Beveridge Place Pub

Great selection of beer. I love the neighborhood feel that this place has going on. Board games everywhere...I honestly could see myself spending an entire day there playing monopoly. I wish we lived closr.

Some would call it a light at the end of a tunnel.
Some would call it a beacon of light in a storm.
Others would be less dramatic call it a great place to sit and drink beer at the end of a long walk.

Whatever you call it, we were really freakin happy to have found it. We walked here on a warm(ish) Friday night after SummerFest from Beer Junction. One squinty-eyed estimation of distance on the Yelp Map app let us know it was only, like, 6 blocks or so (cough cough cough) so away we walked down California Ave to check out a place that had great beer but less crowded by the festival crowd.

Upon walking in I was impressed with the dark woods, cushion-y couches and relaxed feel of the layout. A baseball team was eating Zeek's pizza. Dogs of all kinds peered out from tables. People were playing shuffleboard, board games and pool. BOARD GAMES!? I love spots that encourage all evening lounging with board games. (See my next review of Urban Family Public House)

Totally blown away by the welcomed ambiance, it was time to saddle up to the bar. A chalkboard informed us of their plentiful beer choices on tap, arranged from admittedly light and summery lagers to black tar shit that will sprout hairs on your chesticles. (Can you guess which ones I prefer...?) I chose the Dogfish's rendition of girl brew and my taller half chose a dark and maple sweet IPA. Next round included a cream ale that, due to apparent difficulties with their nitrogen system was decidedly less than creamy, but proved to be a minor note of the night full of exploring a great new place and new suds to sample.

seriously, best place I've ever been! The bartender is super nice and the people hanging out are awesome. There was a couple (in their 80s I would guess...) hanging out sharing a pitcher of beer, playing gin and snacking on some popcorn. Right before we left some people came in with their whippets and a small mutt. they are super PET FRIENDLY!!

MUST CHECK OUT!!
