Boozy

Casual and hip craft beer bar, with 40+ beers on tap, many local beers included. Food Trucks often come in on the weekends here if you need a bite. Note that this is not a mortuary or a deli, the name is just a nod to a character/theme in George Orwells novel, "1984" The decor is fun inside and there is an outdoor patio in the back.
