They are a little brewpub that brew their beers on a 2 bbl system! Holy shit! and they bring some great beers and a nice atmosphere with the rough hewn tables and wrought iron supports. They have some nice fish tacos too and their rotating specials keep it interesting. Sure many restaurants and fast food joints are just food but some places stand out and rate as institutions.
Agreed. There's a pub called Granny Annie's that's been in my home town since before WWII. It's such an INSTITUTION that people never call it by name, just 'the place' as in, 'Are ye goin to t' place tonight?' or 'Had an amazing pie at the place.'
