Nice cozy spot to be at on a Friday night with friends. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I ordered regular fries for the table and it was quite evident that it was fried in rancid oil. Well the wide range of draft beer selection balanced it out.

I’m also a big fan of the salted soft pretzel, served with beer cheese and pub mustard. It’s filling and pairs great with a cold drink. In terms of drinks, I always grab a Miller High Life …

The Gadfly bar is a fantastic little enclave that offers amazing cocktails and service. Hugo the bartender was phenomenal and attentive ensuring I was not without a drink.
