    Four or five kinds of Surly on tap, and most are only $3 from 3-6. Every. Single. Day. Unbeatable.

    Not the friendliest when you walk in. We apparently were standing just a few feet away from where you go when you are ready to order.

    Pot roast sucked, service, if you can call it that, was a joke. We tipped thinking it was a normal place, but apparently you bus your own table...? I'm afraid not. Silly hipsters.
