This place absolutely slaps. I went there for a "bang bang" after a gruesome experience at another restaurant. I was ready to drink away the sorrowful experience of bad dining (and it wouldn't have taken much to do that) and wow... did this place over deliver. I went with buddies and we managed to get tasters of all of the beers on tap. They varied so much and were all incredible. The blond Belgian tasted of bubblegum and the dark Belgian like roasted sour cherry. Phenomenal. The beyond hotdog was also incredible, and the gluten free bun (for which I wasn't excited) was actually marvelous. Gluten free technology has come a long way. I am eager to go back and take my parents!

A small establishment with limited sitting and it can be quite noisy. No flights but does the 5 ounces pours. Beers are varied but not particularly impressive. Has an upstairs that is nicely appointed with red couch.
