This is partially because they're currently carrying two Bell's beers on tap (Amber--divine, and Hopslam 2X--10% abv and so magically sweet AND hoppy that Teej, my fiance and I decided that it must pour directly out of the Easter Bunny's anus...the most magically sweet and hoppy of all the rabbit anuses, as you know).\n\nBell's aside, Crane Alley is a place I want to be at all the time. It's dim, but not dank. Tasteful, and not over the top. The waitress checked in an appropriate amount of the time, was friendly, and had mad non-spilling-the-water skills when pouring all the way to the top of the glass. I had the falafel pita, which was only 'okay', but was later upgraded to 'good' when I added salt and pepper. It came with quinoa tabbouleh that was the slightest bit creamy, and oh-so-plentiful. Mmm....quinoa tabbouleh."^^ .
