Great beer selection, but if you want something normal to drink, be prepared to feel like a loser. Sometimes I just want a nice, light pilsner and that is just not okay with the bartenders.
If you're a lover of beer, you will love this place. I, however, always end up walking away feeling stupid, or way more drunk than I wanted to be because I succumbed to peer pressure and got some hoppy beer that I didn't really like. I almost feel like I need to study beers and breweries before I come here so I know what to order, because asking questions about what they carry usually just annoys whoever is working.
Crowded on the weekends, darts and pool are cool, but as previous posts said some of the staff is not always the friendliest. A good mixed crowd. It is, after all, the cultural hub of the Midwest. I'm sure I'll be back when I want a microbrew and need to walk home... oh, and parking is a huge pain too.
