7.6/10 — Setting 7 Selection 8 Service 8 Food Value 7 Overall 8

Visited in April 2025. It was not very easy to find since there was no sign outside, and looked like a regular store front. The inside is darkish with an undulating long marble top bar on one side and low tables on the other. They had 16 beers on tap and 3-4 cans available including guest beers and collabs. The beers were quite good. There was no food. All in all a taproom that merits visiting regularly.
