Hands down one of the best beer menu's in the City, not to mention the food is fantastic. The best part is they serve their full menu until closing.

Bartender was incredibly rude. Service was very slow. Was given a beer that had a 1 inch head on it and I asked for it to be topped off and had to argue with server over it. Service frankly ruined my experience here.
