| - Ok so caveat this review with a note that I will be going back to give it another shot (outside or bar only, though). The beers themselves were at times great. C'est dommage que l'expérience ne soit pas aussi bonne.
Group of 3 on a weekday evening. Busy night but not completely full. We were escorted past a few open tables in the main area and sat at the very back corner, jammed into a 5 foot space overlooking the bathrooms. The chairs couldn't be slid out, so we had to climb into our seating. Someone dropped off a menu and then we didn't get any service for about 10 minutes. Also, despite being a beer bar, they don't actually list their beers on the menu. So after realizing this, I had to climb back out of my chair, walk to the front of the restaurant where they have the beers on the wall, write down the numbers on my phone that I wanted for our flights, walk back, and climb back into my chair.
Eventually we ordered a few flights and some sandwiches. I think it was about 20 minutes in total between being seated and getting beers. Not obscene, but disappointing. Once we were finally sort of settled into our tiny crevasse with food and drink, the worst part was that every patron entering or exiting the bathrooms exposed us to a fresh whiff of bathroom smell. Not good. Very not good. If they're going to keep jamming people up by the DJ booth in the back, they should just put up a full wall in front of the bathrooms because it's disgusting.
So, ah, yeah. The beers were pretty good. The bar seating seemed reasonably pleasant. I'll give that a shot next time and update this if it's a better experience (but seriously - don't let them jam you in the back by the bathrooms).
