I was wondering what to expect both in terms of food to snack on as well as the beer selection? Thanks a lot - all info would be greatly appreciated, I was literally unable to find ANY information on the place. Im guessing it is new.

I don't remember the beer selection as being all that. But again, years ago. Thu Apr 24 07:14:08 -0700 2008 3625175 13722 small h 2 3628483 Thanks, went to the website you had listed. Really didnt give me too much though unfotunately. Im guessing from the reviews they have a decent beer tap list which is promising.

I believe there are 4 or beers on tap (Guinness, Jever, Stella, and Bass?) and nearly same number in bottles. There are many more choices when it comes to wine. Usually over a dozen reds and whites and good mixed drinks. Food can be ordered from the outside and on slower nights many people have food delivered from Bianca next door but the crowds makes it uncomfortable to do so on a Saturday. I suggest you eat before going to the birthday. Btw, Simon is close with the bartender's name but he is not quite right. I'm not going to post her name because as a former bartender I didn't like strangers calling my name while I was working. Fri Apr 25 04:38:25 -0700 2008 3625175 10195 KTinNYC
