This is a great place to catch up with friends (on the quieter dining side) or to meet new people. This place is packed on the weekends and even more so on days when its not raining or snowing. The greatest thing here is the fabulous patio seating out back. Generous lounge seating with nicely landscaped walls. Inside, you'll find that this place has a nice chic and industrial look. Wood paneling on walls and ceilings with cement counter tops and up-cycled furniture. The dining side has a garage door that opens up to let in fresh air and give a clearer view onto W 25th. Definitely a nice place to take out of towners who enjoy beer and like a bit more company.
There's usually a very good collection of beers from throughout the country. The menu changes daily and features 30+ beers on tap. All are $5 (some are 8 oz pours for the stronger brews). There are a few brews that stay on the daily list like the Willoughby PB coffee stout. I honestly can't say which is my favorite here as I like to try something new each time. I'm a fan of IPAs and there's usually quite a few on the list that's new to me.
I haven't been here for a meal but I heard their food is quite good. I'm guessing its similar in quality to Market Garden. I do love their truffle fries though! Thin crispy cuts, lightly salted with a dash of truffle oil. My GF craves for this every time we're in OC.
