Brian M.Brian McG: My favorite beers out of all the microbreweries in town. Great burgers and fries too

Kyle H.Kyle Harrison: Great craft brews and a nice local pub feel. Very rustic decor, which matches the warehouse feel of the neighborhood. Lots of long tables for big groups to hang out and enjoy.
