About Us
After local bar Creamy's closed in 2000, Farren's owner, Carolyn, bought the location and turned it into a simple pub and restaurant. Located underground and tucked behind Nitaya Thai, the restaurant may be hard to find at first - just follow the "Burgers & Beer" arrow for signature burgers and an extensive selection of micro-brewed beers. Also popular are the tacos, which can be made with black beans for vegetarians.
Whether you're a student, blue-collar, white-collar, or a dry waller, Carolyn invites you to come to relax with your friends, enjoy a burger and have a beer!
