If you are looking for a great place to have a mature brew or two, this is your go to place. This is far from your college frat house but not as far as the swanky clubs in the meat-packing district. The beers are standard for the craft-cost and location priced. You should be going here to impress that girl you just met or go out with some corporate hotshots celebrating another week in the books. The food is upscale for a pub, the portions could be a little bigger for the price. It’s no longer the best kept secret on the east side, definitely try it out.
B-Minus suggestion: First time you go, make it a no traditional crowd time. If you want to soak it in and have the chance to look around, don’t go on a Thursday/Friday happy hour….you’re gonna have a bad time.
