Stone City Ales

Top choice in Kingston


Arguably the best beer in Kingston; have a pint while the staff bustle around changing the record on the turntable, serving charcuterie boards and guiding tasters through their flight (three 6oz beers $9). Choose between mainstays and special-release beers, accompanied by a menu of ribs, wings, chips, dips, cheese platters and more.
