I visited this establishment the other day. I was very satisfied. Very tasty signature beer that they brew themselves. And they also cook very tasty food here. We ordered several dishes: fried dumplings, sea salad, shawarma. Very tasty dishes with interesting and original decoration. For lovers of sweets, there is also something to choose from here. I recommend it. There is a friendly atmosphere here for spending time with friends or loved ones.
See moreNice spot that's good for a casual meet up. Many beers in tap. The sours need work... They are flavor bombs but a bit too strong, unbalanced. The IPAs were "ok" compared to the norm on the east coast these days.
