Smith's is a busy joint. If you're looking to shoot pool there are a lot of tables. The bar area is fairly spacy and there are a lot of TV's.
The best part of Smith's (IMO) is the beer selection. It's a point of pride for them to offer finely crafted brews and not the run of the mill. As I made my way up the flight of stairs I'd already decided to put my choice of beer in the bartenders hands.
I told him what I usually drank and I asked him to 'dig something up' for me. FYI they don't serve Sam Adams or Newcastle... The Stone IPA he served was perfect for me.
A bonus for Smith's is that they serve food from their sister location downstairs. Theodore's offers an awesome (mostly BBQ) menu, definitely worth ordering from. I actually prefer eating upstairs (at Smith's) than downstairs unless I want the restaurant experience.
Smith's has some serious history, it's been around for a century. Cool place, check it out.
I'm there for the diverse selection of beer styles. You will discover a beer for your mood. The full menu from Theodore's downstairs is pretty darn alright. Shuffleboards and nice pool tables. Jukebox doesn't connect to the internet, but that's fine because it's full of ZZ Top and Van Halen. The history is obvious and yes, the giant window is very cool in the summer. Killer boots man!
