Great spot with a chill vibe and solid drinks! Big shoutout to Harry behind the bar! It's always busy and packed but Harry really takes care of all people and keeps things running smooth. Definitely one of my go-to spots. Highly recommend!
Me and a couple friends were driving through and we walked into blacksmith to check it out. Had a couple beers each and had great service from our bartender Laren. We had a good time . Next time we pass through we'll definitely stop by.

I had a great experience and a great drink. I don’t drink alcohol like that so I asked about mocktail options.

I will definitely be back again …
