Great Beers and Staff, Food Disappointment
I visited this cool spot feeling very hungry and enticed by the delicious smell of the food. Unfortunately, I couldn't eat any of their food. However, the beers were excellent and the staff was great.
I wished someone could afford this on the Eastside, especially in a small neighborhood feel like this.

Good Pizza and Wings, Family Friendly
This was my first time at this beer cafe, as a friend who is a fan of their beers recommended it. The environment is family friendly. It was close to capacity when I arrived during dinner time.
Be aware that pizza is the only entree on the menu, though they do offer a few appetizers. The smoked wings were a pleasant surprise and a nice change from greasy, deep-fried options. The pizza was very good, actually one of the better ones I've had recently.
I paired it with a Big Country Pilsner.
