Great food, local beers, fun pub atmosphere

Tuesday night is Trivia and that is what brought us in to 19 handles. A taproom with a full kitchen, including a full page vegetarian menu.The motif, is what you might expect, beer signs from all over smattered on the walls mix with paraphernalia of the professional boxing career of the owner (who is very charismatic and a lot of fun to talk to) and his obvious love of different sports is apparent, with baseball on the TVs scattered throughout during our time there.What sets this place apart, is a menu of burgers, sandwiches and entrees that pair well with the beers they keep on tap. Their selection is primarily local and semi local breweries. Pricing is fair, and the wait staff handles a full take over well. Trivia night this time was packed so like their sign says, “come early and stay late”.They didn’t have any sours when we went, which may just be the rotation of taps at that time. But even so, outside of that, you can probably find a decent beer to have with a good meal on their menu.They have outdoor seating for when weather isn’t actively trying to kill you, and parking is ample.

Our first visit here, found it online as we are new to the area. On entering staff all said Happy Father’s Day ( tomorrow). Owner immediately acknowledged my 7 yr old daughter, calling her a princess ❤️ he spoke of his grandchildren. The waitress( his daughter, didn’t know til leaving) offered advice on beers for flights as we had no idea, so many choices! The owner brought out pre dinner ice cream for my daughter, checked with us first. Said he’s a grandfather and that’s what grandparents do, he did make sure my daughter agreed to listen to her parents first! He recommended several places to check out as we moved from the East Coast last fall. Was a great experience and the food was great as well! Will definitely go back!

Awesome local beer selection, And the food is super good as well. If your a vegetarian like my sweet girlfriend then this is the place for you because they have a great vegetarian selection. Irecommend the deep fried cauliflower

Wait staff was friendly, but very disorganized. Several items from the menu were not available. Food took a while to be prepared although it wasn't very busy. Food was decent.

I like the pub atmosphere. Wish i was a beer drinker.The fries , onion rings were delicious.My boys enjoyed the chicken strips & fries. Also, the grilled cheese sandwich.Not so much the fish sandwich.

We had been wanting to try this place for a whole after moving to the area and finally went last Friday night on a whim! Let me tell you it did not disappoint!!! The food was great and the service was prompt and friendly. The owner was there, he is a fairly new owner of the place. He was so nice and welcoming, we felt like we had know him for ever and that we were visiting a friends house for dinner! He described things on the menu when we're not sure what to decide. I ended up going with the French dip. The flavor was on point and the bread was so fresh and soft. We split the nachos as an appetizer and they were fresh and not smothered in cheese like most places. It was fresh ingredients and perfect portions. My bf had the pastrami sandwich and enjoyed it as well. We took a to-go grilled cheese for my mom and it smelt delightful, they even toasted parmesan cheese on the outside of the bread. Yum! Beers are mostly local brewers which is awesome to support local. I had the huckleberry cider which was nice and refreshing. We will definitely be back! So nice to have a friendly local spot with good hospitality these days! Looking forward to summer nights on the patio out front.

Great pub food! Must try the food! Did I mention the food? Lots of beer options and friendly service.

Great pub with excellent home cooked foods. A great place to hangout. Nice neighborhood spot.

Good 'pub' food and destination. Clean premises and really nicely prepared food.
