Regulars love this old-line Montrose hangout for its premium beers on tap and its shambling, cozy feel. They also know that the menu of respectable pub grub features a cheeseburger of true artisan standards, with a fine handmade beef patty and meticulous fixings, right down to the griddled-on-both-sides bun. And live-music fans know that the bar's second level houses of the most consistently interesting live-music stages in Houston, presenting punk, rock, metal, indie, pop, and roots bands of both the local and touring variety.
