Beers are the reason to be here. I had the pilsner, smooth and clean. Perhaps the food has improved since the reviews below; I had a perfectly good club sandwich, crisp fries and a nice 'slaw. The room is nice too, with that Distillery vibe and a very good sound system for a restaurant. I was on my way to the theatre, and service was timely.
As it happened, I was seated at the bar next to one of the cooks, who'd just come off shift. He said the vast majority of customers were tourists, as locals wouldn't come "this far east". This will change I'm sure as the neighbourhood develops--this place could become an institution.
