| - I love everything about this place. Everything.
Although it's a little bit of a hipster haven, it still feels completely comfortable. The main bar is great... and it displays their extensive bottled beer options (118 as of the last time I was there). And - they also have a beer club. Drink 100 different beers, in as long of a time period as you want... you are rewarded with fame (name on a plaque), a personal beer glass (engraved I believe) and a sweatshirt. Yes... I'm working on this drinking task at the moment.
The bartenders are great. Very personable, don't put up with bullshit, and can definitely give advice as to a great beer. I think the price is on target for the neighborhood, it's not a super cheap place, but I also don't think it it crazy expensive.
Dogs are allowed in the bar and on the patio. I think it adds to the charm... but don't worry - they won't be there on a Friday/Saturday night. There are some dart boards, and a pool table. The hallway is lined with local rotating artwork. The Patio is beautiful... and the perfect place to hang out with friends.
The pub is connected to the pizza kitchen... and the pizza is delcious. While you can buy it by the slice, consider buying a whole pizza... and sharing it with those around you! I usually stick to the cheese (clearly delicous), as I found the buffalo chicken to be way too spicy for this chick. However... I happened upon the blue cheese pizza the other day... OH MY GOD... incredible. The only thing I would consider adding is bacon (and I don't even like bacon... but it just feels right for this pizza).
I love the cozy atmosphere, the dark wooden interior, the local artists, the craft beer and the pizza. I love the locals... and the occasional out of towners (who then quickly leave). This place is great. Anytime. Triva = Thursday night. Friday/Saturday always has a big crowd... but my favorite experience was probably on a Sunday night. A great place indeed!
