Great layed back place to grab a local beer on draught and a bite too. Manhattans has really amped up the beer select in the past few years and now offers one of the better lists in town. I do often feel that it's super hop/bitter focused, but hey if that's what the kids are drinkin' why hell not eh? I'm more of a saison, sour, lager sort myself, but let's be honest I don't come here enough for them revolve their list around me. With that said I always find a brew I can enjoy and respect and I love that.
The staff is super chill and always inviting. They put up with a good amount of drunken debauchery in the late hours of night and their ability to maintain a positive vibe is impressive. I have to say I have never eaten their pizza, as a long time American Flatbread employee going out for pizza just isn't something I do. I have however enjoyed their Mozzarella sticks, I know sounds simplistic and boring, but I'm telling you this isn't your run of the mill mozz stick. House-made, which I assume means they cut a big hunk of mozz and then bread it in the most delightful crispy coating ever. I'm not a fried good eater, but on Packer Sunday I put my conscience aside and let freedom ring. These mozz sticks fit the bill, as does the Philly sandwich, which is even more of a treat. Perfectly shaved local beef or a fresh bun, it's a win for sure. Order it with some Jalapenos and your golden.
They usually have something on the agenda, be it live music, kareoke, open mic or football on the tv's. Its a fun vibe and again a great place for a good local beer minus any of the pretentiousness that sometimes comes with that. I'll say it again, mozzarella sticks and a philly cheesesteak. Peace.
