Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! 🦃🍻

Feeling extra grateful today for everyone who makes The Nag’s what it is: the friends made, the memories built, the pints shared. You make this place special.

Throwback to our huge Thanksgiving feast 10 yrs ago… bonus points if you can guess the chef. 👀🔥
