A good bar and grill gets two things right: a grill that handles meat and burgers well, and a tap list worth exploring. A tasting paddle is the easiest way to find a beer you like without committing to a pint, and sharing plates let a group taste more of the kitchen. Roasts and platters are good for groups, and booking ahead helps for Friday evenings and weekends. Ask staff what has just been tapped, since seasonal beers often sell out.
