This place is a local gem! There is the restaurant side that serves incredible food and cocktails, but there is also the theatre side where you can see a movie for cheap while eating from their cafe' style menu, and drinking the locally brewed Broken Tooth beers! Each month, they put out a new first tap brew to correspond with live music shows.
