Lone Wolf

We put our name im at Au Cheval (worth it) next door and came over for 3 floyds beers. The place was packed but the service was on point. From the chalkboard it appears they have at least 3- 3floyds on at a time. Coming from the east coast this was our priority. With Lonewolf, Au Cheval, HayMarket and Green St eats within a block or so of each other this is a great spot

 

 

 

 

 

We didn’t make it into the famed and crowded Au Cheval, but we were happy to find this cool bar right next door (thanks to the faux-vintage FFF sign). While not associated with the Floyds, they are friends with them and get cool stuff on tap: Zombie Dust, Battle Priest, Alpha Kong. Beyond the Floyds, Perennial, Aquanaut, Allagash Black and Pivo. $6-$7 per beer, but the two rare Floyds were ten bucks.

A small menu of scotch eggs, rarebit and smoked salmon sandwich was delightful. Cool music, empty joint… a nice break from the surrounding douchebaggery of Randolph Street.

 

 

Great bar, right across the street from Haymarket. Big FFF selection.

I stopped by on a Saturday night after a visit to Hay Market which is about 100 yards away.

I like how they modified a classic Old Style sign into a Three Floyds one. There is a U shaped bar that dominated the room and there is table seating areas on three sides. bathrooms to the back. The decor was sleek but had a touch of classic tavern to it.

It was crowded when we arrived, but we literally got the last two seats in the place. The crowd was well dressed and I got the feeling this was lot of peoples first stop before heading out to do some clubbing. It was a pretty friendly crowd with a pretty even gender split.

There is a chalk board on the western wall that lists their current draft outings. Beers were well taken care of and prices are about what you would expect for this part of town (a bit spendy but nothing crazy).
I counted 5 offering from 3Fs and maybe another 15 or so well chosen craft options.

The service was professional and prompt.

I would have no problem returning when I'm back in this part of town .

This is a great destination for 3 Floyd's fans - it appears they have four dedicated FFF taps - when I was there, it was Zombie Dust, Alpha Kong, Gumballhead, and Battle Priest. Only 8 taps total, so the draft selection is limited.

 

The only place that serves good beer AND meat pies, cant go wrong with beer and pies

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lone Wolf looks like a faux dive from the street, an Old Style sign modified with an FFF logo hangs above a standard issue facade, complete with narrow windows with wolf silhouette neons, glass bricks, and swinging porthole doors. Inside it's more cozy and welcoming with a squared off horseshoe bar front and center, and rounded booths flanking along the side walls. Some recycled vintage light fixtures and exposed brick walls give it a rough hewn yet cozy vibe.

Draft list was on a pair of chalkboards mounted on opposite walls, and an additional beverage list was available at the bar (cocktail focused). Fairly small beer list, maybe a dozen drafts and a dozen bottles. Heavy on FFF, other than that there was a limited selection of craft and imports. Zombie Dust, GBH, Dreadnaught, as well as FFF current seasonals. Half Acre Over Ale and Pony Pils were the only other local beers that caught my eye.

Food was limited to Pleasant House "royal pies" half size meat pies, and a few small snacks. The chicken curry one was good, as was the scotch egg.

Service was timely, laid back, and pleasant. Crowd was also manageable and laid back on a Saturday afternoon. Overall it's a nice little spot, an oasis in an ocean of trendy dining options.
