I’ve been here a few times and I kinda like it. It is kinda dead most of the time though, so I’m scared it’s not doing too well, although I hear the restaurant portion (the Coffee Table Bistro) is doing good. Service is always prompt and courteous, and some of the staff are pretty knowledgeable about their beer. Selection is pretty good, you have some decent stuff on tap (and yucky PBR too, this place caters to the hipsters in the area). I haven’t tried the food, however. Most things are decently priced; they have some kickass specials like a bottle of Alesmith Wee-Heavy my friend and I downed for $15. That’s only $4 more than the price in most stores. Overall a good place I like going too and hope to visit again in the near future.

My first visit was tonight and I was more impressed by the bottles. Stone, Rogue, North Coast, Anderson Valley are well represented, but so are Hair of the Dog, Victory, and I saw the only Alpine bottle I have ever encountered in the LA metro. Ambiance and interior decoration are just shit, and TVs are quite present. The food comes from next door at the Coffee Table and is way more than competent.
