Drinks & Nightlife
In a world obsessed with IPAs, it's a refreshing change to sample some of the delicious brews Kinslagher puts out. The Nitro Stout is recommended, but not for the lightweight... or faint hearted. It's also nice that TIPS are NOT allowed. They pay their staff well enough that the price on the menu is the price you pay.
