Foie Gras is to Quebec as Pickled Liver is to Dieu du Ciel.  Feed that bad boy!
This brewpub is the place to be, every night. If you're not here, you don't exist.

It seriously felt like I was at an Elite Yelp Event.  Everybody hovers around the Bar.
Except I'm squeezing between people where the Bar narrows to PAY for Alcohol.
No matter.  $4.50 pints before 9:00 pm even on Weekend is superb.
After 9:00 pm seems…More »
