I came here a couple of weeks ago on a weeknight with a few people. It wasn't too packed as we grabbed a table and most people were sitting at the bar. It's a cool spot. I'm not sure if it's a chain or not but I think it might be. If I'm wrong, my bad. They had an awesome draft list - at least 30-35 beers on tap and a number of IPAs to choose from.
We didn't do meals - just some drinks and apps. I would highly recommend their pretzel; it is enormous and about 4 people can easily share it. I also really liked their buffalo chicken flatbread. It's the perfect place to do some drinks and some apps although I'd be glad to give their meals a shot next time.
