This is sort of a cross between a gastropub and a tapas bar, which sounds like it shouldn't work but believe me, it does. They have a large number of beers on tap and a menu of interesting/innovative takes on pub grub, priced reasonably and served as small plates. For example, between my wife and me, we had an artisan cheese plate, bacon cheddar sliders, fried calamari and some spicy raw tuna on top of crispy flatbread-like chips as well as two beers each. Basically this let us try a bunch of awesome stuff without getting too full or breaking the bank. Everything they served us was good; the star in my opinion was the tuna. I appreciated the bartender's recommendations for beer, as well - I told him I was in the mood for a lager and wanted to try something new, and he had me taste his recommendation before he served up a full one. Nice gesture.
