Try the bellhaven ale. It's the beer that got me to reconsider my stance on ales.

Drink the always-rotating cask-conditioned ales to start, then go to any of the other 15-or-so rarely distributed beers on tap. And please, don't have the damn Hoegaarden.

Get one of the 12+ beers on tap and enjoy it on the back porch. Don't stay too long! They're pricy for the neighborhood.

The bar tenders are way more into chatting with their friends than serving drinks. Tip accordingly.
Kien NguyenMay 17, 2015
Good beer selection
Nick BiltonOctober 1, 2010
Ask if you cab pet the cat in the box. It's cute & licks itself on the bar.

@michael d d.b.a does not stand for doing business as. they will never tell, if you ask the same bartender that told you that story a second time you will get a different story. i've seen it happen.
Valerie PetrovAugust 9, 2014
Bathroom is terrifying! At least invest in stall doors that close.

I love this place, but why does it always smell like a locker room?
Jacob Anderson CooperJune 29, 2013
The bartenders seemed uninterested in taking our orders. We just grabbed some water and left.
Benjamin VilledaJune 16, 2011
Great selection of beer + Jazz music.
Aaron EvansApril 7, 2013
I was very disappointed with the service. The bartender was impatient and made me feel stupid for asking questions about the beers. I don't think I will come back.
michael donohoeJuly 9, 2009
Corona and Amstels cost about $7. This is becuase people are dumb enough to order them when they could spend less on more with a quality beer on-tap
Jacob FordApril 3, 2023
