Pleasurably consumed a Beechwood Infinity Isle IPA from New Zealand. Hurricane Sue’s Smog City Little Bo Pils American Pilsner was also excellent. For further enjoyment, later tried ISM Beach Boys blonde ale, another fine recommendation from the bartender, Matt. Who not only has strong connections to the regional brewery scene, but also described how they regularly clean the tap lines, rotate selections for freshness, and painstakingly do all they can to provide outstanding beer quality. Sure tasted like it to me.

The bar had seating for about 15 beer lovers, with large beer placard paraphernalia up on the walls. Amazing tap selections for every taste, including iconic Pliny the Elder, which I tasted a sample of before leaving. This well-worn bar counter has character, no damn video poker, and only one smaller-size TV up in each corner, not distracting from the colorful beer menu. In other words, perfectly how I like it. A mangy friendly dog kept popping his head up over the counter from the far corner, the business mascot named Conrad. That’s a new one.

I liked the music, which could have been louder, but conversation with other patrons made easier that way. When I asked Matt what ‘595’ stood for, it’s simply the highway name for Rainbow Boulevard. See? You can learn a lot by going to bars! They have a Happy Hour here Monday to Friday, 3 to 6 pm. We’ll definitely be back.
