The husband and I tried a relatively new restaurant/pub last week.
.
.
And from the quality of their cocktails, I see a return trip in our future.

The snow covered cranberry was delightful.

As was the gin sipper, but it was this sign that got my husband’s attention.

Now that’s a great idea, and clearly quite popular.
When our spinach flatbread appetizer came out to the table without the aforementioned spinach? The owner immediately came over and said a replacement was being made which he would box up for us take home, free. As was the fabulous error flatbread we were already halfway through. And when he saw my husband’s USMC hat? The beer was free as well. I could get used to this place.

.
A fried haddock sandwich with dill aioli and a harvest salad with blackened chicken later, we were replete. After tipping large and dropping $10 on the bar to pay for a couple of veteran’s beers later… we walked out past this.
.
.
Clearly there’s a history of service at this restaurant/pub.
.
.
And while I’m not a religious person, I do appreciate the honor paid to our veterans.

River's world..... 
That’s the most freebees I’ve seen a restaurant give without an hysterical scene and threats of legal action.

Sorry. Do not mean to be picky. But there are Vets from a lot of other countties who died for everyone’s freedom. To assign that spot to only American Vets is an insult to the world!

While I understand your reasoning, this was an American restaurant, in an American town, whose owner was in the American military.So not really surprising….

It’s a small menu but what they do, they do well.

The beer for veterans doesn’t cost them a thing and pays off enormously in good will.

I’m so happy to see you’ve found someplace that wasn’t a disappointment with the cocktails or the food. The ambient seems to be wonderful as well. I LOVE that sign, poignant and true.

I wish they had a bigger menu that would warrant a return trip for dinner, but lunch works.

I notice all barstools. So it is really a bar disguised as a restaurant.

The cocktails and food look great, but I’m also a huge fan of anyone who does a solid for our vets. That’s awesome.
