Very nice beer selection. Lots of Belgiums and a good variety of craft brews. Several interesting beers on tap and a very good bottle selection.

Went here on a Pliny the Elder tip from Eric. The place is small, with a decent patio. The beer selection was great, both drafts and bottles. I had Pliny the Elder on draft, plus bottles including Bethlehem Brew Works pumpkin ale. The food was delicious. Great salmon and nachos, but the service was on the slow side (it was pretty crowded). Still, they have at least a dozen bottled beers I haven’t had, including Belgians, so I’ll make this a regular place.

This is the closest place to my house that has a nice selection of craft beer. They have about 8 craft draft beers all the time (usually a DFH, Weyerbacher, Victory, Stoudts and various others). Nice selection of bottles reasonably prices for a bar in PA. Good food too, decent place to go with a family. The entire place is non-smoking too which is great! Oh one annoying thing. Everytime we go Luther Vandrous is playing on the CD player.

Had dinner there tonight with a few friends. Great food and a half way decent beer list (including locals and belgians). Taps rotate quickly and they get in new bottles on a frequent basis. The only downside is that I’ve had the majority of the beers there.
