| - Now that I've visited IAH a number of times since my last review I can safely say that it is, hands down, my go to bar in the Junction. Since opening, IAH has expanded their craft brew selection to include an ever changing line-up of porters, stouts, and wheats along with their IPA's. As I'm not a fan of IPA's in general I stick with the other options and have yet to be disappointed. I am particularly fond of their Breakfast Porter, Wit'ner Toque, Quiet Time, Icebreaker and Red Tape Stout, i.e., any dark, strong beer. One of the nice things is that all of their beers regardless of the alcohol content are roughly the same price (~$5.50).
The servers are all pleasant and many have been there since the start, which adds to the venue's community feel. They do not take reservations on Friday or Saturday nights after 5pm so I would suggest getting there before 6pm if you don't want to wait for a table.
The menu (which also changes frequently) is much better than your average pub. Their modern take on standard dishes (e.g., Scotch Bonnet flavoured Chicken Wings, Shrimp Taco, Aubergine Burger, ect.) all at a reasonable price (~$15.50) have never left me wanting. I especially like the Mac & Cheese w/ pulled pork, Pizza w/ sausage and goat cheese and Pork Rib Burger.
The lighting still bugs me, but the service, great food and most importantly phenomenal selection of unique craft beers at a reasonable price far outweigh this.
I would recommend IAH to anyone who likes, or wants to sample a wide range of craft beers.
