This is the building on the FAR side of the parking lot opposite the Brunswick Baths, people. So no nee to stand on the sidewalk, Google Maps on your phone, looking confused. I've already done that so you don't have to.
What looks like a medium-sized bar from the outside opens up into a huuuuuuge space. Enormous glass ceilings are fitted out in the front part of the beer garden area. Whoever designed it did a great job to keep the warehouse feel. Plus, having a ceiling means the beer garden party can go in inclement weather. I love, love, loved the fact they have real trees growing -- it's a wonderful way to green up the space.
The DJ booth in the middle of the bar, between the beer garden and the seated interior, gets the atmosphere pumping. This is a high-octane place for a Sunday session (when I visited), not a laid-back pub.
The only defects I can report are the over-eager staff: my drink was grabbed from the table when it wasn't even empty. Plus, the food seems a bit overpriced. While it was presented in a cute little bento box, accompanied by a great little rack to hold sauces, my friend's dumplings worked out to be $2 apiece. Guess we've been spoiled by Chinatown's prices.
Massive bonus points for the enormous wall-mounted bike rack bolted onto the wall. It's the first time I've seen anything like it inside a bar, and I have to give massive kudos to Howler for encouraging cycling!
