Broken Strings Taproom

The Write-Up

The full story

Broken Strings is a music-first taproom on West Church Street, its walls covered in murals of legends and a sister brewery sharing the roof. Reborn under new local ownership, it pours playful house beers like Penny Layne strawberry blonde, Purple Mane pale ale, and Liquid Vinyl, while guests single out the sours and the unique IPAs. It is a no-frills neighborhood room, pet friendly, where the pint comes with a stage.
