| - firstly, this place has a great vibe -- cool exposed ductwork & brick, reclaimed wood behind the bar, and a clean separation between the bar & main dining area.
secondly, the staff was super-helpful and nice. richie was totally spot-on behind the bar and made it a point to introduce himself to us, show us the menus (even though we weren't eating and just wanted to creep on it), and explain the drinks to us.
thirdly, the joint carries both local & other domestic quality beers on-tap (bell's, east end brewery). and, the moscow mule?! goddamn delicious. comes in one of five frigid copper cups (richie told us these are $30/piece -- so, if you're gonna drink one of these at the bar, they want either your CC or driver's license so they don't disappear), tastes like ginger, and is full of delicious booze with no taste of it!!!
can't wait to go back and try the food, including both styles of beets (is that weird?!)...and hopefully give the fifth star!
