Craft beers from all over the world plus awesome food and the best soundtrack I've ever heard. If you sit in the choir loft, you'll think you're in a European pub. Burgers are made from humanely raised and butchered cows -- and they're excellent. But we usually split an order of shiitake mushroom sliders and frites.
