Y’all know how much we love pickling pretty much everything. We used our watermelon from the .gem.farm CSA box to make these delicious little pickled watermelon rinds! They’re sweet and tangy and definitely one of our more unique lil sides. Seriously, give them a try we promise you’ll love them!

08/18/2022

We have a new(ish) sandwich on the menu! Our Pancetta Butty is just like a classic PL(A)T but on a soft toasty brioche bun. It’s an instant favorite and pairs well with the Mai Tai IPA! It’s an amazing hazy that drinks lighter than your average IPA. Aromas if passion fruit, guava, and lychee come from the Mosaic hops. Even IPA haters will love this one, c’mon by and get it while you can!

08/17/2022

Not in the mood for a whole bottle of wine? Well good news we have these adorable lil cans of delicious wine! They’re the perfect size to accompany whatever lunch or snack tickles your fancy.

We also serve 2018 Zabala Arroyo Seco Riesling and 2021 Electric Ladyland by the glass!

08/13/2022

Have you ever seen a prettier beer?? The Whiptail Watermelon wheat beer is light and refreshing with a delicious watermelon flavor. It’s perfect for a hot day!

On a side note, Sad Saturday has started! From 2-5pm, we run a draft and underberg deal. Any draft pint and an underberg is only $10! (We only poured a half pint, but you get a full pint we promise)

08/11/2022

If you know us, you know we’re huge nerds. When released the Weapon X, we had to get our hands on a case! This IPA features Citra, Nelson, Columbus Cryo, and Simcoe Cryo hops for a smooth tropical flavor. C’mon by and get it while you can!

08/10/2022

Our baked egg and veggie special is back! Every time we get one of the Little Gem Farm] CSA boxes, we go a little crazy and make a delicious lil breakfast (or any time of day) special! This week we used zucchini, squash, heirloom tomatoes, shiso leaf, sweet potato leaf, basil, and milk peppers from Little Gem along with some garlic and red onion. It is topped with a scoop of our house made ricotta and and baked with an egg! This is one of our favorite healthy and tasty specials!

Check out Little Gem Farm] for more info on CSA boxes!

One of the many exciting things about or pulled pork sandwich is the return of our house-made coleslaw! It’s vegetarian (sorry vegans) and perfectly complements the sweet smoky flavors of the pork and Peggy’s BBQ sauce. It’s also available as a side for any of our sandwiches and other menu items! C’mon by and try it, you won’t be disappointed!

Sidewalk shenanigan success! Come hang out with us 🥺

07/30/2022

It’s almost game time for our Anniversary Event! To celebrate, we are running an extra special special: a pulled pork sandwich made with BBQ sauce from our very own ❤️

Get it while you can, and say hi to Peggy while you’re at it 😉

07/29/2022

If you know us, you know that we love pickling pretty much everything (seriously). This week we decided to pickle these cute lil red, golden, and chioggia beets from .gem.farm! They’re so so delicious and a perfect side to any of our sandwiches!

We can’t wait to see what cool plants .culture will bring to our Anniversary Event this Saturday! They will be outside Commonwealth 11-5, you won’t want to miss them!
