    Fish tacos are out of this world and super authentic, complete with house-made aioli and mago salsa.

    Pot roast sucked, service, if you can call it that, was a joke. We tipped thinking it was a normal place, but apparently you bus your own table...? I'm afraid not. Silly hipsters.

    Four or five kinds of Surly on tap, and most are only $3 from 3-6. Every. Single. Day. Unbeatable.
