Pleasantly surprised at excellent service and excellent experience in hanging out for a Sunday morning of NFL games. The staff are very happy to help you to be directly in front of the game that you want to see. We would happily return to hangout at a great spot. Cheers to the ISB team! Great beer selection too.
