Description
Behind the neighborhood-pub facade, this divey hangout leans into a downtown energy. The tap list features 19 drafts and over 35 bottled beers, though anyone looking for mixed drinks should note there are no cocktail options at the main bar. Weekdays bring trivia and live music, while the downstairs private event spaces offer a budget-friendly option for group bookings. However, experiences here can be unpredictable, with rental satisfaction frequently tempered by reports of inconsistent service and billing disputes.
