NileGuide Expert tip:
If you don't know a lot about beers but want to try something interesting, look for a copy of Monk's "Beer Bible" when you come into this place. The Bible explains everything you need to know about the huge selection of brews -- allegedly the largest selection in the city. And don't leave this place without trying the award-winning fries with homemade spicy aioli!
Description:

They offer one of the finest selections of beer in the entire United States and sell quality beers at moderate prices.
