Good beer on tap. Technically a sports bar, but very low key and clean. They have trivia nights, and great barbeque, including vegan barbeque tofu. Right near the metro, so this is also a great place to meet up with people. Outdoor patio. Great service and friendly, knowledgable bartenders. Good beer on tap.
