This Design District hot spot gets both halves of the gastropub thing right: The imaginative, eclectic and even challenging beer list is matched by the well-thought-out and often surprising food. Most of the plates at dinnertime are meant to be shared, and they range from Asian-inflected (seared ahi tuna skewers) to English (pot pies) to full-on fusion (Chinatown fried farro). Not to be missed: the fried chicken-skin chips in a sweet-and-spicy glaze. One of the longest beer lists anywhere - 40 drafts and 150 more in bottles, plus a decent wine list with 20 or so wines by the glass. Brunch Saturdays and Sundays. Full bar. — Mark Vamos, Guide
