Finally visited the OG. Easy parking, lot and street. Large space with a spatious patio and large indoor as well. No flights, but individually priced 4oz pours. About 16 taps, IPA heavy as is the norm these days. Good service, decent prices. Solid beer quality. A number of four packs and a few bottles to go. Can order food from the taco place next door.
