They were open til 1am (thursday night). The beers on draft range from $5 - $14 but I never spent above $6.50 and had the beers I'll list below. I didn't get to check out Birch and Barley, but I'm really excited about that as well. The food upstairs smelled delicious, but we didn't order any. Same price range: $4 - $15 or so. They have 4 tvs behind the really long bar, so that's a plus - no need to avoid because you wanted to watch a game. The staff was clearly earning their keep last night and I never felt like it took too long to get my drink. We had one issue when my tab came back 3 beers more than we order, but it was taken care of with no questions asked and without any silly groveling for forgiveness. <br /><br />Having been in the industry here and in NYC, I'm not easily impressed, though I'm not a snob/critic either. Given the pent up anticipation and HUGE crowd (probably over capacity), the place was seamless and gorgeous on opening night. The devil is in the details as they say and I must tip my hat to everyone that works for or with this establishment. I'll be heading over there as much as my budget can allow.<br /><br />Beer's I had:<br /><br /> Bell's<br />*Third Coast Old Ale 2008<br />*Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter, *New Holland Smoked Rye Bock<br />*Allagash Curieux Tripel aged in casks formerly used to<br />mature Jim Beam Bourbon<br />*Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale.<br /><br />the last 2 were cask beers, and none of those were more than $6.50 for a glass (some were smaller glasses)DCnaivehttp://dcnaive.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095284393772305956.post-31909508935387165182009-10-22T11:07:32.888-04:002009-10-22T11:07:32.888-04:00Didn't see a menu for Birch and Barley, and th...Didn't see a menu for Birch and Barley, and they don't have it up on their website yet...ChurchKey menu is pub fare, so most stuff is in the $6-$12 range. Dunno about the beer prices.<br /><br />Hours are Sun-Thurs. to 1a, Fri-Sat to 2a.<br /><br />One other item worth noting: they were supposed to have a rooftop deck. Unfortunately, the delayed opening has pushed that back as well. I've been told that the rooftop deck will be opening in the spring.Mr. Other Upper NWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12536367497290075887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095284393772305956.post-82720445029401607532009-10-22T10:49:53.573-04:002009-10-22T10:49:53.573-04:00Address, hours, and prices fail.Address, hours, and prices fail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095284393772305956.post-65678621794566702232009-10-22T10:03:23.834-04:002009-10-22T10:03:23.834-04:00So excited for this.
