@silverbullet: hey, nobody said it has to be Of Montreal: i’d gladly replace all the Tool on jukeboxes in this town with Sam Cooke or Peter Tosh CDs purchased with my own money. Don’t be so defensive, it’s not Craigslist Rants N Raves here, brah.

and why are we taking metal and math rock out of the jukeboxes? to fill it with mediocre, mid-tempo unnoffensive 2nd/3rd wave indie/hipster demographic drek?

and by the way what the hell is wrong with the trestle inn? great, good job, hipsters. 2 years from now there will be a tria and a byob and a starbucks. 2 years after that, bed bath & beyond and panera bread. great. good job philly.

WOW what a place, i don’t know what Crystal is talking about the food was actually light for a pub menu. I had “beer mussels” and a burger that was perfect with house cut fries, and a heavy seas winter ale which was a delight. It is so nice to go to a place that calls itself a beer bar and actually have craft beers from somewhere other then the typical local stuff. I cant wait to go back and see what is new on draft.

I went last night and found the spot to be nicely put together. I love the shape of the bar, it totally allows for larger groups of people to sit at the bar and actually converse with more than just the person to your right or left.

The food was tasty but EXTRAORDINARILY greasy. My stomach is still reeling from the shock.

I will go back, but will stick to the very nicely priced beers.

umm…the institute deserves some love for being a bar with good beer on tap in the area.

my one complaint about prohibition is its ordering policy. its weird to order at the bar and then have the food and drink come to the table. either let me do everything myself, or do it all, imo.

and it was kinda loud in there.

but those green beans are damn good.

I was there with a couple of friends last night for the first time as well. The food was definitely solid, the Hoisin wings could have used some more spice though. I agree on the salads and the beer-battered beans. I was happy to see hand-pumped ESA on tap. That shit will never stop being delicious.
