This rebel, rock & roll gastropub is located in a renovated motorcycle garage and also features ping pong, corn hole and foosball on the lawn. There is this industrial meets modern vibe inside. And, it is very, very loud.



Because they are known for their meat, cheese, and snacks, we had to try some of those out. Here is a sampling of what they had available:

MOLINARI SOPRESSATA 6
HOT COPPA 7
PROSCIUTTO DI SAN DANIELE 9
BRESAOLA 7
PRAIRIE BREEZE CHEDDAR 5
TRUFFLE CRESCENZA 6
AGED MANCHEGO 5.5
DOLCE GORGONZOLA 5.5
PIMENTO CHEESE 6




The manchego and Gorgonzola were my favorites because I like a little funk on my cheese. And, we also had the deviled egg snack, which I think you just cannot go wrong with a deviled egg. I do like mine to be heavier on the vinegar scale, but these were creamy and tasty.



I tried one of the pretzel bites as well, though it was mostly that provolone fondue that I was after. I could take or leave the pretzels, but I will always take melted cheese.



For my entrée, I ordered the summer corn lasagna. From the outside, it looks like a standard piece of lasagna, but the summer corn adds some sweetness. It had some nice bold flavors, while also being super comforting. Two additional pieces of bread helped me stop up every last bite of sauce.



Overall, a tasty meal in a lively atmosphere
