We can’t go more than a week without hitting up Crooked Ewe for some amazing food and local brews. The kitchen works magic with sous vide. It has something for everyone with an amazing meat, veggie, and even vegan menu. And it’s all delicious. It does tend to get busy, but it is worth it.

Great for larger parties, The Lauber has a fantastic beer garden with lots of space. It is a great option for people with kids because of all the space for them to run around, and they have yard games, ping pong, and fusball.
