Great Vibes and Wurst!
My experience at this restaurant was great for both take out and enjoying a happy hour pint with some snacks. I highly recommend trying a wurst and a pretzel – honestly, try everything! The vibes were excellent; it was busy but not overwhelmingly so.
The service was friendly, quick, and casual.
