More than 40 beer taps line the long bar, as does a broad age range of sophisticated shoppers and partiers.

The Scene
An urban-industrial vibe transports patrons far from the ritzy shopping of International Plaza mall. It's a huge and echoing space, attracting after-work professionals who swarm in for a casual nosh and a fancy brew or two. The encyclopedic array of beers can wow even connoisseurs. Chichi martinis seem to be the preference of well-heeled female patrons, many of whom are surrounded by bags from the day's shopping.

The Food
Funky artwork and a hard-to-resist soundtrack of '80s hits form the backdrop for a lineup of bar-food staples. There are zingy Buffalo wings, served in three degrees of heat or with a sticky bourbon-honey glaze and a competent group of deep-fried finger foods (tame jalapeno poppers, gooey mozzarella sticks with pleasant marinara, even sweet, fat and greaseless onion rings).
