I like the concept of this bar! You get a card and then can pour your beer, and you pay by the ounce! They had a good selection of different beers. We spent St. Patrick's Day here, and the atmosphere was so much fun! The photos don't do it justice because it's a charming place with lots of outdoor seating!

Good food, good booze and good service. Awesome place where you pour your own beer from a tap. Try the smashburger!

Having the Walnut Room as the kitchen is a good call. Other than that, everything is going downhill here. The prices are sky high: my friends and I had 2-3 beers each and our bills were $30-40 per person. There's a mandatory 20% service fee on any bill, plus they default to an additional 20% tip on top of that. For a place where you serve yourself.This place used to have great beers on tap, but not so much now. 6 of the taps were still Oktoberfest/marzen; it's after Christmas, Oktoberfest was 3 months ago, how is this beer still in inventory?

Great list, but not as great as it could be. Reminds me of some Italian winery's that serve by card. It's a great way to taste by the oz.

Came here for the coloring book night (every 3rd Wednesday of the month) and loved the vibe. There was mellow house music playing and people just vibing while coloring and sipping on some drinks. I loved the sake they have on tap right now, I’ll definitely be back!

This place is WAYYYY too expensive for beer, we went with 2 people and spent $71 after the 20% “living wages” fee that they DO NOT tell you about entering!!! Why do they get an extra 20% for not serving anything since it’s serve yourself? The service wasn’t even that good with nobody welcoming at the front to check in. I filled my cup half way three times, same with my boyfriend, and we each tried a few beers, which should not equal $71. Don’t come here unless you want to spend a fortune sampling beers

One of the best places to relax and have a bite. Several beers on tap, always a great time. Definitely recommended, just what the Dr. ordered.

Incredibly expensive beer and you have to serve it yourself. Depending on its per ounce price, a normal 16 oz. beer in this place will cost you between $14.22 and $18.29, including the mandatory 20% "living wage fee" and tax. How does that compare with your usual pub? On top of that, food service was terrible in our case. One hour wait for a couple of apps. You would think they could do better with all that they are raking in from the living wage fees.

Way too overpriced for what you’re getting PLUS despite the fact that it’s all self serve, you still pay a 20% tip that you can’t take off. Two beer ‘samples’ plus two ciders ‘samples’ (I mean < 3 oz of each) costs over 20$. Also ordered their spinach dip which looks and tastes equally disgusting.

This was a great spot to hang out and have some apps and just chill with friends as they have both indoor and outdoor seating. I came here on a Friday night after a ball game, and it was a good choice. Only thing is I wish they have more restrooms. I remember waiting a quite a long line. Love all the taps that they have especially the Colorado ones. You can play around and find what you like. Great spot and very fun concept for a beer lover who likes pouring their own beer. You keep a card on file and get a big glass you can drink from. They have some decent snacks too. The pretzels pair very well with all the beer. I haven't tried much else but I'm sure I will when I come back. Great spot for big groups of friends. This spot is on my list for a potential causal birthday get together. Overall 4.5/5
