"Family-run passion project Two Birds Taphouse is a gastropub that lives up to the name. Helmed by Jeff and Rachel Byrd, their son, actor Dan Byrd, and his wife, Lauren, the homey, industrial-chic hangout offers 32 types of (mostly local) craft beer, plus a menu of grown-up pub fare, like pan-seared barramundi with lemongrass pistachio wild rice and fluffy ricotta donut holes. A cheeky craft-cocktail program (Ex-Squeeze Me; Honey, I Drunk the Kids) and beer-forward ethos keep the vibe buzzy and relaxed, whether you’re here for date night or music bingo." - Sarah Bisacca
