They serve reanimator coffee, our favorite! Their brunch is good and simple. Great place for lunch (brunch) or early dinner. They have a soup and sandwich menu that is pretty great! Crab cake sandwich is a must try, and the griddle brownie!

Drinks & Nightlife
There are shows upstairs most nights that are worth looking into - if not sold out in advance. But the downstairs is equally as fun! They have dj’s most weekends playing an array of music, good beers on tap, and a pretty extensive and tasty bar menu! There is also a pool table, definitely a spot worth checking out!

The place used to be a Spaghetti Warehouse…
It has a great roster of artists that come through and play here. Check the schedule in advance and maybe you can catch a band when you are here, tickets are reasonably priced.

Good bar close to Union Transfer if you are going to catch a show, this is a great place to grab a bite to eat and drink before the show, or if you don’t like the band that’s opening. They also have a real good bar menu!!
