Everyone was merry and eventually got around to ordering food. Mostly office space types drinking on a holiday season Friday afternoon. Holidays are my favorite time for visiting pubs by myself. Everyone's in a good mood and chatty. \n\nThe beer selection was solid with an interesting selection of beers on tap. Lots of canned beers too. Nothing cheap. I settled on Holly Jolly by Fathead's. Flavorful festive beer. \n\nFood. I ordered the Flip Side burger. Very good meat, delicious and with a perfect amount of fat. Not too big either, which is fine. Perfect for lunch. Toppings were very flavorful including a generous amount of bacon. I will say that my burger was cooked medium, and I had asked for medium rare. Normally a mortal sin. Given the great flavor and festive holiday mood, I let it pass. Next time? Things would be different. \n\nNice place in a suburban shopping haven of Hudson. Service was excellent. Busy, but experienced bartender who kept a close eye out and even cycled people at the door. \n\nRecommended if in the area."^^ . .
