My favorite restaurant/brewery in Union Square. Granted, it's the only brewery in Union Square (as far as I know) but the beer is great & so is the food. This place makes a perfect stop for dinner & drinks or just drinks before a concert at August Hall around the corner.
They always have IPAs. Clear, hazy, session...can't go wrong with any of them. But if you're lucky, they'll also have a more viscous, dark beer on tap. These in my opinion are way better than their IPAs. If you're really lucky, they'll have two like they did during my most recent visit. I rather enjoyed the Postcard from Saint Petersburg, a 10.5% Russian Imperial Stout with full, roasted chocolate undertones but still not too sweet. I also liked Brendan's Fault, a 9% Imperial Black IPA (a type we don't see too often!)
Their beer pairs well with their food which I'd describe as fancy bar food. Like, a burger, but not just any burger, but one with local blue cheese, provolone, a fried egg, and served au jus (The Bartlett Burger.) If turkey, pulled pork, or reubens are more your style...Bartlett Hall has you covered too. Their fish tacos are solid and so is the kale salad. For sides, truffle fries are always good but I'd pick the roasted oyster mushrooms, since I don't know of any other place that serves those as a side...and they are tasty.
Prices for most items are on par for the area, although I think the sides are a great deal at $5 for most.
