Pierre v.Pierre van Medge: Bell's two hearted ale (IPA) is awesome, get it while it lasts!

EaterEater: The draw? Real beer, like the rarely seen (in NYC) Maine Brewing Company's "Lunch" IPA, which generally put the neighborhood's comfortable pub drafts to shame. The snacks are simple (and satisfying).

M T.M T: The best thing is the devils on horseback- not impressed by the pretzel and rubenstein. Choose your own beer because the "best IPA" def wasn't, other beers were better.

Al S.Al S: Awesome outpost of the Brooklyn-based brewery. They’re known for their hazy New England-style IPAs and barrel-aged stouts. Drink one or all of those. Usually a decent size draft list and cans to go.

Alex R.Alex Robertson: Fidens cans for like $10 or $11 but whew shit it’s good. A good, pricey beer bar. If you like IPAs get the Jasper on draft

NiaNia: Everything I have tried, I love- from the vegan kielbasa to the giant pretzels. Not mentioning the stellar local beers in rotation. I can always find something I love to eat and drink here.
