Great place for brewpub fare. I really, really like the Buffalo Burger. Brews are great for the hop lovers (careful of the ABVs though; they really like their high alcohol content beers). Fun spot!

Drinks & Nightlife
A Nano-Brewery par excellence. Plenty of hoppiness in the selections for the hopheads, but I like the Kölsch for its classic beeriness.

Very friendly neighborhood tavern. In the old German tradition, kids are welcome here (before 10 pm). Perennially rated best bar food in MSN, but so much more: Pizzas to die for!

A true BrewPup in the sense that the brewing occurs on-site. Malty beers are their specialty (in other words, my kind of beer!), though there are also some high-hopped brews on tap. Great food, too!
