Chill spot to grab a drink -- the Hurricanes are authentic, and if you show your Gumbo Bros. receipt, you can get a few bucks off your drink!

They don't serve food but have Party Mix for their patrons. Love the feel. They have a patio and darts and they had $5 beer happy hour all night on a Tuesday. Pretty damn awesome. Crowd looks good.

Small neighborhood bar with a limited but good selection of American and international craft beers. Lots of whiskey and great music too.

Small local bar with a nice selection of craft beers on tap. Friendly staff, lots of whiskey, good music and a backyard.

Impressive beer selection, but what's more impressive is how knowledgable the bartenders are. Great place to try something new whether you're a beer connoisseur or a total rookie.

Great beers on draft, wonderfully friendly bartenders, and take one/leave one book selection with surprisingly good options!

Good selection of beers and a friendly bartender. Nice place to stop for beer before seeing a movie. They also fill growlers.
Bibi MillerMarch 19, 2015
The bartenders are super cool, the selection of beer on tap is great and on Tuesday night they have $1 off whiskey.

Free bar snacks, a wildly popular seasonal beer garden, and a come-one-come-all bar vibe is worth a stop.

They have beer. It is good. They check your vax record carefully. What more do you need?

Atlantic Avenue staple serving a selection of Craft Beers (available to-go in a growler). Come for darts and wings on Mondays. Daily specials.

Can be awkwardly dead on weekends, but the good beer selection and dart board slightly redeem it.
Emily KolodnerMarch 26, 2015

It has a certain ... stench to it, and it could use a thorough cleaning. Just not my cup o' tea. Good luck.

Don't bang your head on the stupidly placed shelves behind the bench. It hurts and is not recommended.
