My friends and I went there tonight. They've got it capped at 65 occupants to keep with an atmosphere. Very laid back with medium volume music. They've also got some sort of mint aroma that comes from an oil in the ceiling. Great selection of national/world beers on top of their Fitger's beer. We all had a great time, but called it quits when Retribution Gospel Choir started upstairs in the bar area. I'll definitely be back!

I understand the concerns with leaving your ID with a stranger, but at the same time, the guy was employed there. It's not like he was throwing them in his pocket, he was very courteous and positive. Our group grew from 2 to 6 (not huge) but he had no problems raising it. Initially he said 20-25 minutes, but we were down there within 15. He was very verbal about the fact that if people don't show, you move up on the list. There were indeed the right amount of exit routes. I thought the beer selection was good, but not great. I did like the idea of being able to buy a half-pint of beer. I felt the service was adequate. Pretty girls continually asking if you needed anything, but at the end of the night on an opening weekend, it doesn't surprise me that they might run out of a few things. 

I also don't mind the idea that they're limiting occupancy. For being such a large bar, upstairs I've never been able to get a seat, which bothers the hell out of me, so waiting a bit to be able to sit comfortably with friends while we enjoy a few good beers was no problem. The fact is, they opened this the same weekend as St Patty's day, so of course there's going to be a wait or even a few hiccups.
