On cooler nights or during inclement weather, performances move inside our taproom, so the music always goes on.

Enjoy a full menu of elevated pub fare at our Saratoga Springs restaurant while you take in the music, including handcrafted pizzas, stacked burgers, fresh salads, and shareable appetizers. Pair your meal with one of our house-brewed beers, a handcrafted cocktail or mocktail, a glass of wine, or a rotating selection of gluten-free beer and cider options.
