They usually have around 30 on tap, and they’re divided into groups with names like “Funk,” “Malt,” and “Hop.” The space is long and dark with weathered wooden booths and decorative knick-knacks like a model ship and a cat painting, and it’s great for either a first date or some casual drinks with friends." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren
