Met My Wife at Union Street! Try the Oysters (my favorite on Thursday nights) and then use Taxi Magic smartphone app to book a safe ride home. Just ask the bartender, Bruce...

If the downstairs bar is busy, head upstairs to the little bar and grab a nice cold glass of Harpoon IPA.

Drinks and the pretzels!

Do NOT sit in Victoria M.'s section. Went with friends and the checks took an hour (no joke) to straighten out after repeated attempts, not to mention dealing with the attitude we got.
