Cinderlands gets my vote for best new spot for beer & food in the city. Quite the adulation I understand, but let me continue.
The staff is warm and welcoming, I've never had bad service in a city that often times allows for aloof and sometimes lazy service.
The beer, I could go on for hours about how good their beer is. They nail every style I have had and have cashed in on the New England IPA hype with some killer soft juicy IPAs. Although, my favorites have been their traditional often passed over styles. Right now as I type I am craving both their Zwickel Lager and their Grisette, what other breweries in the city can you have those styles AND a NEIPA?
Now, and probably most relevant to this space - the food. Cinderlands again just doesn't disappoint. They run 2 menus with very little overlap, the first is their dinner menu which doesn't overwhelm is tweaked for the seasons and is on point. The second is the brunch menu which has been crushed by yours truly. Bold statement incoming - Their burgers are top 3 if not best in the city.
I could keep going, but go try for yourself - oh quick tip if you don't like beer they mix up some great cocktails using local spirits as well.
Cheers!
