This place is absolutely fantastic every time I visit! They have an extensive selection of beers from local breweries. However, the food and atmosphere truly stand out as the best in Southend. The menu, although small, is outstanding, featuring delicious sandwiches, charcuterie and cheese boards, salads, and flatbreads. There's also the adjacent Lincoln Street Kitchen, owned by the same team, where you can enjoy cocktails and more refined dishes. I love everything about it—it guarantees a great experience every time! The average cost per person is around $20–30.

We were initially informed that we could bring our dog inside due to expected rain. When the bartender came to our table, we mentioned that we had service dogs that were quiet and lying down without any disruption. However, when I later went to get another drink, the same bartender approached us and was quite rude, insisting we go outside since it wasn’t raining. We explained that we were just finishing our drinks, but she persistently told us to leave and was generally disrespectful. Despite our attempts to communicate with her, she continued to talk about us to others while we waited for our drinks at the bar, which I found very unprofessional. Her rude demeanor and constant glances followed by comments were not appreciated. Because of this experience, we will not be returning.

My husband and I visited this restaurant during a mystery picnic, making it our first stop. We decided to order the charcuterie board along with one of their cocktails, and both were absolutely wonderful. The charcuterie board really reminded me of how much I enjoy them and how I should treat myself to them more frequently. I'm eagerly anticipating our next visit to sample more of their menu items.
