friendly staff! They let me sit outside with my laptop and drink a beer before it got busy with dinner service! Great selection of beers: green flash double ipa, grapefruit sculpin, and Beer 4.

A small place that gets a long line quickly, but the food is some of the best in the neighborhood: bison bolognese, truffle fries, among the favorites here. Good beer list, too.

Bison bolognese and the arancini are both excellent. The beer menu is shorter than the Publick House across the street but has all my favorites

The jalapeño Rangoon is a fantastic new addition to the menu!

The Abbey serves amazing food until 1:30am and they have both Guinness & Allagash White on draft - the top two food groups on the food pyramid. When you go say hi to Damian behind the bar.

their is nothing as good as the white wine sauce on these mussels. I want a mug of it, poured over everything I eat

It can get cramped and obnoxiously loud, but the food is great with a nice selection of craft brews. The mussels topped with fries is excellent!
