A shot of the original bar, which according to the bartender that served me was left intact after the fire a few years ago. Most of the restaurant was spared and only smoke and water damage occurred:
This is the Octoberfest platter. I enjoyed the well portioned meal and found the service to be efficient, the bartender freindly and restaurant a nice place to hang out. They also had a very good selection of draft and bottled beers. For potato pancake lovers these are only served Monday through Thursday. I will have to come back and try those at some point.
