On the Grid : Retreat Gastropub

"A neighborhood gem in the middle of the booming bioscience and technology scene that is the Cortex District, Retreat Gastropub offers a comfortable and approachable atmosphere for the creative minds next door. Serving up craft cocktails and beer alongside a fresh and simple menu, the staff welcomes you to fuel up or decompress at your own pace. Stand outs include a variety of house-made shrub cocktails, farmhouse burger and a sinful poutine. And the majority of the options are made from scratch and on-site, such as their signature artisanal ketchup. Vegetarian options are plentiful as well. But plan ahead – it gets busy during the weekday lunch rush, and they don’t take reservations. So if you dig Edison bulbs, wood-top tables and a down-home pub grub, stop on by." - Manifest
