Another on the list of breweries. This is a good one, and the head brewer/owner won the 1995 Notional Homebrew Championship for his Muddy Mo Brown Ale. Try it at the tap it is good. No food here, but there are typically food trucks or we recommend the Mexican place 2 doors down. Mula

If you are attending an event near the Century Link or Ameritech park this bar may or may not be for you. It is a bit noisy and difficult to get in to when there are sporting events nearby. Other times it is a nice place to go. Try the ribs!
