The DRB

I went for happy hour yesterday. The place is super cool and the beer selection is f'amazing. However, the happy hour deals arent that great. My friend and I spent $70 on two appetizers and five beers. I'd be fine with spending this on dinner anytime, but during happy hour? Not so much!

I wish The Democratic Republic of Beer was a real country. It pains me that this doesn't exist.

That being said, I love this place! Not for the food, of course. I think frequent patrons know it's nothing to brag about. In fact, it's mediocre at best. The beer selection, though! That's the reason I keep coming back. I love discovering new brews from different countries every time I visit.

The absolute best part? The free parking! This is why this location will keep getting my business. No more parking hassles when I want to relax, grab a beer, and have some conversations. Free parking is a rarity in this area, so I'll always take advantage of this amenity!

Overall, I feel like this DRB location is superior to the original. The staff is knowledgable and completely down-to-earth. Great beer, great vibe, good times.

Went on a Thursday night for a late dinner after doing a community service project nearby. We had a group of 10 and were the only people there for most of the time. the whole table order (minus drinks) was a few apps and 5 burgers, most of them ordered medium or medium rare. Apps came out quick and were your typical bar fare. About 20 minutes later we smelled something burning in the back and 10 minutes after that the first burger came out. 10 minutes later the second burger, and so on and so forth. All were cooked well the whole way through, dry and charred on the outside. You would think a restaurant would have the capacity to cook more than one burger at a time, but apparently they don't.

At least the fries and beers were good.
