This inviting basement brew bar has a gourmet secret. In addition to dark-wood tables, beer regalia, and 50 brands of mostly German, Belgian and Brooklyn suds, the dive has a tiny hot-plate-equipped kitchen turning out seasonal, locavore grub. Gastropub worthy eats, rich in flavor and texture, range from cheddar-and-hominy soup to tomato-based shepherd’s pie, and entrees favor the school of "nose to tail" dining—heavy on lush pork belly, oxtails, and veal cheeks. Welcome bar-food liberties include nightly whims like parchment-baked “octopus confit” and razor clams steamed in sake and cider.
Kitchen HoursThe kitchen is open from 5:30 p.m. to midnight.
