Good vibe they know their beer and can describe it very well.
I tried a couple of their beers and enjoyed them all but the Pumpkin Porter probably stood out. It was nice malty beer that really worked with the earthy-ness of the pumpkin. The ESB as described was unique as it was a hoppy beer but had a good malty background and a nice color. The peach ale was a good sweet fruity beer not too light as some can be. Their famous Kilt Lifter was a good representation of the standard red ale.
The food was good on two visits I tried the Beer bread italian beef sandwich with a side salad and their blue cheese burger. The flat bread sandwich was full of meat and cheese and the side salad was.HUGE (though with that they told me I was lucky as they are not normally that big). The burger was great, would order it again.
As I am a man that likes his service this place had it in spades. Knowledgeable staff were quick to help with suggestions (great beer info) and fast with refills (though they did seem quiet).
