To our trivia devotees:

We are thrilled so many of you want to be a part of trivia each week. So much such that we have built some guidelines and made some changes in order to best accommodate everyone with our limited seating.

We understand seating has become a challenge and some teams have begun sending a member in several hours early to hold multiple tables. In order to accommodate guests who are not here to play trivia, we will not be able to allow multiple tables for one team to be held before 6:30 pm. One table per team is allowed before that time. As tables open up after happy hour, you may combine tables together.

In order to help prevent the game of Hungry Hungry Hippos with the tables, we have also decided to move our trivia start time back a bit to 7:30. We hope this extra half hour will allow more time for tables to free up for teams post Happy Hour. We will have an employee checking in teams in order to help accommodate the best seating possible for everyone.

Again, our goal is to provide an enjoyable experience for everyone and we hope these changes will allow us to do so.

We will begin starting trivia at 7:30 next week February 6th.

We thank everyone for understanding.

Hello Library,

Unfortunately we will not be having trivia tonight due to the weather and the lack of an MC. Everyone stay safe in this frigid cold and we will see you next week when it’s 30 degrees again. Yay!

Due to the weather there will be no trivia tonight and we will be closing at 4 pm. Have a great snow day everyone!

We are open until 7 pm today. Come and see us!

Get excited for the holidays and join us Friday, December 15th for our ugly sweater party!🎄🍺We’ll have beer reps raffling prizes from 6-9 (you get a raffle ticket for each participating beer you purchase- unlimited tickets available😉)

Be ready to show up and show out, bigger better prizes if you’re strutting your stuff!! ✨

Sip into the season with our revamped coffee menu! ☕Discover a new seasonal favorite or cozy up with a classic.

✨We’ve also started offering cold foam!

Come in, cozy up with a good book, and try a brand new cocktail from our seasonal menu! Featured in this post: “Pearsuasion”, “Brave Brew Swirl”, and “The Cooler Purple”

🍐 Indulge in the warm embrace of autumn with our “Pearsuasion” cocktail – a delightful twist on the classic margarita that captures the essence of the season. Fall into flavor with this cocktail that pairs the rich, bold notes of Milagro Tequila with the warm embrace of St. George Spiced Pear Liqueur. A zesty twist of lime juice adds brightness, while our house-made Spiced Maple syrup infuses a cozy, autumnal spice. Sip on the essence of fall as you indulge in the Pearsuasion

☕️ Introducing the “Brave Brew Swirl”, a decadent twist on a classic White Russian that’s perfect for the fall season. Crafted with Heady Bella Coffee Whiskey from LaCrosse Distilling Co., Rumchata, and coffee liqueur, this cocktail is a harmonious blend of warm and cozy flavors. What truly sets this drink apart is its crowning glory – a velvety, cinnamon brown sugar cold foam that cascades over the cocktail like a cozy fall morning. The “Brave Brew Swirl” is perfect for those who wish to embrace this season’s brew-tiful charm.

🥃 Welcome the fall season with open arms with “The Cooler Purple”. We’ve blended the deep, oaky notes of Evan Williams Bourbon with the luscious sweetness of blackberry jam and our house-made Spiced Maple syrup. A twist of lemon adds a zesty touch, balancing the sweetness and making “The Cooler Purple” a well-rounded delight. With every sip, you’ll experience the comforting warmth of bourbon, the fruity allure of blackberries, and the subtle charm of spiced maple.

Sip, savor, and let the comforting flavors of our new cocktails envelop your senses in the essence of autumn. 🍂🍁

Oktoberfest food specials are going strong tonight and tomorrow night! We also have Capital Oktoberfest, Staghorn, and Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest currently on tap! Come ear some good grub you will only see for one week out of the year. 🙌🙌😍😍

It's Bees Knees Week starting today! Not only do we have a Bees Knees cocktail on our menu but we are also featuring a Tom Cat Boulevardier. TomCat Gin isn't your typical gin.
