OK, I'll break the ice and review this place. Can't believe nobody has, yet. My visit was a few weeks ago, and I didn't go in there and take notes with a review in mind, but here's my minimalist review from memory...

We walked in on a Saturday afternoon to find a long bar with 36 taps on the right. Tables lined up to the left, and directly at the back beyond the bar area. There was also a loft area with more table seating. The place was not very crowded, and based on the conversations overheard, was populated mostly by people that live nearby.

The tap beers were all craft and import (no macros) and there were a few somewhat hard to find beers available. No complaints about selection. Beers were available in 4-oz, 12-oz, 20-oz, and growler fills were also an option. In addition, there is a bottle list of craft, Belgian, etc., numbering about 150 or so.

Food was a bit upscale - not standard pub grub. Cheese boards, charcuterie, salads, creative sandwiches, pots, appetizers, and the like. We tried two of the pots (braised beef/sweet potato orzo and roasted chicken crimini mushroom), and they were pretty tasty.

Service was friendly and competent, but as mentioned, it was not crowded, so make of that what you will.

All in all, a nice addition to the downtown beer options. No parking of its own that I could tell, so it will often be a bit of a chore to go there, but we'll be back.
