“ I LOVE THE ALE AND THE WITCH!! Great staff and incredible choices on beer. It is also a good place to catch a concert. Applebutter Express, especially! Love this place. ”
“ A great selection of draft beer combined with experienced, knowledgeable bar staff makes this the prime spot for beer and music.. The bottled DF 120 was very fairly priced and finding Allagash and Chimay on draft made me happy. One warning: Plan to walk, uber home. ”
“ It is a great beer pub with a wide selection of brews and friendly service. Small space but has a very large outdoor courtyard with live music every evening. Each evening is a different style, so check the calendar to see who's playing. Small selection of food, mostly snacks, but other vendors around the courtyard also offer food. ”

“ Best bar in Downtown St Pete! The 32 taps (ALL AMERICAN) are usually rare and unbelievably delicious. The courtyard is very private and large with great music on the weekends. They also have a great run club on Monday Nights. ;) ”
“ This is a very welcoming beer lover's heaven. They always have 30 or so widely varied and quality beers on tap and bartenders are on top of everything with speed. They very frequently have music in the vestibule in front of the bar too with much outdoor seating and tables for relaxing enjoyment. They now have many wines and sangria as well. Before 6pm on weekdays all taps and wine is 5! ”
