Grandpa's at the Depot

Grandpa's at the Depot offers tavern atmosphere with an Irish flavor. It's located in a century-old two-story brick building. A photo of the first owner, one-eared "Grandpa" Rugen, hangs on the wall in the bar area where patrons can sip pint drafts of Guinness, Bass Ale, Woodpecker Cider and other libations along with such American standbys as Miller and Old Style. On the pub menu: corned beef with cabbage, Irish beef stew, beer-battered cod, chili, burgers, sandwiches, salads. There's also a Friday Fish Fry with all-you-can-eat perch or cod.
