Description
Do not expect rabbits pulled from hats or coins behind ears. The draw here is simpler: a moderately lit space that smells of beer and old wood, featuring tables to catch up with friends and enough breathing room to avoid a suffocating crowd. It is a straightforward setting for a cold beer, run by accommodating bartenders and offering a spacious layout that makes it easy to linger.
