As boutique beer places go, this place is in the top 5 in the city.
The selection of beers is extensive and the tap selection always features a generous selection of micro-brews and seasonal specials. There is usually a cask ale of some kind going too. The cask however is prone to running out quickly because they want to make sure it's always super fresh.
The also have a couple of "festivals" every year where they have the patrons sample 4 to 6 different cask ales to either guess which brewery they are from or rate them for quality to determine what cask will get more exposure. The festivals sadly are short lived because the price to deliciousness ratio makes it an impossible place to avoid.
I've been a patron of Volo for about 6 years now and seen many servers come and go. They always however seem to know their stuff and are always fast and friendly. I started coming here for "pint night" when any pint was $4. Eventually they have raised that price to $5 and no longer include every tap... However, most of them are $5 on pint night so don't dismay!
The food selection is fresh and tasty with specials that have always been delicious. The food is mid-scale priced Italian with appys from $6 to 14 and entrees from $8 to $25. Specials are generally in the $14 to $24 range.
If I could really complain about anything it would be the food portion size and price. But than again, I'm a completely shameless glutton so I'm willing to bet that most except for the ravenous or truly gluttonous like myself will find themselves completely satisfied. Perhaps this is my starving-artist perspective... I was after all lured here by cheap micro-brews on Monday nights.
