for the price! The menu is on the limited side, but everything we've tried is great. One of the best burgers you'll ever have, and the pork tacos are another go-to staple. I highly recommend reservations Friday/Saturday to ensure you'll get a seat. Note they do have live music Friday and Sat, so be aware if you're seated in the bar area. It's on the small side, so the noise level will be louder. I would 100% give this a try if you are on the fence.
