A superb neighborhood pub, with creative decor like beer cans piled floor to ceiling and longboard skateboards attached to the walls. It sells craft ales on pump and prepares fresh pizza (from $7). Vegetarians should try the meat-free Mondays offering pies with inventive flavors like the ‘crows pass butternut squash' – shiitake mushrooms, sage, fontina, bechamel and lemon zest.
