The rustic decor and warm, dim lighting create an inviting atmosphere where the community, from longtime locals to curious newcomers, can truly unwind. At its core, The Border Crossing is a sanctuary for exceptional value and diverse tastes. The bar presents a thoughtfully curated selection of craft beers for the discerning aficionado and signature cocktails for the more adventurous palate, all complemented by a menu of great food.
