I came to update my Papago review to include the fact that it gets way too loud in here for enjoyable conversation, but it seems I have beat myself to it.
But it's worth mentioning again. Unless you're in a group of two, no more than three people (and you know the people well enough to lean in and/or sit very close to be able to pick up what they're saying), I wouldn't recommend coming here.
Also, I'm knocking off a star for service and food quality/selection (actually I'm knocking off two, since when I gave my original review of five stars I was an overzealous early yelper without a definitive rating system...it's really a three-star establishment).
Servers and bartenders always come off a little bored/annoyed which is a bummer when you're curious about a beer you've never tried and want to ask a lot of questions. It ends up making me feel alienated and like I don't deserve to be there since I'm not a craft beer expert. Also, for the quality/creativity the food is about $2 above the price point it should be, and for my preferences the variety/options is really lacking.
But I will still come here because in the end it's a low-key relaxed venue with a fantastic beer selection. I just wish they'd drop the pretense and I'd certainly enjoy myself a little more and come more often.
