This place is great, interesting beer list, friendly regulars and bartenders. There is a real community feel here. I live around the corner and it's become my local.

What a great place! I wish I was there now. Found the referral on Beer Advocate for a place to get a craft beer not too far from the REI Camping Store. Service was great as well as the folks around the bar. I even got offered and gladly received a bag of whole bean single-origin roast from a patron. It was unbelievable, as if I was having a pleasant dream. Check out their web page for a list of offerings; I had the dark cherry cider.
