Good Food, Good Beer, Good Music

Casual American food done right — and the fried-app game everyone talks about.

Jumbo Wings

Eight of 'em, secret-recipe breading, fried crispy, your choice of sauce.

Bourbon Fried Pickles

Battered in our signature bourbon beer batter. A Bob's staple.

Hula Hoops

Beer-battered pineapple rings, powdered sugar, sweet coconut sauce. Yes, really.
