Love this place....except for all the weird rules about happy hour, beer specials, and getting food to go.
I have been coming here now and then for about a year. They have a decent selection of local craft beer on tap, so I like to stop by to see what's going on. Marty, the bartender, is amazing. He has singlehandedly introduced me to several beers and I love to get his take on what's happening in the beer scene.
This most recent visit was a bit of a quagmire. None of the craft beers were on special....unless you consider big beer a craft. Now, the price of a craft is only $5, so that's a bonus and worth the price.
Their food items on Happy Hour don't necessarily match up with the items on the menu...challenge.
Ultimately I wanted to take a special to go and I was all set to end the evening after splitting 7 beers with Compadres. It didn't happen. Apparently you can't take a happy hour special to go. Big fail in my book. Just spent $5 each for a half dozen plus beer and got denied a bit of food....not good.
I'm guessing I could have ordered the food and had it brought over and then asked for a To Go box and been OK....but that seems shady.
I have now accepted that when you head here you can drink but you gotta have a plan for food afterwards if you want to eat elsewhere.
Kudos to the bar staff...negatives to the establishment for the rediculous rules that'll Make me think twice about bringing friends here for drinks, and some food to go.
