 This gourmet gastropub takes its grub very seriously, with a menu that includes painstakingly crafted charcuterie and oysters galore. Dozens of global beers on tap are a perfect accompaniment to pool, video games, or the live music and DJs that pack barstools every night. A full dinner menu is served without pretension, ranging from classics like a dressed iceberg wedge or depth-defying mac 'n' cheese to popping prawn and corn fritters in a perfect chipotle aïoli, and intense quail---yes, quail!---stuffed with house-made sausage and cornbread in a wine reduction that's the perfect balance of exotic and familiar. The basic burger is the bomb---cooked to juicy succulence, paired with crisp french fries. The versatile kitchen can also crank out an herbed spätzle with buttery spinach, perfectly cooked, but blistered with an overdose of salt. A creamy house-made cheesecake appeals even to those who have no fondness for the usual sticky mass.
