Since the menu typically begins with the appetizers, that's where we'll start. Order the massive soft pretzel with beer cheese and mustard. It's a must and should be in the running as the best appetizer in Kentucky.

Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., stop by for brunch. Guests give this menu great reviews, and the chicken and waffles seem to be the star of the show. Follow along with the brewpub on Facebook, linked below, for updates on brunch times, happy hour deals, and any specials or menu changes.
