Noteworthy Beer bars

That's what I was saying! Those prices are beyond reasonable compared to Boston.

 

Unsure if any of these qualify for this thread, since they are all full-blown restaurants, albeit with a particular emphasis on beer...

These are some of the fine establishments I've been blessed to visit in the past year:

Birch Bar in Norfolk, VA (thebirchbar.com)

Mekong in Richmond, VA (when you walk in, you think it's a joke: no way can this be a great bar, it's a Vietnamese restaurant... until you get to the bar in the back.)

 

Yeah...I dont really know what the deal is with that...They seem to be the last one hanging on around here. They have a rep over there of being very hipsterish in a negative way. I think they might think its cool. I definitely dont.
