I've popped into this place twice now while I was over at the nearby Mill Works for an athletic event with my kid. I usually bring my dog with when we go to these events at Mill Works and leave him in the car (weather permitting) & walk him periodically.

I appreciate all the nods to the history or Forge Village and I’m glad this local color spot is up...

Arrived during posted hours of operation and consistently found it closed upon arrival. I enjoy supporting local small businesses, but not when they don't respect customers' time and effort. I do not recommend wasting your time trying to catch this business open whenever it decides, at its...
