"The downside here is zoo admission is required, so if the plan was all beer, no gorillas, this isn’t the best choice. But for those who want a cold beer and a bite before or after seeing gorillas — or short-eared elephant shrews, pig-nosed turtles, and red kangaroos — this place is pretty much ideal. Three food trucks sell vegetarian fare, fried favorites, and paninis." - Rachel Vigoda, Sarah Maiellano
