10. BUZZ 1 2 3 4 5

TOTAL SCORE: 45

NOTES:

- $10 = beer, burger & side ($9 for just a burger + side)

- amazing beer selection & great food, menu includes a wide variety of links that make a great addition to any burger

- smallish place, but cozy and getting more interesting as the walls become covered with stickers, banners and art

- just the beer and glasses alone make for great décor

- perfectly cooked burger & bacon

- the bacon was extra crispy and not at all greasy

- sauce was subtly delicious with no additional condiments required

- doesn’t appear very intimidating when served open face, but once you stack it up it becomes a mountain of belly filling goodness

- decent slaw, prefer the potato salad I had before

- great juke box
