Bennett StarnesApril 25, 2014This place is great! Just far enough from the Metro that it's not packed, but an easy walk from Red, Orange & Blue lines. And a great beer selection!
Joel BatchelorMay 15, 2014Amazing lunch (tap room burger w/ sweet potato fries), great service, very impressed! Been in for happy hour & had a great experience also.
Bobby (DJ Oso Fresh) AlirezaiJuly 4, 2013The Country Fried chicken sandwich with sweet potatoe fries!!! Winning combo... So many beers on tap. It will tale you a few minutes to decide!
This place is the best. Seriously. If you haven't gone here you need to stat. Great food, beer and an awesome staff.
KFebruary 17, 2016Came in one a Fri night late & bartender was less than happy. She had no smile and even said how she wanted to go home. If you're behind the bar, you need to have a smile & good service. Won't go back
Daniel NguyenMay 24, 2019Nice, chill atmosphere; think a sports bar crossed with a pub. Decent food and drinks. Service is friendly and quick.- Crispin VaryApril 16, 2014Food is awesome, TV's are great, fantastic beer selection. Place is almost always packed, so plan ahead!
Cayse CarltonDecember 10, 2012Get there early for happy hour. Place fills up fast. Awesome staff. Hell of a beer list. Tip your bartenders!
jacque martinJanuary 10, 2014Adam is fantastic! Best bartender in the city! Also caps games always playing which is obviously a plus.
The bald guy behind the bar really knows his shit. Ask him about the beer lest, menu, anything. Personally, I recommend New Belgium Shift.
Vernon Blugh-Bernard @VBlughBernardJuly 6, 2013The Austin Burro on the menu is amazing. This is a really nice establishment, indoor and outdoor.- Crispin VaryApril 24, 2014Bartender arguably hates white people. Wait staff treats you like you as if you're a leper with a gremlin on your shoulder. Food is terrific, but aside from that, spare yourself pointless scorn.
Mary HFebruary 17, 2013Nice sex on the beaches if you get the right bartender; does not use icky grape fruit juice and uses a sweeter fruit instead...like nectarine or something.
Really good beer selection, plenty of tvs. Gets crowded during happy hour.
Campbell BirdJuly 23, 2015Their bar staff was a little flustered when I went, granted there was a lot going on that Saturday afternoon.
Colleen PorterMay 4, 2014The briscuit grilled cheese is amazing. The best sandwich I have ever had!!
Kara KOctober 12, 2013If you're at the bar, ask for Sam. He's a hottie that makes the best Bloody Mary in town.
- Yucca fries are awesome. Hh ends at 7. Pbr is the cheapest beer.
They may be new to the block but not new to the game...Team faded approved
Ari WeaverNovember 16, 2012Friday happy hour is way too crowded with strict rules about sitting at a table. Great beer list though
You need to be a regular because the bartenders easily make friends.
By 8:00 the after work crowd has thinned, but still tough to get a seat at the bar.
Sweet potato fries rock - chipotle and cinnamon seasoning!- 40 beers on tap and plenty more in the fridge. Doesn't look like anything too exotic, which is fine by me - I want my beer to taste like beer, not a fruit basket.
