The Sovereign is an exceptional beer bar along the East Coast, offering a remarkable selection of Belgian and craft beers, both on draft and in bottles. The food menu features standout dishes like the rabbit in Krieg and the braised short ribs, along with croquettes, bacon wrapped dates, and duck confit, all praised for their quality. The beer selection is the real highlight, described as second to none, with visitors often planning to return, especially those preparing for a move to Belgium. The service is generally friendly and helpful, though some reviews mention that it can be awkward or slow at times. The atmosphere is lively but can be very loud, making conversations difficult, and it can also get quite hot, possibly due to air conditioning issues. The beer served is largely European, served in the Euro tradition, not ice cold like in America, which adds to the authentic experience. Overall, The Sovereign is a great destination for beer lovers and food enthusiasts alike, with many enjoying the clever pairings and value for restaurant week.
