Price Description

Pics of bad boys, outlaws, celebs and politicos cover the walls at this eclectic little bar beloved by locals. More than 100 micro- and imported brews are crammed into the fridge next to a tiny kitchen that turns out nachos with homemade corn salsa, cheese steaks, Cajun turkey sandwiches and fondue for two. Customers connect across a face-to-face bar. Live bands and beer tastings add to the fun. Mains $5–$13.
