Unfiltered, unpasteurized beer brewed only from traditional ingredients, matured by secondary fermentation in the container from which it is dispensed, and served without the use of extraneous carbon dioxide. Cask Ale is also known as 'Cask-Conditioned Beer', and 'Real Ale'.

5-Year Anniversary Celebration at Overlook: Friday, February 6

Congratulations to Mark, Pat & Jeff and all of our friends at Overlook on their 5 year anniversary.

Friday, February 6
5th Year Anniversary Party
Full Open Bar 9 - 10pm
Drink Specials All Night

Overlook is famous for its cartoon wall, featuring Bill Gallo, and members of the National Society of Cartoonists, including Blondie, Beetle Baily, Bill Keane (Family Circus), The Lockhornes, Stan Lee (spiderman), Al Jaffee (mad magazine) and many more.

When they took over from Turtle Bay Cafe in 2004, there was unfounded rumors that the historic wall would be destroyed. To the contrary, Overlook has not only preserved the original, but added an updated version to mirror it.

Overlook has also made other improvements to the bar, which had been previously called Turtle Bay Cafe (1992 - 2004) and Costello's (1972-1992). They built an upstairs bar & party room, with a beautiful outdoor roof deck in the back.
Here's to five years of fun times at Overlook!
