The Battlefield Brewery is a dive bar that just happens to brew some beer.  In fact, a dive bar is what they were originally.  Then they decided to brew some beer.  They expanded from a couple to three, four, and then five before reeling back to two standard brews.  Occasionally they will brew a third.  So don’t plan on finding a huge variety of brewed beers here.  On the night I visited they happened to have three brewed beers:  a lager, red and pale ale.  Their red was quite good and was uniquely different than a typical red.  It was also much stronger than a typical red beer.  My favorite was the lager.  Nothing too special about the pale ale.

This is without a doubt a locals’ bar.  Everyone knew one another there.  The bartender carried on with the customers as if she was a patron herself.  Next door is a restaurant, which is part of the bar with the same food and drink menu, but it is not connected to the bar.  This may be due to the fact that the bar side allows smoking.  Some people are so put off by smokers that they are disgusted even before the cigarette is lit so if this describes you then you might as well steer clear.  I am not a smoker, but I had no problem enjoying my beers among the smokers.
 
The food menu provides great sandwich options that you order hot or cold.  I enjoyed a tasty chicken cordon bleu sandwich.  They also serve many typical bar appetizers, different types of fries and quite a few salads.
