Biercraft Pub in Wesbrook Village is just a few minutes drive just like The University Golf Club. When we had Mahoney's within walking distance we used that as our local pub but now that Mahoney's has closed we decided to give Biercraft a try.
Donna and I went there for lunch recently and I noticed there was a "Happy Hour". We went there last night and really liked the food and felt it was a good deal. And they serve popcorn as a little taste before. It was also very festive and they have this great tree lit up in front.
I think this will become a local for us. But then, Brown's Social Pub is opening soon and will be within walking distance....ah, so many choices.
