Excellent location, on a sunny balcony above the street. The crowd is mostly tech-​policy advocates, so the conversations run heavily towards how to make the Internet more free and open. If you can get there on a Lolcatering day, you can enjoy delicious food, with gluten free and vegan options, at no additional charge.

I *love* this place. Between the stray cats, the occasional visitor from the funny farm, and the quirky cast of regulars, this has got to be the best hidden bar in town. Sometimes they even have clowns!
As a fellow reviewer noted, the beer selection does leave a bit to be desired, but I’m willing to put that aside.

Best beer garden ever. Very exclusive crowd, but super friendly once you get to know them.
The kind of place where everyone knows your name. Dog friendly. Spotty wifi.

The weekly Photoshop battles are legendary, as is the drink selection! They have a dedicated group of regulars so there’s always a friendly face and good conversation.

Lovely people, sunny afternoons, good selection of beer, open wifi.
Minus one star, as the secret security cameras aren’t hidden as well as they could be. Come on, you can do better with the camouflage!
