Went on a Friday night kinda early and it was pretty empty...so maybe we just happened on it when it wasn't happenin' yet. However Jack the bartender was awesome. He is a tougher looking guy with a beard and a bandana..but turned out being the biggest sweetheart. Showed us the Whiskey Room..very cool place with the feel of like an old mansion's hidden bar room...he suggested some scotch for one of the guys with us...the rest of us had trouble deciding between the 20 or so distinctive and unusual beers on tap and the overall selection of some 1000 beers, and he gave us some small samples to help our decision.
We really enjoyed our drinks, and when it came time for us to move on he even called us a cab. I'd go back just to chit chat with him again. Next time, though I hope the Freakin' Frog's energy is a little kicked up. The live music wasn't going yet either. But it was a cool experience...and helped make our trip a little different.
