The take

Scale is the concept here — multiple bars, a mezzanine devoted to bourbon, a patio warmed for winter, and pies sized like cafe tables. Easy place to lose a bachelor party and find it again.

What to order: Dolly, their honey blonde ale, is the house favorite — easy drinking with honey notes all the way through.
