| - Absolutely love this place! It has the packed, friendly feel of a neighborhood bar, but no neighborhood bar will have such an amazing selection of beers!
We arrived around 6:45 on a Friday and were able to get seated right away. It's bar-like in that there isn't a hostess to seat you but any of the wait staff will be happy to help you find a spot. It definitely got packed by 8pm though, so don't get here too late if you want a seat! I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful and they kept an eye out for the Eddie 'n' Eddies waitress and made sure she came to us.
Some people have complained about the face that WOB doesn't serve its own food, but why would that be a problem when you can bring in food/have it delivered from anywhere (like the Chipotle a block away) plus they have a partnership with Donato's, Jimmy John's, Dave's Cosmic Subs, and Eddie 'n' Eddie's? You don't ever have to worry about having bad food! Two people at our table ordered Donato's and the rest of us got burgers, pie, and the pretzel and cheese appetizer.
Now for the beer: SUCH A GREAT SELECTION. The descriptions are great and even if you're a beer connoisseur, you may have some fun reading up on the different options. I was with a few beer snobs and one guy was so excited to find quality English beer. I also don't think they were that pricey; it's maybe a dollar or two more than the Wink (max) and a much better selection.
My only regret is that I live too far from WOB to go there spontaneously, so I won't be going there as often as I'd like to.
