| - This is one of, if not THE, favorite spots of mine for happy hour. I think I've paid full price here twice, at most. Not because it isn't good, but $3 drafts/Pinnacle bombs and half off small plates spoiled me for the full menu. Their hummus plate is huge and very satisfying, but also light. The chicken tenders, pork sliders, and sweet potato fries are also delicious. That said, the Animal Farm is my favorite sandwich hands down.
I think it's cool that all of the dishes are named after something literary - chicken wings are Wings of Icarus, pork sliders are Three Little Pigs, etc. It's also a theme on the drink menu. The James and the Giant Peach (peach long island iced tea) is so good, but I just discovered the Peach Ring; it tastes exactly like a peach gummy and I know, that isn't a fancy book-ish name.
In the summer, they have a porch on the second level in the back and it's perfect. It feels like you're sitting on your porch at home because instead of seeing the debauchery happening on Carson Street, you get to see the neighbors - it really solidifies that neighborhood bar thing.
Only downfall is that the service suffers slightly when it's busy. I was standing at the bar for a good five minutes before someone even acknowledged that they'd be with me soon. However, I've had a hard time flagging down a server (who all wear short skirts and big glasses - nerdy, get it?) when it was a random week day afternoon as well. So that could use some attention. Otherwise, a great spot.
