I had the oppurtunity to pop in to this new kid on the block last weekend and I can confirm it WILL be popular. I think it may have been around 7-8pm on a Saturday so the place was packed, inside and out.
From what I could see the seating was ample and the outdoor portion was well thought out. The parking might become an issue but I think eventually foot traffic will be the main form of transportation to this place.
The beers. The beers looked diverse with your typical stout, porter, IPA lineup and I had a chance to try the IPA. It was actually pretty great.
Ultimately I'd like to come back on a weekday to really enjoy the place without the crowds.
