| - I would love to make One Barrel into my local haunt, if I lived in the neighborhood. It has a worn-in-couch-style of comfort that I found pretty cool, like a lazy cafe. Still though, on a quiet, March, Saturday afternoon with only about 5 other customers present, the bartender made it pretty clear that she was unhappy about being there. Normally this wouldn't be too noticeable, but during off-hours when the bartender has more of a presence, indifference makes more if an impression.
Regardless, the Bilbo black ipa was mighty good, the best beer I tried from their impressively large draft list. They also had an olde ale and a barley wine that stood up really well. The design team behind the restaurant deserves some credit too: I like their cardboard coasters, the Nintendo themed chalk board art and the bike stuff all over the place. You've figured out what rings with products of the late 80s and early 90s.
