Profile

Drop Off Service's owners have done right by this former laundromat, transforming its once-shabby interior completely but saving the wonderful plate-glass front windows, complete with etched-in name. Where industrial-sized dryers once spun, there are now gleaming taps, dark-stained, high-backed wooden booths, stylishly upholstered chairs, and rows of invitingly sleek barstools. The slick décor doesn’t upstage the main attractions: The list of European wines is concise and dead-on, and among the 22 beers on tap are mainstays such as the taste-bud punishing California import Arrogant Bastard Ale, the refreshing mild bitter ale Marstons Pedigree, and Dry Black Thorne—an English cider that’s a dry, snappy-finishing alternative to the sweet stuff. On weekends, the space fills up with mature, clean-cut East Villagers, some of them ex-pats looking for a taste of home while the incredibly accommodating staff bends over backwards to fulfill their patrons' cravings.

Found this place on a sleepy saturday afternoon.Nice surprise. Excellent choice of Brews. I think 25 plus on Tap alone.Best Pint of Guinness i've had in ages and actually served in a proper 20 ounce Guinness pint glass. The happy hour deal was great (half price until 8pm )$3 a pint for really quality beer. Laid back vibe with good tunes and friendly service. The happy hour crowd is definitely a local crowd but that changed later on when a livelier younger crew started coming in.

When "Half-Off Drinks" doesn't mean Half-Off

Went to this bar for happy hour on a Thursday. Was very pleased with the variety and quality of beers on tap. The bar had a comfortable feel and laid back clientele, and Half-Off? I was in heaven. When I received the un-itemized bill however, it was 50% more than expected. Upon asking for an explanation, the bartender was astonishingly rude and condescending. Apparently, the "Half off drinks" deal does not apply to Belgian beers and "most people who drink Belgian beers know that they are expensive." Furthermore, I was not informed of this policy as "most of our customers are regulars and know that the Belgian beers are not half off." I should have known that a $4 Delerium was too good to be true. But a simple apology for the confusion would have gone a long way.
