Notes

Visited: April 13, 2005

Opened: 2002

Some beers are brewed on-site, and some are from River Horse Brewery in Lambertville NJ. In fact, all of the tap handles bear the River Horse label. The day I visited, the bartender wasn't sure which beers were from which brewery, so I'm calling them all Porterhouse until I find out otherwise.
