Good, especially the guest taps. I'm not a big fan of their BOP beers or
really any BOP beers aside fom Bigtime.

Closed, or so I was told.

I like this place, good food and generally a few interesting local beers.

Well, since you're in town I might argue that it's worth going out of your
way to sample the upper-level beer experiences, such as the beer store
Bottleworks on 45th in Wallingford district. A few blocks down the street
and around the corner on Stone Way is the Blue Star, pub food and good
tap selection.
