As aspiring craft beer snobs visiting a notoriously a wine-centric country, we put in an extra bit…read moreof leg work to find some local craft brews. So glad we did our research and ventured out to this neighborhood to experience this gem a somewhat reasonable walk from the Suanzes metro stop on the 5.
The beer was quite good - nothing extraordinary, but all solid to excellent. The oatmeal IPA was a standout - the oat added a nice, smooth finish to the hoppy beer. The coffee stout was nice and strong (10.3%). A bit one-note, but when that note is great coffee, I'm not going to complain.
Food was equally enjoyable, if not more so. Nachos were baked - warm and crispy and hearty, with great mix of chicken, guac, tomatoes and red onion - nothing like the blob of crap you often get back in the states. The Pollo negro à la stout was incredibly flavorful, with a dark beer sauce to pour over it.
Our server, Alec, was incredibly friendly. My wife enjoyed exercising her Spanish and talking beer with him, and he helped us pick some bottles to go. He seemed legit pleased when we told him the place reminded us of the kind of cool, indie spot we love back home in Brooklyn (high praise indeed from Brooklyners)!
