Filipe Fortes: Great beer and a nice outdoor area in the back. You can bring your own food, so get either Banh Mi from Nicky's or Lamb Burgers and Noodles from Xi'An Famous Foods.
John Michael: Rotating craft beers on tap and an awesome no-nonsense patio in the back. Great place to catch up with friends over drinks.
Regan Bozman: Excellent dive. Great beer selection and garden. Dog friendly!
MurphGuide.com: The main focus here is excellent craft beer, but also ask about their house-infused liquors. And try the Scotch eggs.
Tracey Churray: Great beer selection. Brewers platter is a solid choice to share over a few beers.
Anne Conner: We got the truffle fries, poutine, and soft pretzels! It was all absolutely amazing. I also got a Green Flash Green Bullet 3X IPA and it was perfect :-)

Gabe A: The beer shop has a huge selection of craft beer and some home brewing supplies. Seriously, who buys PBR when some of the best beer in the world is right next to it?

Carlos Perea: Great place to explore beers from around the world, especially belgium style beers. The Monk Bartender will recommend beers that will satisfy your pallet, but remembers to Shhhhhhhhh! Talk low.
The Corcoran Group: Be sure to obey the one cardinal rule - no talking loudly, or else you'll get a big "SHHHH" from the bartender! The beer list is excellent, so it's a great place to (quietly) catch up with a friend.
a: Fantastic tap selection, always something new to try. Best place to have an actual chat with someone, especially in this area.
