I like this location is much better than the Friendship one for many different reasons. Same beers, but totally different vibe!
The Beer Emporium is more of a bar kinda bar. Bar food, bar atmosphere. This Bistro location has a better variety and I think better tasting food. Plus the atmosphere is a lot more inviting. Couches in the front to relax at, nice sized bar and clean restaurant area. Hence the Bistro title!
I love their Dried Cherry Almond Chicken Salad Platter and Grilled Portobello Panini. Of course for the tasty and indulgy choice I go for the buffalo bites aka wings. The menu here has much more to offer than the Emporium does!
I always love a good deal for Happy Hour, so thank gawd they have half off Belgian Beers. If you love to indulge in the beers but think, like me, that they're too gosh darn expensive regularly, you can take advantage of the half off! It may mean that framboise you lust after could be yours for $5!
