One of the best beer bars I've had the pleasure of visiting. The food is solid, the beer list is incredible, and they make their own Flemish sour ale, which is exceptional. All that and the bartenders are really friendly. It does get very busy during primetime, however. Definitely worth a visit or 3.
The vegan food options here are very limited. The vegan burger is a dr pragers patty with basic lettuce tomato and onion.
When I’m here today they also have sautéd veggies and a vegan gazpacho that are pretty good.
I would say this place isn’t worth seeking out for food as a vegan, but is a great cozy spot to enjoy some interesting beers and grab a bite if you get hungry.
The staff I’ve interacted with are all super friendly, knowledgeable and understanding.

The selection is very well sourced and thoughtfully curated, including Chimay, Chouffe, and other pillars of Belgian brewing. They also feature elite American craft beers, including ales from Alchemist and Russian River during our visit.
The food includes barroom staples, like burgers, with more Belgian classic, like frites and mussel. The pairing is solid and affable.
The atmosphere is cozy,...
