The Rustic originally opened as a large restaurant, bar and dance hall. It was known to have the likes of Frank Sinatra stop by for an evening out. After a devastating fire, it was rebuilt in 1969 to its present, cozy size. Eccentric locals and summer tourists alike now enjoy local craft beer and creative cocktails in an open wood-beam atmosphere under the original iconic sign.
