Looking for a brew and a light meal, this place really hit the spot. Starting with the Grilled Shrimp and Shishito Peppers with Sweet Chili Glaze, Thai Basil Sea Salt it was a sign of an excellent entrée to come. For dinner, I ordered the Fish & Chips -- Daily Catch, Malt Vinegar, Beer Batter, Tartar Sauce, Buttered Smashed Peas. My only complaint about this dish is actually how the menu reads. Yes, it does say Fish AND Chips, but my brain had to pause a moment when I told the waitress what I wanted because the "chips" part is not on the list of preparations. Plus, when it did arrive, the peas were far from being "Smashed", which would have been a new experience I was looking forward to too. In the end, though, the fish was fried really well -- not greasy at all. The peas, though not smashed, were tasty. Finally, the fires, not listed, were great as well. To top all the above, the beer list is welcomingly long and well explained -- though that sounds simple, it is something not always found at bars with an extensive beer selection.
My final comment is that I believe I knew about this place for years before actually coming here. I heard the place was newly renovated, and it certainly looks that way. I believe my only complaint about the location itself is that there are so many hard surfaces I would think it would get amazingly loud if it was crowded.
