| - The Fairmount is decent enough, although probably the only reason I really go there is because it was in walking distance from my house and therefore a good place to go if I don't want to worry about designated drivers.
I like their wine selection, and they have an extensive and fun cocktail list. However, I'm a beer snob, and while they have some interesting choices, their beer list is fairly weak. There are other wine bars in the area with better beer selection, and even some less-classy regular bars that have a wider variety of rare beer finds. So beer fanatics beware!
Also, I don't think the food is particularly worth it. It's very expensive, and there's not a lot to it. Their cheese platter is one of the most boring I have ever seen. Like I said with the beer, there are other places in the area with better offerings for a similar (or lower) price.
While The Fairmount has a friendly, cozy atmosphere, it's largely mediocre. If you're in a position to spend the kind of money they charge, I recommend you look elsewhere.
