Ok, this is a tough one. I want to give a 5-star review and let people know what a phenomenal bar this is, but I don't want it to get so crowded that I can't get a table anymore.
I guess I'll take my chances and spill the beans. Imagine walking into a place that takes you to another time. That time would be, well, umm, the 70's maybe?
Hard to say for sure but it's decorated in the coolest (and yet warmest) wall to wall wood paneling, adorned with classic old beer signs/ads/etc. from 50 years ago. Believe it or not, there's even a wall made from classic old beer cans which is awesomeness to the 12th degree. (That is, when you're not fixated on the dozens of scary baby dolls hanging from the ceiling LOL - they definitely get into the spirit of the holidays and this visit was right before Halloween).
Grab a table and take a look a the extensive, thoughtful beer list. Tons of draft choices with great support for local brewers but lots of different options for those that truly LOVE beer. There are domestic choices, international choices, classic beers (like Pabst) that are a perfect match for the 70's vibe and decor, but also tons of interesting curated choices that run the gamut from light, to dark, to heavy, to IPA and so on. Definitely something for everyone and at a fair price.
Music running over the speakers is equally amazing. As mentioned earlier, we were there before Halloween (see photo) and heard all the classic Monster Mash type songs, but also heard great bands like Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, Pink Floyd, Led Zep, and other great tunes. Perfect music to add the final touches to a perfect atmosphere.
All in all, if the goal of a good beerhall is to get your mind off the daily rat race and just relax for an hour or two, there is no better place than the Silver Spoon to make you feel like you're somewhere else. Just, umm, don't stare too closely at the baby dolls. They stare back.
