More than just a typical sports bar, Bugsy's also has indoor basketball and volleyball, lots of pool tables, and a few video games. It's dark, with very loud music, and plenty of TVs. Their four beers come from a two-barrel extract system in the front window. Pints go for $2.75, ten-ounce glasses for $1.75. There's also a bottle cooler that contains mainly industrial beers with a couple of notable German imports. The small kitchen specializes in finger food ($2-$4) and pizza ($9-$13), which is really all you need while you're watching a game. You can forget about getting inside during a Packer game.

Deep golden, thick head. Odd odor...smells like hot metal. Light body. Big green hop flavor without a lot of bitterness. Clean malty flavor underneath. Finishes sweet. Compares favorably to Cooper's.

Amber, moderate carbonation and head. Smells like fresh malt right out of the bag. Sweet, malty, worty. Tastes like it wasn't even fermented.
