Deep Cuts changes everything you thought you knew about clubs, food, music and alcohol! I’ve been to Deep Cuts a couple of times over the Summer and I was heading over to the library book sale yesterday and figured I couldn’t buy books on an empty stomach so I went to Deep Cuts first for a sandwich and their outstanding ginger lemonade! As I do not drink, I can’t be much help in regards to the craft beer but they do offer a wide selection of not only beers but the hard stuff as well. No this place is much more than just a bar/club/restaurant. I cannot underscore the number of food offerings this place has. Their menu is here – https://www.deepcuts.rocks/menu

Lets kick things off with the place itself. The owner describes this as a place that “is the go-to spot for live music, great sandwiches, and craft beer. Add in pinball and vinyl records, and you’ve got a place where people come together for good times and memorable experiences. It’s more than just a venue—it’s a community hub for those who appreciate quality music and great food.”

This is not your father’s bar. Its family friendly, which I can attest to because of the folks who brought their whole family in for an afternoon meal. Its a totally safe space where people are respectful of each other and there is a lot of things to do to keep the kids engaged while the parents get to talk. Fwiw, the kids were well behaved and that’s rare these days. There is everything from board games to pinball machines across the hall from the main dining area. Everything from the wall hangings to the posters, this whole place is inviting and has something for everyone.

Ok now for the reason we’re here, the food! Deep Cuts will post their sandwiches of the day. However, looking at the menu – https://www.deepcuts.rocks/menu, I had already decided what I was going to get when I sat at the bar. That sandwich was – The Catania – Ham, capicola, salami, provolone, lettuce, tomato, onions, banana peppers and hot mayo, the flavor and not the temperature. Of course all on a ciabatta roll. It was as good as it sounds. Paired with fries, this was the perfect meal on a snowy day! The ciabatta roll was super fresh, the meats were perfectly paired and the sandwich had the perfect amount of crunch to it. The best part is that it was not overstuffed so that when you bit into it, the ingredients would not spill out, the roll contained everything without making a mess. The banana peppers are a somewhat new item to me, I do not like really spicy food but those fears are unfounded, it was enough to add a counter balance to the sweeter elements of the sandwich. This sandwich had exceeded my expectations and I look forward to trying other sandwiches in the coming year.

While you’re out and about doing your Christmas shopping or just out in general and you need to take a knee, consider doing so at Deep Cuts. It is within walking distance of two parking lots, there is the one behind Colleen’s and of course the one along Clippership drive. Either one is within a 5 min walk. Let us know what your favorite sandwich was!
