Amongst top craft beer contenders such as The Hanging Bat and 6 Degrees North, Cloister's has a similar tap range but not the same level of stuffiness or pretentiousness as the latter two. Indeed, it doesn't seem to exemplify any of the more negative qualities of top tier craft beer bars frequently emulate. Their staff are friendly, happy to chat and offer tastings, and go out of your way to make your visit a memorable occasion. Its proximity to the Meadow makes it a nice retreat during the summertime.
