I came on thanksgiving night while the family shopped after dinner, I found granite city, but it was open but deserted. But to my surprise the bartender welcomed me and offered to stay open for awhile so I could have a beer. I had an IPA and before I knew it the bar had 10 other war wore shopper seeking a cold beer. I was able to have a few more before she called last call so she could close. Very rare to have such friendly staff on a holiday night away from there family.
