This is one seriously good catch. 🐟 Meet the Creole Catfish Sandwich: Creole seasoned fried catfish piled onto toasted rye with Dijon aioli, bayou coleslaw, arugula, tomato and pickle. Crispy. Creamy. A little kick. And absolutely stacked. Served with your choice of side and available this week at lunch. If you’ve been waiting for a reason to switch up your usual lunch order…this is it. 👀 Who are you sending this to for a lunch date? 👇

THIS IS IT! One last performance. Let’s help Second Gear go out with a bang!

The journey is about to reach its final stop. With mixed emotions we announce our FINAL FAREWELL APPEARANCE, coming up on Saturday, October 3 at Ale House 1890 from 8-11.

Come and help us celebrate the amazing run that is Second Gear. The cool set list, the very present vocal harmonies and the chemistry all contribute to this fun experience of classic rock tunes. If you haven't been to a show yet this year, you'll hear some of our newer songs that we're sure won't disappoint. Let's do this one more time!!

Shout out to the fantastic musicians that have been part of this project over the years. Snyder, Ken Grimmett, Joshua Grimmett, Marci Truex, Steve Kolecki. Former members Irving, Tyler, Andrea DeBord Snyder, and Williams. Also, Jeremie Lieb and Winters for helping us out in a jam.

Special thanks to Ale House 1890 for hosting us for this final show. Also thanks to the View Golf Course as a sponsor.

It’s 5 o’clock, and Negroni Week is officially on at Ale House. 🥃🍊This week, we’re featuring two takes on the classic:

AH Negroni: timeless, balanced, and done the Ale House way.
BA Boulevardier: barrel aged for a deeper, bolder pour.

Two iconic cocktails. Two distinct personalities. One very good reason to grab a seat at the bar. Join us this week and raise a glass to Negroni Week!

We love bringing people together over great food!

This is your sign to stop settling for a boring lunch. 👀 Our Best Ever Chicken Parmesan Sandwich starts with crispy fried chicken piled onto fresh focaccia with fire vodka cream sauce, house pesto, melted mozzarella and white balsamic dressed arugula. It’s crispy, saucy, cheesy and very appropriately named. 🤌 And if lunch happens to include an espresso martini? We’re certainly not judging. 🍸
