I was recently introduced to Smokeless Joe's by another Yelper and I've already been back a couple times.
The bar is pricey but the vibe is pretty good when you consider the area and the kind of obnoxious people one sometimes runs into around these parts.
The service is good, the staff are friendly, when I asked about one of the beers on tap I got a very detailed description that described it perfectly.
The selection of beer on tap is great! Tasty beers that must have been hand-picked by someone with good taste! I think there are around 10 taps which is pretty good in itself but they also seem to mostly have interesting beers on tap (while I was there, they weren't wasting any taps on something like Moosehead or Heineken). The bottled selection is vast and can match any bar (even the Bier Markt in that department).
It's small and cozy and warm and welcoming! When I mentioned to my boss that I was checking this place out for the first time, he told me it was his standard "first date" bar. And if you like a casual, warm atmosphere, non-pretentious atmosphere - I can see why!
It seems like they only have counter seating & high chair/table seating which is a small pet peeve of mine (it means I certainly won't spend the entire evening there as at some point I'll be off searching for a more comfortable place to sit as I get more and more tipsy).
If it wasn't for the price and the seating, it would definitely be a 4 star.
