The Burdock is a very new restaurant/bar/venue and it does all three very well. The food is fresh and delicious, and is prepared artistically and creatively. The friendly staff know just what beer to pair with your food, and I see they are nearly finished building their own in-house brewery. The beer selection is diverse and carefully thought out, and the team of brewmasters are very knowledgeable and like to share this knowledge to those who are curious.
On to the venue, it's in the same building but is isolated in a sound-proof theatre space through a couple heavy doors. The space looks to hold about 100 people and is beautifully designed with extreme attention to detail with regards to the acoustics. The shows they book are extremely diverse.
All in all, not too many places have such a dedicated staff of friendly people striving for something special. Highly recommend!
