Acadia Cafe is celebrating their grand re-opening with a keg of Darkness 2006. It’ll tapped at 8:00 pm. According to Surly’s website, “there will be special appearances by other brewers during the day.” Come down for autographs… bring your own markers.
There will also be appearances by other beer dorks throughout the evening. Bring your earplugs. 🙂
Kris and I have been at the new location a couple of times with friends since they re-opened. The food menu started off modest but continues to grow. It’s lost the coffee shop feel and has taken on more of a bar feel.
The place is deceptively small. From the outside it looks big but it is much smaller on the inside. However, since it has lost that coffee shop feel where some asshat can camp a booth for three hours while sipping on a small decaf, it is much easier to find a table than the previous location.
Service has been pretty good. I consider it better than at the previous location.
I have only tried two appetizers at the new location so I can not comment on the food. However, if it is like the previous location, the food will be quite good.
