"The Filling Station’s 16-seat patio is removed from the chaos of 12 South’s celebrity-owned pillow stores and luxury retailers. So, it’s a great place to catch your breath (and have a drink) in the neighborhood. Two huge trees offer plenty of shade and, despite its proximity to 12 South, the crowd isn’t very touristy. No matter what time you go, there’s usually a mix of families with dogs, stay-at-home parents playing catch-up, and dudes who just finished their run. Twenty-four beer taps highlight local, regional, and national favorites like Bearded Iris, Creature Comforts, and Maine Beer Co., and there’s a fun growler program so you can take home your favorites." - adam sloan
