| - What a cool concept and perfect complement to the 16th street/bethany area. A tiny bar with interesting decor, lots of really great beer and wine, reasonable prices, and a friendly and enthusiastic bartender/owner.
The place was packed when we arrived on a Saturday night but managed to find a table by the door. Eventually some other people left so we were able to snag a couple more seats for our friends. The WP manages to balance the small quarters so that even when it's full it felt cozy, not cramped or uncomfortable. It felt like you were in somebody's really cool private home bar and Greg (the owner) and other patrons made it a very welcoming atmosphere. We had a couple drinks and were able to talk amongst ourselves when we wanted and chat with the other patrons at other points. All that to say that the WP has a natural, comfortable feel.
The chalkboard displays a huge variety of beer and wine. Don't be intimidated. Just pick a random one if you're adventurous. Or ask Greg, he's happy to make suggestions. Also, the snacks and desserts are really good. Our friends had a brownie and I had a bite, very tasty. And then we got a couple ham and cheese sandwiches with this really great ham from Schreiner's. You probably wouldn't want to go here for dinner because it's really just finger foods (and there are lots of good restaurants nearby), but it's all so good it wouldn't be the worst thing if you pigged out (see what I did there?!) on some ham&cheese sandwiches, cheese plates and baked goods.
In sum, it's a great little place to come have a drink with friends. And you can easily stay here and enjoy all night, but at the same time you have lots of great restaurant and bar options within easy walking distance. Look forward to coming back!
