For some reason $31-$60 a person doesn't sound right but I guess the drinks here can add up fast. Some of the taps will run you around $6-$8 dollars a pint but they're microbrews and there's always a hefty price tag when you're buying anything artisan. I'm kicking myself for not trying the Brut Des Flandres while they still had it. ($52 a pop. Belgian trappist brewed then bottled in Champagne France. Mmmmmm)
Capacity is about 30-35 people and it fills up fast so if you don't get there early you might not get in. The servers have taken my number and called me when things have opened up before so if you're really really nice to them they might extend you the same courtesy. Seating can be a bit of an issue as well since there are only a few little pull out counter style tables for four, bar seating, a small two seater couch and a counter top near the door. The patio in the summer is nice but the scenery is kind of dull. You'll be staring at a shawarma shop or people in line for dance clubs. That can be a good source of entertainment for some but who knows, maybe you like making fun of people or just like to see what they're wearing.
The beer list has somewhere in the neighbourhood of 175 beers on offer which is smaller than some bars but I've found they have a better selection overall. It's relatively easy to stock a bunch of obscure beers from all over but that doesn't mean anyone wants to drink them and it's awful finding out you picked Peroni when you could have had Sam Smith's Winter Welcome Ale.
The food menu is short and sweet. You can choose from about 12 different styles of cooked mussels and there are oysters once or twice a week. The sandwiches are really nice and the soups are hearty. As a special treat, Joe's wife or Joe will cook a big batch of something that is always delicious. Be warned, they like their spices so if you think that Red Rooster hot sauce or Chipotle Tabasco are hot these dishes will melt your face. You should take a taste test first if the servers tell you it's spicy.
Aside from the drinks and food, I've always loved this place for the atmosphere and the servers. They love what they do and really want to make sure people have a good time. The fact that it's a little small is one of the great things about it. Conversations spill across the tables and before you know it you're swept into a debate from two groups over or playing word association games with the whole bar.
