"If there was ever a place that could passably do it all, Maria’s would be it. The Bridgeport establishment has a serious beer list, but it’s also a cocktail bar and liquor store — plus, sister restaurant Kimski is next door with Korean food. Maria’s was started by the people behind Marz Community Brewing, but since it’s so much more than a brewery taproom (and just an iconic spot in its own right), it’s a certified beer-drinking destination." - Adam Rothbarth
