A beer and wine joint geared toward locals, set in a historic — and reportedly haunted — Old Town home.An ample and varied wine list is described as a "modern selection of very accessible wines priced between $20 and $50 per bottle."
Draft beers range from $5 to $8 and include such unique brews as Magic Hat #9 and the continually hopped Dogfish Head 90-Minute IPA, which boasts a whopping 9 percent alcohol.
Another unusual draft is Captain Eli's Root Beer, made with natural cane and brown sugar in small batches up in Maine.
There are also a number of bottled beers, including the standout Saranac Pomegranate Wheat brewed in Utica, N.Y. by the family-owned Matt Brewing Co. It's a light-bodied, golden wheat beer with a sweet, but not overly so, pomegranate finish. And there's a drawing of a bear juggling pomegranates on the bottle — another obvious plus.
