The Glass is Half Full

The glass, and our dining room, is half full. Thanks to everyone who has come out the past couple of weeks and joined us for a pint. You may have noticed that we took over part of our parking lot for waiting areas, spread out the patio seating, and recently, started seating inside. The rules [...]
