From an upstate husband-and-wife "beer geek" team and their bulldog "Buckshowalter", this small, French-door-wood-countered bar is focusing on "real food that pairs well with beers" (sooo basically, no Cheez Whiz?), with rotating, daily delivered East & West coast oysters, cheese/charcuterie plates, and burgers carefully designed to go with taps pouring out Empire Cream Ale, 21st Amendment's Back in Black, and Peak Organic Nut Brown Ale.
