Solid microbrewery. I liked the Brown Bear Brown and the Rock Creek Pale Ale, but none of their beers are all that incredible. Barstaff was friendly and the environment is nice.

Better than Gordon Biersch. Burger is better than Clyde's. Fries are also better. Will probably be my go-to pub fare joint when I'm in the area.
