b² Taphouse &Brewery is a place I haven't been to before. I hit all of the breweries quite some…read moretime ago in Salem (also learned to drink more smartly after that trip) and a few more have popped up since. I didn't get the impression this place makes it's own beer as all I saw was guest taps... which is okay because the list was quite large. Looking in Untappd it does look like they indeed made their beer at one point and time and maybe they still do... I just didn't see any on the list. So tsking my own advice and drinking smartly I got a root beer here that was also on tap along with the beer. I don't recall who exactly made the root beer but it was from a brewery and some craft breweries make absolutely fantastic craft sodas and this one was very good! The place seems to have spacious seating but placing orders up at the front counter can get congested. This place is in a cool spot so despite not finding beer I still walked away from it feeling it was a positive experience.

This brewery here is pretty chill and relaxed, at least the day when I was here it was. For this brewery I had the Italian Job which was an Italian Pilsner. It was decent and I had no complaints about it. I am kind of picky with this type of pilsner and felt like I have come across a bit better ones in my brewery adventures but it was still pleasant and refreshing. Flavor features in this beer are biscuity with a crisp finish. As I mentioned it was a refreshing and a good beer to have during the summer heat.

The…read morehotel clerk recommended Lucky's Pub that was about a 5 minute walk from my hotel (The Phoenix Inn & Suites). The bar is located at the back of an older shopping center next to a gun store and martial arts studio...can you say Dive Bar. The small place has bar seating for about a dozen people and another dozen or so tables. There was some sort of "slot machine" assortment in another area. The entire place, including the men's bathroom, was very clean. The bar had about 6 beers on tap, another dozen in cans/bottles and a decent selection of name-brand liquors. The bars is definitely a no-frills, local bar. Having said that, the bartender was very friendly and prompt with her service. The regulars were really friendly, which resulted in quite a few nice conversations during my two visits. As mentioned above, I had such a good time the first night, that I came back my second night in town. Pretty good recommendation for a place. If you happen to find yourself in Salem and are looking for a cool, local bar, you could do no better than Lucky's Pub. Highly recommend.

There is a lot of Batman memorabilia all over the place but it's done in a classy yet fun way. Since they are indeed a Tap house they don't appear to make their own beer but they have lots of guest taps for beers and I believe I saw some cider. I got a small pour of beer and enjoyed the atmosphere of the place before moving on but this was a fun stop and of course being a comic book nerd this was a very special kind of place even though I typically go for Marvel.

Juicy and not skimpy on the toppings. The fries were crispy and delicious. My husband got the nachos and let me tell you, it's enough for 2-3 people!!! The toppings were mixed through out the nachos and the salsa was homemade and not too spicy. We will be definitely coming back.
